The cold, black, and speckled abyss called space. It is a vastly unexplored area of existence, just waiting to be discovered. Its secrets lay hidden. And in it, lies the Milky Way galaxy, and within that gigantic spiral of dust lays a universe. And in that universe, a solar system—cluttered with planets, a single star, and an asteroid belt. Each planet there was different; for example, two had rings around them. But of all the planets that fill the area, one hosts something rather surprising. Something so spectacular, something unique. A planet known as Earth contains various forms of carbon-based organic lifeforms. And they conquered the land, atmosphere, and bodies of water. Although, of course, various other lifeforms exist on select numbers of planets—unknown to that of the dominant species Homo sapiens. And somewhere out there, traveling at speeds comparable to a comet, an object is on a course to the blue-green planet.
Its origin is unknown. What is known is that it has somehow managed to travel through the great depths of space without being disturbed by interstellar patrol forces or others, such as the dreaded Vogons. The spacecraft has been traveling at impressive speeds-28.6 km/s. It is crafted of an unidentified metal, approximately 25.2 m. long in diameter. And it doesn't show signs of stopping. As the spacecraft approaches the Earth, its surface starts to heat up, slowly but surely. As it gets ever closer to its atmosphere, the craft starts to get blazing hot, the red metal becoming brighter with every second that passes as the oxygen fuels the heat even more. The spaceship's signals start to go haywire. But its passenger doesn't seem to care or notice even.
To the point of view for the lucky few who were able to spot it, the crashing spacecraft was bracing for impact upon the hard and cold ground. It almost seemed like a comet passing by-very dangerously passing by. And instead of a blue streak, it had one of bright red-orange. The impact was then made; the bodies of rock formations crushed and scattered throughout the air along with dust, and trees were destroyed in an instant. Upon landing, the spacecraft's surface was still hot, cooling very little. And the craft was mangled. Scraps of metal were twisted and pulled apart as a result of such force. Inside the craft, however, lied a cryochamber, already in stasis and somehow completely untouched. The craft seemed to be able to protect the cryochamber very well. And in that chamber lied a form of alien life. However, this was no friendly E.T. or Wookie. Nor did it seem to be aware of its intents. It's more animalistic in behavior. The organism appears to be in the form of a pilot from another alien race from a faraway planet. But something seemed off about it… This extraterrestrial appeared to have imitated the pilot. It seems to have perfectly took its shape, inside and out. Although this extraterrestrial appears to be normal, what imitated it was not. It was a force to be reckoned with. A parasite of sorts. One that can overtake a whole planet filled with life when circumstances deem necessary. But it doesn't seem to be active. It appears to be in a dormant state.
The area where the craft has landed was marked by a gargantuan mountain, topped with a snow cap. There are multiple entrances to caves systems inside of it. And a couple of miles away from it, lays a city and few towns. All filled with human beings. The civilians that lived there have dubbed the mountain and its region "Mt. Ebott." But the people that lived there had no clue as to what lied in wait for the next century and plus. The year…was 1982… And its reign will soon start.
Author's note: I don't know if this is something I want to truly invest in or not. It all started off as a thought/idea. I may continue it if people like it and/or I feel as though I should. But keep in mind that I'll likely be busy with school and such, so I might not update on an organized schedule should I continue. I hope you've liked it so far though.
