GAME NOTES



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 didnt 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...
