Xander Harris Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Well, I've had some cool ideas for stories and novels lately... I need some creative writing practice to get me jumpstarted. Therefore, I've decided to try my hand at making an rpg here again... Qualifications: You must have posted in an adventure thread here before. You must have decent spelling and grammer. You must be older than 14 Story: Since the dawn of time, humanity has warred within itself. Humans continued to more effective ways of killing other humans. In the year 2008, someone finally got it right. The human race was obliterated in nuclear fire, and life can no longer exist on terra firma. Colonists on the moon watched the events of the Third World War unfold with dread. The colony was not yet self-sufficient, and depended upon the earth for vital food and medicine. They have small hydroponics gardens to provide some food, and machines that create oxygen from minerals found in moon rocks. Without support from Earth, perhaps half the colonists could be supported for a few more years before resources ran out. The chief technocrats struggle to try and find ways to create enough food, water and medicine to sustain the colonists, but in the meantime the people are growing hungry. Tensions are high. Riots break out in the streets of the Lunar colony. Some people advocate the elimination of others in order to increase their own chance for survival. There is one hope, the Technocrats tell the people: Project Neolith. An experimental spacecraft capable of travelling through hyperspace. If an inhabitable world could be found by the crew of this small vessel, perhaps the last remnants of the human race could be relocated there. There's only one problem: The vessel isn't finished yet. Some think that those working on the Neolith Project have humanities best interests at heart. Others think the Technocrats intend to steal the spacecraft and save themselves, leaving the rest of their fellow humans to die. Some have that plan themselves. Still others think the Project is a waste of time, and that the resources could be better spent otherwise. What are the Technocrats truly planning to do with the Project that so many resources have been allocated to? Meanwhile, strange, hostile alien beings known only as The Triocs, have arrived in the Sol system to investigate the cataclysm that destroyed the Earth... so that they can recreate their own doomsday weapon! And they have just discovered the Luna colony....
