"Mankind will reach maturity on the day it learns to value diversity—of life and ideas. To be different is not necessarily to be ugly; to have a different idea is not necessarily to be wrong. The worst thing that could happen is for all of us to look and think and act alike." Gene Roddenberry

Here is your chance to be of service to the Queen's Navy, even if you have not joined up! Can you solve the mystery and save the day? Breakout boxes are a portable form of an escape room. You will have to solve a number of clues to open a series of locks to get into the box. This will be set in the Honorverse by David Weber, but you do not have to have read the books to play. If you are interested, this will be set after the events of book 1, On Basilisk Station.
