Synopsis

It is the year 2020, you are a cargo transport pilot for the Interstellar Space Trading Corps (ISTC) and you are taking a long needed vacation from your job. You’re heading back home, to Earth. It’ll take 2 days to get there on your own personal shuttle. It’s not much of a ship, but it’ll get you places faster than the colonial transport cruisers will. You are on your ship all alone, and you left from your last assigned docking station yesterday.

While on route to Earth, your sensors detect an anomaly of space in a nearby star system. After looking at the readouts, you decide to check it out. So, you drop out of hyperspace and change your course for the disruption. As you approach it, you can see the anomaly as a small green cloud floating in space about 200,000km in front of you. A bright light emanates from the center of the cloud, almost like a nebula would look, as the hue of the green clouds around it constantly change in brightness.

Your ship’s sensors cannot come up with any kind of explanation as to what that thing is. As you move your ship in closer to get a better scan, the rift suddenly emits a bright flash of light. All of your controls and instruments go haywire and the engine system is damaged. Your small ship is thrown out of control and is being pulled into the gravity well of a nearby planet. You try to recover stability but it’s useless. There’s nothing you can do but wait until you impact on the surface. You soon enter the atmosphere of the planet and brace yourself for an impact.

It was only a matter of minutes until your ship slammed into the ground. But the impact wasn’t all that intense. You didn’t even get any cuts. As you peer out your window, you can see a vast valley of snow. You check your sensors to determine what planet you are on. Damaged by the impact, this task takes forever. Finally, after a few minutes, the computer tells you that you are on the planet Arguillius VI (six), the 6th planet in the Alterian system. You think to yourself for a minute, this planet hasn’t been inhabited by any life since 2017, due to the decreasing temperatures that fell upon the atmosphere after a nearby star exploded. The colonists that lived here had to evacuate and the planet was turned to a big ball of snow and ice. You’ve heard rumours through the ISTC that some colonists stayed on Arguillius VI. But you never believed them. Suddenly, you start to hope that they are true.....
