- The pilot died on impact, but Ambassador Quarrg and his aid survived.
Now, nearly Eighty years on, having unravelled of the crashed ship of its secrets of shields, weaponry, and warp, the six greatest nations of the Earth, America, The European Union, India, China, Russia and Fenwick, each with its own undisclosed Mission Directives, are racing to launch their ships to that devastated world. The Ambassador had said, in broken pigeon Esperanto, their planet needed immediate assistance but only now is man able to be of any help. Is it too late? The aid had spoken of Bio domes and underground lairs before dying of her injuries and now only the Ambassador survives, his race lives for hundreds of our Earth years, but for how long until the powers that be make him an unwitting subject of the research project?
The body parts of the pilot they found advanced human medical science beyond all precedence; their ship was ripped apart by hungry military men searching for how to blow each other up quicker, and the aids death gave fresh meat towards the finding out the mysteries of their long life spans, powers of regeneration and conquering of cancer, but they need confirmation.
A week last Tuesday
Ambassador Quarrg has escaped! He must have smuggled himself onboard one of the ships in a last ditch attempt to contact any of his kind who might still be alive! Or was Quarrg sneaked on board by the kind people who abetted his escape? What story will he have to tell?
What, other than the International Space Station stands in the way of the people from the third rock from the sun from the one ten times its mass? Imagine what minerals, precious rocks and metals abide in its ground to be ripped out without consent by these maybe invaders. Or could Aphelion still defend herself? Is all potentially lost?
Do we ‘come in peace’? What will we find? And what are those darn Directives? Take me to your leader, or run and hide? Questions, questions, questions! So, are you brave enough to answer them; to take up the challenge and go on man’s greatest journey, to find the truth? But don’t forget, space is a dangerous place and not all will make it back alive; for you see, this game isn’t just about getting there and back first but about fulfilling your mission directives and coming back in one piece, or in at least as few pieces as possible. It’s about not leaving anyone behind, if they don’t want to be, and beginning a relationship with the Aphelions, if that’s what you really deserve! Or will there be consequences to mans actions needing reparations?- Choose your ship, fuel it up, pick you crew and stock your provisions.
- Disrupt your opponents!
- Go back for Repairs, Re-crew, or even for a whole new Ship!
- Hope you don’t catch Uranus Piles!
- And a whole lot more besides!
Houston, we have a problem!!!
Be seeing you…out there!
