Long long ago...in a distant galaxy, on a distant
dying planet, the last of the guardians prepare their
starship for its final journey. All of the libraries,
records and knowledge have been stored aboard the
vessel, along with the very best of their cryogenically
preserved race.
The planet`s final end draws near as the last, most
vital piece of equipment is loaded aboard, activated,
and the hatchway closed. The ULTIMATE evolution
ALIEN 8 cybot whirrs into artificial cybernetic
rush of intelligence.
All hatchways are sealed, as the starship prepares for
its long uninterrupted journey into the inky void
of space.
THE JOURNEY
Aeons pass and still the ALIEN 8 unit is still functioning
perfectly, gliding swiftly and silently around on
multi-sealed-thermotion bearings in waxolight
shrouds. The very pinnacle of robotic development
from a now long dead planet, on its immense task of
keeping the cryogenically immersed cryonaughts
activated by preserving and maintaining their life
support systems and waiting...
The long journey is near completion as the central
computer alerts you to the nearing of the predestined
solar system. The dust of aeons liees heavy on
aging data banks of the central computing core,
tired from centuries of repetitive computing and
recomputing, at last activating the final sequential
landing operations.
The craft begins its final slowing sequence several
hundred light years from the destined planet and as,
almost immediately the starship slows to sub-hyper-
warp speeds, is open to attack.
All the starship main defence systems have remained
unactivated, as the reverse polarity negative-ion
thrusters battle and strain to halt the enormous bulk
of the ship.
The main computer reports Alien penetration in
almost all areas of the ship and all life support
systems have become damaged and deactivated. All
cryogenic systems must be reactivated before autophase
thrusting systems manoeuvre the ship into its
semi-cycle planetary orbit, at 0 light years from
the planet.
Your programming insists that you complete the
mission and restore all cryogenic life support
systems to operation.
