It was announced today that billionaire Clive Rupus will host a space event beginning November 23. Rupus, as well known for his eclectic proclivities as his astute business sense, refused to comment on the event but his publicity firm released the following statement: "Pilots are invited to participate in the Celestial Circuit this week. Festivities are expected to commence at 9am Pacific Earth time on November 23rd and last until 10pm Pacific Earth time, November 25th. Participants will be required to match wit with brawn as they travel the course around the Galaxy. All registered entrants will receive a reward after successful completion of the circuit.The Celestial Circuit brings both physical and mental obstacles into this Galactic adventure as participants struggle to get from beginning to end. Pilots will follow clues to get to each of the Checkstations and may be required to perform a task before they are allowed to travel to the next Checkstation.
Checkstation 1 will be available in several sectors, and it is the only Checkstation with multiple locations. The locations of other Checkstations will be kept secret, and participants have only the first clue to hint at what to look for..
FIRST CLUE: Lifeless and immobilized, glowing light fills the sky. Lips of alloy, legs of steel. One click and it awakens.
Previously, Rupus has sponsored events such as the Solar Tolerance Test, Cold Drake Herding and Capital Ship Races. This is his first attempt at an event in three years after the disastrous Narcissian Spore Jump-a-thon, where 11 contestants were killed during time trials.
