Not quite Science Fiction...
Codex introduction
Same idea here as Wulfhere's wonderful Tales of Adventure inspired scrolls. Space, the Penultimate Frontier! Pomp, Pulp, and Circumstance abound!
Tales of Adventure
are brief adventure plots or story elements, presented in a few paragraphs. What separates a Tale of Adventure from other plots is that it gives three different directions for the adventure to play out. They may be minor twists in how the original situation is presented, or they may turn the whole scenario upside down.

Wotcha gonna do?
Like a young shoot rising from the earth, this one's going to need nurturing to reach its full potential. Futuristic Science Fiction could become an interesting part of the Citadel, but it needs encouragement until it reaches a 'critical mass'.
