Prologue

For hundreds of years, Earth was believed to be the only planet with intelligent life on it. Then, in 1971, a jetliner headed from Miami to Bermuda mistakenly flew into the Bermuda Triangle and was catapulted into another dimension. The jetliner crash-landed in the side of a mountain on a strange planet. The planet they landed on was very similar to Earth with one difference; instead of Humans being the dominant life form, it seemed animals were. Immediately, the crew and passengers from the plane sought out food and shelter. While wandering through the woods trying to find some type of civilization, they came across a castle surrounded by a small village. Upon setting eyes on the strange-looking new arrivals, all the villagers ran into the castle and shut the doors behind them leaving the Earthly humans outside. A few minutes later, the King of the animals came out and had his guards bring the humans in. After a lengthy counsel, the humans were allowed to stay, but they were to inhabit the Northern Peninsula of planet Mobius. The King of the animals was kind enough to offer to help them get their aircraft out of the mountainside, transport them north to the Northern Peninsula and give them enough supplies to get their civilization started once they got there.
After roughly three years, the humans had setup a simple but effective city-state and had established trade routes with the Kingdom of Acorn and the neighboring areas. The humans had established schools, colleges, and a couple hospitals and had already trained several scientists. One of the scientists, Doctor Julian of the house of Kintobar, was the most promising of all the scientists. His inventions included the videophone which was installed between King Acorn's castle and the humans President, the light-speed communication system which was installed between all major cities, and the aircar transportation system; perhaps Julian's greatest invention. A pollution-free means of transportation for worldwide travel that proved to be most useful for trade between the humans and the native Mobians.
Unknown to the humans, Julian had invented weapons using a natural power source found on the planet; small green crystals that generated their own electricity. The general populace amongst the humans hailed Julian as their first Chief Science officer and thereafter established a formal government similar to the government on Earth. On the day that the government was put into full service, the King from Mobotropolis, the capital of the Western quadrant, came to the celebration with his highest advisors. At the ceremony, the King took Julian aside and congratulated him on his appointment of science officer and offered his assistance with anything he might need help with. Julian offered his help with anything they could need that fell within his realm of knowledge and expertise. After the celebration was done, the King and his advisors went back to Mobotropolis.
The King's first order of business was to establish an embassy with the humans so he could get periodic reports of their progress as a civilization. He rounded up his most loyal subjects and after carefully examining their political knowledge; he sent word to the humans to expect an emissary within the next day. The emissary would setup an embassy and thereafter report back to the King as needed about any developments that he should know about. The following morning, the emissary was sent to the humans and he set up the embassy with the help of the humans. By then, the humans were readying to attempt to send a team of men up in a spacecraft to try to locate Earth. All the environmental advisors were against the idea on the grounds that the pollution from the spacecraft would be extremely disruptive to the natural balance of the planet. None of the space advisors listened to the environmental advisors, and shortly after launched the spacecraft. The craft, which Julian and a team of his choosing had designed, made it into space without any trouble. Once in orbit around Mobius, they readied themselves for hypersleep, which was another product of Julian's extensive knowledge, and once in it, the craft unfolded a solar sail and drifted out of range of the radio that one of Julian's assistants had built.
After the spacecraft was sent on its mission, there followed a technological revolution, which Julian had predicted would follow the spacecraft. Under his guidance, they synthesized the materials that they had had on Earth and did not have on Mobius. Materials for building computers, cars, television sets, transistor radios, gadgets that did just about everything. Unknown to the humans, the more common of the items contained small mind-control devices that he used to his pleasure by manipulating the humans like puppets. Everyone got one of the television devices that Julian had designed, including the King's emissary. The emissary was so fascinated with the television device that he gave up his position as the King's royal emissary and became the first native Mobian on the human's government council. Once the King received word of his emissary's revocation of assigned duties, he terminated the trade routes with the humans and only maintained periodic contact with them.
For the next ten Mobian years, the two races lived in peace, despite Julian's attempts at starting a war between them. The humans reveled at the marvels of science that Julian created in his labs and the Mobians scoffed at them for relying so heavily on technology. The only technology that the native Mobians had in their possession was the videophone that had been delivered and installed for communication and a hub for the aircar transport system. Late into 3219 by the Mobian calendar, the King and Queen of Mobius became parents. Their child was named Sally and was born into being Princess and future Queen of Mobotropolis. After Sally's birth, the King decided to end the silence between the two races and reinstall an emissary. After carefully picking the Mobian to fill the position, an aircar was called for and the Mobian was flown to the human's territory. Shortly after sending the new emissary to the Eastern Quadrant, the King and the humans reestablished their trade routes. With the trade routes in place once again, the two civilizations grew to an unprecedented size and soon both races were setting up cities all over the continents. Soon, they each had a thriving country under their control; the Mobians governed by the benevolent King Acorn and the Northerners governed by the strict but fair President Jacobson.
All the time the humans were building their civilization on Mobius, Earth continued to search for the missing people well into the 1980s. No sign was ever found of them, though the Federal Aviation Administration demanded that all air traffic routes go around the Bermuda Triangle where the missing plane was last seen on radar. The next year, the government gave up on its search for the missing people and continued on as if the loss had never occurred. Of course, they gave a nice sum of money to the families of the missing people, but the families were always angry with the government for giving up on the search so soon.
On Mobius, the humans rebelled against the government they had on the grounds that they did not need a government watching over a peaceful people. At the urging of the President, the government was removed from power and so was he. The native Mobians continued trading what they could with the humans for whatever the humans deemed a fair trade. The King did sense some tensions mounting when he called to thank the humans for their latest trade of computers for a shipment of Chaos Emeralds. Through all this, Julian Kintobar kept to himself in his labs. The only thing that anyone knew about what he was doing in his labs was building some kind of alternative energy device that would replace the dangerously powerful Chaos Emeralds that they used. He also continued to build and design common things they had had back on Earth; standard telephone systems, faster and better computers… at one point, he even designed an Atomic power station, which never worked.
In Mobotropolis, the King and Queen were proud parents; their daughter, Princess Sally Alicia, had entered private schooling and was doing very good at it. Things were quiet all over the city; new things being discovered by the King's royal scientists, Princess Sally continued to impress her teachers, and the trade routes were looking like they might last. Everything was peaceful and quiet all over the planet.
