I had fun imagining an unexpected twist for the Don't Starve Together lore. I don't know how plausible it is, not much I fear. But I would gladly play an soviet cosmonaut as a new character :'D
"Yesterday in the sky a aurora borealis appeared: mastodontic, iridescent, we remained to look at it for amazed hours, while Wilson was striving trying to give an explanation to the absurd phenomenon. Then a star fell from the skies: it was made of incandescent metal, with a symbol on it that greatly disturbed some of us: a scythe and a hammer surmounted by a red star.
Wolfgang explained to me that this was the symbol of a labor and political movement in his native country, Russia. But why he was on a metal star, or why he had come to the Constant, he just couldn't answer me"
"For days now, metal stars have been falling: at least one a night. We have set up shifts to constantly monitor the sky: the last thing we want is for a piece of incandescent metal to rain from above, ending our suffering.
Wilson and Winona started to open some of the stars: inside there are very sophisticated circuits, neither of them was able to tell what they could serve.
We are facing some extraordinary celestial machine, however. I fear the world has changed profoundly since I ventured into these lands. It all seems so alien... however that aurora borealis must be a sort of gash, of portal with our world, otherwise this rain of Soviet debris cannot be explained"
"We found a man in one of the metal stars: he was wearing a strange suit of an unknown material.
When we pulled him out he was still alive, even if he senseless. He had a disturbing mask to breathe on his face.
While he was resting beside the fire in a state of convalescence, Wolfgang tried to translate some writing on the suit for us: unfortunately he could not say why the word "Greeting Program" was written on it.
We have also found a map of the world with new and bizarre states over it: we have discovered that the world is now divided into two large blocks, the United States and the Soviet Union. We begin to fear something terrible has happened: Wigfrid continues to talk about how they are all signs of the imminent arrival of Ragnarok. We only hope that when the "Greeting Man" recovers he will know how to give us explanations"
"The "Greeting Man" regained consciousness for less than ten minutes yesterday morning: few, but when it was enough for Wolfgang to ask him some questions in their language: when they finished talking, Wolfgang was upset: he told us that the man was delirious of an apocalyptic catastrophe, of the use of super-weapons that would have made the earth a barren and invincible pit of fire.He described scenarios of rare horror, smoke mushrooms that rose in the sky under their celestial ship, until the moment in which he had fallen.
Since yesterday there is a strange atmosphere here. So far we have always resisted in these lands hoping to return home one day. Now maybe there is no longer a home to go back to.
Willow is the only one who seems calm: when she discovered that the world had ended up in the flames she shrugged. "It was not a beautiful world" she merely said.
Dear Abigail, if you can hear my thoughts, right now I'm thinking about the great drawing of things: is there a reason behind your premature death? Is there a reason why I find myself in these lands of mystery? Has anyone wanted me to survive the end of the world in another world? Strange entities move beyond the veil of reality that we can see with our inadequate senses. Here, in the presence of the unlimited curve of existence, I feel a profound sense of smallness and misery. All my life seems to me little more than an illusion, inside me I feel already dead"
