More than three centuries ago the V.E.In. society, well known corp of the

sector, built more than 10000 space stations in order to refuel their cargos.

They unexpectedly closed all activities some five years ago. Most of the

stations were demolished or looted, while a few others were saved and

sold for a few hundreds credits to people who wanted to live isolated,

at the very edge of the system.

We were desperate, running for our lives as authorities cracked down on the

New Hope Project, considered "extremist". We found a shadowy figure that was

willing to sell us a ship for only 4000 credits. A success, isn't it?

We bought it, only to discover it was the Galactic ReFueling Station CRFS

x3432. The systems were crumbling, vital support was barely sufficient

for two people and the navigation system was corrupted, but

the engines still worked.

We quickly patched up the strict necessary and drew a route toward the Base.

That single acceleration burned all the remaining fuel but we didn't care:

we were headed toward the future of mankind!

We renamed the ship according to the instructions that were given:

it is now the Quantum Archive, one of the components of the Knowledge Core

of the New Society.

We prepared to go and take a cryo-nap for a pair of centuries but as soon

as we entered the boxes something happened.

We heard a noise similar to an inhuman scream.

Lights flickered.

I tried to stop the ship,

but the burn was done.

We are on the NH17 - Quantum Archive, drifting in space,

headed (probably) toward the Great Project.
