Welcome fellow traveller to the Open Science Quest. In this interactive story, you are an engineer on spaceship (print:$ship), exploring the wonders of the universe...

Your spaceship is equipped with a time travelling device that allows you to come back on some decisions you made. But the technology is still limited, you can only go back a few steps back and each time you do so consumes a time cristal. Your current ship is equipped with (print:$cristal) time cristals.
[[Let's go->Setting-the-scene]](print:$ai): The hyperdrive is overheating, 90% critical overload, imminent risk of exploding. Life support system at 30% functional, 310 minutes of oxygen remaining. Shields at 1%. No active external threats detected. I recommend repairing the hyperdrive immediately.
[[Go and repair the hyperdrive->Repair-hyperdrive]]It might have worked on antique technologies, but hitting the control panel made the hyperdrive overheat even faster. Your lost of temper leads to an explosion destroying the ship and all life on board.

Agnieszka Jablonski is mentioned as the corresponding author.
Zella doesn't appear to have a surname, just a name, which is uncommon.

*We are sorry to inform you that Agnieszka Jablonski passed away a year ago. If your query is personal, her family is currently not accepting calls. If your query is professional, please send your message to the digital desk of the International Centre for Space Exploration. Please note that more complex requests that require human interpretation are usually treated between one to three weeks.*
[[Contact someone else->contact-authors]] The engineer looks into their contacts and call Beth Johnson. The call lasts for a few minutes, but they seem disapointed. "It's apparently not **my** Beth Johnson that worked on this model".
"We could try and look online?" But unfortunately, while we manage to identify the Beth Johnson, her contact details are obsolete. She apparently moved to another research institute a couple of months ago.
[[Panic->panic]]
[[Contact someone else->contact-authors]] Zella (or it's formal name ZEL01A9C and currently under version 4.56) is a non-autonomous artificial intelligence helping with the calculation of data and models at the International Centre for Space Exploration.
We won't be able to get the model from this AI as it is non-autonomous.
[[Contact someone else->contact-authors]] A search on the SpaceWideDatabase returns dozens of potential authors with the name Huang Shuzhen. We don't have this kind of time.
[[Contact someone else->contact-authors]] "Search completed. I excluded Agnieszka Jablonski as she is no longer alive, as well as Zella since it is a non-autonomous AI.
I crossreferenced publications and names and have a 98% confidence that I have identified the other two authors.
Beth Johnson's contact details are identical to what we found before. It seems she has not yet updated her ORCID profile.
I do have contact details for Huang Shuzhen."

*Congratulations for making it this far fellow Open Science Voyager, or should I say Open Science Trainer! If you reached this section it probably means you were testing a gamified activity to get an idea of how a simple fictional interactive story can help learners discover or acquire new knowledge.
The story was constructed into two 'acts'. In Act 1 it was all about discovering who your character is, where you are, what is the issue and the aim of the story. Learners also got to familiarise themselves with the tool and experience how choices have consequences in this story.
Act 2 starts when the engineers have decided to repair the hyperdrive. This act has for purpose to present ORCID and make them understand various scenarios of why it is important for researchers to have an up-to-date ORCID profile.
But what happens next?! Well it's up to you now. I invite you to [[try on the creation of a gamified activity->Gamified-instructions]] by building on this story. Or alternatively you can experience this story again (and again) by [[travelling back in time->The-Open-Science-Quest]] and restarting your adventure... The choice is yours.*In your panic, you accidentally hit a piece of equipment leading to an explosion destroying the ship and all life on board.
You have (print:$cristal) time cristals remaining.(set:$cristal to it - 1) Would you like to use one time cristal to [[travel back in time ->contact-authors]] ?**Gamified activity exercise**
To simplify the creation process, I will set a few instructions to follow. You are welcome to do whatever you want obviously, but it sometimes helps to have some restrictions in place to not lose focus of what you're trying to achieve: teaching about a topic.
* Act 3: you received the model from the author, but you cannot open it (proprietary file format) and/or once you do, you cannot make sense of it (lack of documentation). The learning objective of this act is getting familiar with the FAIR principles.
* End of Act 3: the engineers have to successfully compile the model on their pad, run it and get the new parameters which fixes the issue with the hyperdrive overheating.
* Make use of the onboard AI as an ally in your story (do not make it a villain)
* Use at least one decision choice that is meaningful and has an impact on the story (it doesn't have to be the ship exploding). But this choice should branch back at the end (i.e. only one ending).
* Have one "free text" parameter that the player has to enter (e.g. the parameters needed to repair the hyperdrive).
* Avoid using randomisation (e.g. dice throwing) or knowledge quiz in your story.
* You should mention at least once the "FAIR principles", but avoid giving a formal definition. Aim towards integrating it 'organically' within the story.
Good luck
