For the last Decade, the Earth has been in constant Political and Religious turmoil.
To bring an end to these struggles, the political powers that be, relinquished absolute power and authority to a consortium of the brightest scientists and minds on our planet, called the Rational Earth Protectorate.

...The traditional day the Mayan Calendar ends.
...The day the Earth received its first intelligent signal from inside our own system.
...The day that marked the beginning of a new era for the Human Race.
The newly formed, multi-national, Rational Earth Protectorate accelerated the commissioning of our planets first, manned, inner-system starship.
The Orion Fortuna was that starship.
The Fortuna was Earths most advanced ship, carrying some of our best scientists, on a three-month mission to investigate the source of the signals emanating from near Europa.
What The Fortuna found was, an ancient device, a sphere, made of ice, light and stone. It was a device emitting a strong signal that contained a repeating warning...
“Escape Transmission: Earth is no longer safe. Leave at once.â€
That message was repeated over and over, as it was beamed from The Fortuna back to Mission Control.
As scientists were scrambling to figure out what this device was, the message suddenly stopped, and all traces of the signal and The Orion Fortuna were lost.
This is the story of the end and the beginning.
