Pseudogravity Failure Storyboard

Moss Piglets' First Storyboard

Home Pseudogravity Who's Driving? Zipline Looks Like Zipline works Like Switch looks Like Stabilizer looks Like Stabilizer works Like

This room is inspired by artificial gravity. It is technically possible to create pseudogravity in a spacecraft, by spinning the spaceship to create a centrifugal force that pulls humans to the outside. If the spaceship stops spinning, weightlessness resumes.

The story could be edited to be a spaceship power failure or pressure failure, if there is a concern that not many guests to OpenWorld are familiar with artificial gravity.

As the door to the room closes, a loud alarm starts beeping and a computerized voice announces, "Pseudogravity failure, 20 seconds. Please secure yourselves." The guests look up to find a large sign, with the word "Failure" flashing in a specific sequence of colors. "Uh oh, what do we do??"

Alarmed, the guests look around to find they are in a hydraulics control and boiler room. "Look at those brightly colored switches!"

The room includes 5 different colored switches and two sets of monkey bars. "Pseudogravity failure, 10 seconds".

"We better secure ourselves so we don't float away and try to access those switches." "Pseudogravity failure, 5...4...3...2...1." The guests grab on to climbing elements throughout the room and start to climb to the switches, just as the countdown reaches zero. The "Failure" sign now stays red.

The guests spread out across the room, each going to a different switch. A motion sensor watches that guests stay on the monkey bars and are securely traveling throughout the room.

"How do you think we restore the pseudogravity?" "These switches are the same color as the "Failure" sign flashes." "Who remembers the order of the colors that it was flashing? Let's pull the switches in that order."

Luckily, one guest was observant and remembers the sequence of colors. The guests work together to pull the switches in the order of the "Failure" sign colored flashes.

When the last switch is tripped, the computerized voice comes back on, "Pseudogravity restored", and the sign turns a bright green. The guests are now allowed to stand on the floor and make their way to the next room. "Yay! We did it!"
