Game description:
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 hubbardium. This
liquid metal 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 bad hubbardium. So they arrived, they
circumvented security protocols and partially resumed mining.
Their use of hubbardium was rather different, though. They didnt 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 didn't 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 Warrens face than by
appeals to consider your tight financial situation by Livia, your girlfriend.
So now its time to board your ship and head towards the unknown...
