Not a lot of story based squares...
You get the "Bus" flu, go back to the beginning.
The autodrive on your car "malfunctions" and you crash going 300+ mph, lose a turn.
You successfully break into Chawla Base, move ahead three spaces.
Your attempt to break into Chawla was unsuccesful, move back three spaces.
You're being audited! move back two spaces.
Ms. Durga is your attorney! move ahead five spaces and audit square is no longer in play.

"not me, but another dog that looks just like me." - it is now immediately the person to your left's turn.
"Science!" - if you are presently eating something, you must now put it down. if you absent mindedly take another bite before it is your turn again, lose one turn.
"I am a very curious girl" - look at all the cards in one person's hand yes, this assumes the game will have cards you hold in your hand
"brain ninjas" - steal a card fFrom anywhere else on the table. i suppose there should be some kind of limit here

maybe some locations on the board can be specific axon points, and there could be squares (or cards) that tell you to go to 123.456789 -123.456789 (no, I haven't looked that coord up yet, but I'm going to right now )

it doesnt exist.
allowable set is: ((-90, 90) , (180, -180))
but uhm, yes. not a bad idea. instead of just a long string of linear spaces you hop around, a nice thinking game of axons could get more interesting.

"Top Hats or Dice?" - Flip a coin, if it comes up heads (Top Hats) move to any square adjasent to the "Room Full of Argon", if it comes up tails (Dice) you may roll again.

I was gonna edit it, but I figured no one would notice . Even if you have 12.3456789 that just leads straight into the pacific. I made the same mistake as the flea, it seems.

You see a list of prepositions. You are stuck here until someone realizes he is a_pawn.
It's Friday! Move your pawn to the nearest picture on the website.
The SP likes your red balloons! Advance to the next balloon pic and jump up and down at the PM's show of love.
Lie through your teeth to save a Sleeping Princess. Go back five spaces, but draw a chance card.

I suppose this is a good time to mention this...
You know how when you play Clue or Trouble or what not? You know those little dohickys you move around the board? You know what those really are right?
Pawns.

...Ahhhh... I thought it was a not so subtle nod to the prep puzzle...
Actually, I was thinking we could have different themed peices, like Monopoly. There'd be the Bee, the car (for driving to the axons! A bit of a stretch, I know) the payphone, the red balloon...

"That dog won't hunt, Jan."
Use this card on a turn that you were supposed to loose... Take your turn as normal.

joined a band AND successfully infiltrated the base... move ahead 3
joined a band AND only successfully infiltrated the bass clef... should have got Eddie Van Halen to join your triumphant band!-back 3
ooo, how bout a game of operation, only with mutilated chickens? YES! We could call it, "PICKIN' UP CHICKS" (not meant to be offensive... it is a slogan for Krystal's burgers here in the south)

"Soon everybody will cut their chickens like this!"
All players with more cards then the player with the fewest cards in their hand must discard until they have the same number of cards... So that it's... You know... Fare.
"You are discharged for drunk and disorderly conduct!"
Player looses any "in game" status they have in play. (Military Rank, "Trusted", Paratroop, etc.) If the player is currently situated on a square or location the should not be without that status ("Room of Argon" for instance) they die and must start over from the beginning with no cards.
