Prologue
We called it the Traveller…
…not a very original name, granted, but it's better than Steve's suggestion of "Snowball." Or "Big Bath Bomb from Mars", or just "The Space Ball".
'Ahem'
And its arrival changed our lives forever.
Great Cities were built on Mars and Venus, Mercury became a Garden World.
Although not Uranus. No one went near Uranus.
Human Lifespan tripled, it was a time of Miracles
We stared out into the galaxy and knew it was out DESTINY (Ha! See what I did there? ) to walk in the light of other stars.
But the Traveller had an Enemy.
A Darkness-
-No, not popular rock band 'The Darkness' from the early 21st century. Although that would be pretty funny. Haha, Justin Hawkins…
Sorry where was I? Oh, right!
A general sort of Darkness that had hunted the Traveller for eons across the black gulfs of space, which isn't really that black when you look at it, but oh well…
Centuries after our Golden Age had started, this Darkness found us.
Not sure how.
Goggle maps maybe?
And that was the end of everything.
But it was also a Beginning…
So, really not an end.
God this is confusing…
