Act I Prologue
Mobius.
That is the name this planet will be called for the rest of its life cycle.
This planet is special. For it is one of the few remaining planets in our system to support life.
I was born here, I feel it calling to me like no other planet had ever done.
The energies pulse through me as if it were my own blood.
It is soothing and it brings a calm about me.
But this is no time for reminiscing about a life that could have been.
For I am here for a reason.
To save lives.

Welcome Back Forager One.
"Ugh… how long was I out?"
Approximately Three Months Seven Days and Five Hours, Forager One.
"Damn, Cryo sure does make that go by fast."
Indeed, shall I proceed with Phase Two, Forager One?
"Yes, and I want a full status report. Did we make it to the target?"
Yes Forager One…
…
We arrived at the target location approximately one hour ago, no signs of any movement hostile or otherwise. The planet below matches records from years ago and appears to have changed little.
However, upon further examination of geographical scans. It appears there is or was a massive conflict here recently. It seems some army of robotic sorts was in combat in many regions of the planet. The odd part comes next, there were obviously two forces at work here but there are no evidence of casualties of the other side, only robot parts and mechanical debris across the war torn landscape.
"Many regions? What about the rest of the planet?"
Mostly unmapped forest and vegetation, Forager One.
"Well then I guess we have our work cut out then? Set course for a landing zone clear from any recent warzones."
Yes Forager One, Setting course for LZ.
…
…
We will reach the surface in approximately Twenty Minutes, please buckle up for entry into the planets atmosphere.
"Heh, yeah. Don't want a repeat of last time. Where is my gear located?"
In the main cargo hatch by the door, Forager One.
"I already told you Rose, just call me by name when we are out on mission, no need to be so formal."
Very well then, shall I prepare the oxygen tanks just in case?
"Yes and make sure you get the correct gas this time please?"
Of course Miles.
