The Wreck of HR 9657
Dungeon Level: 1(OOC: This is a Level 1 dungeon meant for more balanced characters. Combat is slightly de-emphasized. Replace the Spirit and Magic stats with Tech and Knowledge. Notable fetishes are tentacles, impregnation, and plants.)
Desired Posting Speed: My posting speed is fairly variable, but will be no less than once every other day, and some days I can make several in one day.
Desired Post Length: One or two paragraphs, the more you give me the more I can give back.
The year is 1253 A.E.(3748 A.D.). An age of exploration and development. Very few humans have no augmentations, either biological or mechanical. As a whole, humanity has established nothing smaller than a colony on every habitable planet found within 100 light years and many of them 500 away. Every year, more research and scouting ships fly into unknown space, searching for more planets, and trying to answer the ancient question. Are we alone in the universe? The answer isn't promising. Many lifeforms have been found, from bacteria, to plants, even simple animals. Unfortunately, none had anything resembling sapience.
Two months ago. The Blue Albatross reported that it found something. It had traveled a long way outside of mapped and patrolled space to make such a discovery. People were overjoyed. This was great news for the Iris Corporation, already a leader in scientific research; being the first to make contact with an intelligent species would do wonders.
Two weeks ago all contact was lost. The Albatross fell completely off the radar outside of explored space. While this was hardly a rare occurrence, as the days continued passing, people began to get worried.
Yesterday, the Iris Corporation began publicly sending offers to any with the skill and willingness to find their ship and retrieve it's data logs.
Today, a video screen flashes on. A soft voice asks. "Accept incoming call?"
(This thread is open for anyone interested right now.)
