CATCH A FALLING STAR

by Hazed

This is your final warning. Fail to heed this warning and you will miss out on the chance to obtain a very special, once-in-a-lifetime souvenir that will make you the envy of all your friends. I am talking about the object you will be able to get at this afternoon's Meteor Shower Party, being hosted by Catspaws in the roof garden of Chez Diesel on Mars from 4.00pm eastern onwards.

The party is on the roof because it gives you a chance to watch the Perseid meteor shower, which peaks in the next few days. As always, Diesel has laid on free drinks and there's a barbecue providing a variety of mystery meat. Yum.

To get your grubby little hands, tentacles, suckers or equivalent gripping organ, on the souvenir, just 'CATCH A FALLING STAR' (or 'CATCH' for short). The item you end up with is one of the new persistent objects which will remain in your inventory forever, unless you give it away, drop it or break it.

Have fun at the party, and meanwhile to get you in the mood, here's a picture of a shooting star, part of the Perseid meteor shower from the year 2000.
