Hello, I'm back! I was thinking of starting a new Sci-Fi rp that involves travelling to the edge of space to meet our makers, literally. I don't want to reveal much because I want this to be a surprise! But, here's a little snippet of the beginning of our story:
PROLOGUE
Ah, the age old question, the question that man seeks to answer in the heavens. But alas, the answer was under our feet all along.
Blackwater Cavern, Grand Canyon, Arizona
Darkness, dirt, stone and water. A faint light can be seen in the distant tunnels. A brush, the kind used to brush away the very layers of history, lies on the cold floor near a lamp and a few backpacks.
"Come over here, I think I found something!!"
"What is it?"
"Look, this symbol is our sun, and if we follow this line we get to another sun, their sun."
"What's this other glyph?"
"That is their solar system."
"The fourth planet has a circle around it. Is that where they're from?"
"Maybe. Hey, look at this other glyph, at the bottom."
"It's Sanskrit for sure. But I can't read anything. It's just a bunch of jumbled up heiroglyphs. Could they be part of a message?"
"No... they're coordinates."
Feraway Corporation Headquarters, Washington, D.C.
"I'm telling you, Adam, this isn't colonies on Mars anymore."
"Look, I know, but Eve, the company-"
"This is my company too. We've got something big here and I'm not gonna let the opportunity of a lifetime slip through my fingers."
"You know what? Okay, I'll approve Project Architect, but on one condition."
"What?"
"I get to make the trip to Xylanthia with you."
"Adam, that's 930 years. We need someone to stay back and run the compan-"
"I have people who will. But I'm not letting my own wife leave without me to go who knows where and possibly get herself killed!"
"Mister Fera-"
"What? Can't you see I'm in the middle of a conversation?"
"The engineers would like to let you know that the Cassiel is ready for take off."
Great. Round up the crew, I'm coming too..."
