After evading local law enforcement, the crew of the Tempus find their beloved ship in a starport impound lot, in considerably more pieces than they last saw her. The crew must find a way to escape the planet, but in order to leave, they must first build six specific ship parts and install them in the ship without alerting the guards. Games in the Tempus series work similarly to roll and write games where players roll dice and use the results to fill in a sheet. In the Tempus System, instead of using dice, players will use the date and time to randomize setup and available actions. —description from the designer
