 For non-[[Android]] characters, the Anachrononaut quest has substantial rewards, but is dangerous even for players with a full set of ascension gear. On the left side of the home level is the Last Bastion, which includes two supply rooms filled with free future tech (including lightsabers), as well as a guaranteed deli (filled with protein pills and other prepared food) and a well-stocked bookstore. On the right side of the home level is the downstairs, which will spawn hoards of mind flayers and other dangerous horrors that will try to home in on your Quest leader - Sara, the Last Oracle - and try to kill her. It is entirely possible for these monsters to overwhelm the Last Bastion and kill Sara before you can trigger the quest, making it impossible to get your Quest artifact, the Annulus. Though the Annulus is not necessary to complete the game, it is necessary for a full-scoring ascension. For [[Android]] characters, the Quest leader is already dead, and nothing at all prohibits you from making your descent towards the Annulus. However, the Last Bastion has been overrun, and the chests with free future tech items will have fewer items to offer you.
-The difficulty of the Quest will be dramatically increased for Anachrononauts with [[Telepathy]], as these levels contain large numbers of non-genocidable mind flayers who can find and damage you via your latent telepathy. [[Incantifier]] Anachrononauts in particular should hold off on trying to the quest until they have huge amounts of health or damage reduction to withstand the mental assault.

 If you are strong enough to get the Annulus, it is a silver chakram that can be transformed into several different forms, including that of a double-bladed lightsaber that (unlike most double-bladed lightsabers) can be wielded with one hand. The Annulus can be invoked for infinite recharging and can be used effectively for the rest of the game, especially if enchanted to +7. The Annulus must be applied twice to ignite and then activate its double-bladed form, and special care must be taken to re-ignite it if an enemy spellcaster extinguishes it using a spell of darkness.

 The Anachrononaut role draws inspiration from a number of different fantasy and sci-fi franchises, including Terminator, Star Wars, Star Trek, Underworld, and Dungeons and Dragons (most notably the classic D&D adventure ''[[Wikipedia:Expedition to the Barrier Peaks|Expedition to the Barrier Peaks]]'').  The [[Firearm]]s module for [[SLASH'EM]] provided a lot of the foundational code for the future tech.

 The highest priority for Anachrononauts in the early game is to obtain a [[tinning kit]] or other food sources, if they are not provided with one in their starting equipment. Because Anachrononauts cannot pray, it is easy to starve in the dungeon once protein pills run out. [[Sokoban]] typically solves this problem in the short term by providing a huge amount of food rations and other types of prepared food essential for Anachrononauts. Given the volume and weight of food rations, stashing food rations at the initial Sokoban level or in other strategic locations (like a magic chest) may be advisable, especially if the final Sokoban level does not contain a bag of holding.
-A tinning kit is of lesser value to an [[Incantifier (dNetHack starting race)|Incantifier]] or [[Android]] Anachrononaut, but still valuable for producing potions of blood from [[lizard]] corpses; these can be used like a [[potion of acid]] against petrification in the mid- and late game.
