STORY
Jump to Alpha Boötis I

Twenty-five years after her father’s interstellar exploration mission suddenly vanished from sight after passing Pluto, Captain Nalanie Kuhlmann and her crew are nearing Neptune’s orbit.

Their mission is to venture beyond the edge of the outer solar system and activate humanity’s crowning technological achievement: the hyperdrive engine of their shiny new USS Neon.

As they near the end of their 33 month cruise through the solar system, they are ambushed viciously by the double-crossing Dr. Goldwin’s minions.

Surprised and outnumbered a thousand to one by the swarm of killer robots, our heroes have no recourse but to attempt an emergency hyperdrive jump. As the ship drifts out of conventional space-time and into an hyperspace bubble, the world as they know it fades around them.

Will they make it?
What awaits them in the Arcturus system?
Will they ever see the Earth again?

Jump to Alpha Boötis II

After a harrowing trip through the absolute void of hyperspace and the throes of uncertainty, the crew of the USS Neon reached the Arcturus system… but something feels off.

The Sun isn’t where it should be, and neither are all of the other stars… and why is the nearby system of Xi Boötis lighting up the ship’s sensors like a lighthouse through a moonless night?

Voidcaptain Harakoa and Navigator Frak finally figure out this enigma, and tell the crew some disheartening news. They did indeed reach Alpha Boötis, but they also travelled more than twenty thousand years into the future!
Oh, and that massive signal eruption from Xi Boötis is of human origin. They didn’t expect finding a hospitable planet would be that easy.

What adventures awaits them in this unknown future world? Stay tuned for the next episode!
