█ ▒ Somewhere deep in space, hidden in the infinity of the ▒ █
█ ▓ Universe, there is a treasure trove just waiting to be ▓ █
█ █ opened by the eager hands of a daring explorer. A mere █ █
█ █ asteroid, a piece of rock, a speck of dust lost in the █ █
█ █ boundless void, yet priceless to humanity. For under its █ █
█ █ frozen crust there are rich veins of the most precious █ █
█ █ substance known to man ľ hubbardium. This ôliquid metalö █ █
█ █ is a key ingredient in the fuel of interstellar ships, █ █
█ █ thus enabling mankind to spread across the Universe from █ █
█ █ its base on Earth. Its importance is the reason why it is █ █
█ █ monopolized by the State Business Federation, a huge █ █
█ █ multinational corporation which is given control over █ █
█ █ every single step in production of hubbardium, from █ █
█ █ exploration to distribution. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ And so, when this asteroid, subsequently named Alpha Prime █ █
█ █ and its fabulous riches were discovered, the Corporation █ █
█ █ quickly came, and a huge, sprawling base was promptly █ █
█ █ built on its surface as the giant mining machines begun █ █
█ █ its work. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ But all was not well on Alpha Prime. While its hubbardium █ █
█ █ veins might be plentiful, some of them were also █ █
█ █ dangerous. They slowly intoxicated the minds of human █ █
█ █ workers, and damaged the positron brains of the artificial █ █
█ █ ones, including the central computer. Conditions on the █ █
█ █ base became highly unstable and the Corporation finally █ █
█ █ decided to seal off the entire facility and leave. Only █ █
█ █ the most basic maintenance and security, including weapons █ █
█ █ systems, were left turned on. To prevent the base falling █ █
█ █ into ruin.... and to prevent illegal prospectors from █ █
█ █ entering and resuming the mining operation. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ But they came anyway. The lure of the unimaginable wealth █ █
█ █ of Alpha Prime was too strong. Moreover, some of these █ █
█ █ illegal visitors were naturally quite resistant to the █ █
█ █ effects of ôbadö hubbardium. So they arrived, they █ █
█ █ circumvented security protocols and partially resumed █ █
█ █ mining. Their use of hubbardium was rather different, █ █
█ █ though. They didnĺt want to produce fuel; they came to █ █
█ █ make hubbardium into a powerful drug, worth its weight in █ █
█ █ gold on the black market. If the operation went █ █
█ █ successfully, they would become multimillionaires. But █ █
█ █ they miscalculated. Alpha Prime hubbardium was apparently █ █
█ █ too strong and started to exert influence even over the █ █
█ █ hardened minds of the miners. There was something very, █ █
█ █ very weird about this asteroid. It didnĺt take long before █ █
█ █ they started to become desperate and called for help. One █ █
█ █ of those on the team, Warren, called his old friend, █ █
█ █ Arnold, a seasoned, hubbardium resistant explorer, and █ █
█ █ asked him to come and help them out of their dire █ █
█ █ condition. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ And even though YOU, Arnold, already quit some time ago, █ █
█ █ you were finally persuaded, less by the obvious █ █
█ █ desperation on Warrenĺs face than by appeals to consider █ █
█ █ your tight financial situation by Livia, your girlfriend. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ So now itĺs time to board your ship and head towards the █ █
█ ▓ unknown... ▓ █
