(Basic Pre-Story Information)

Earth.

Rendered uninhabitable by humanitys own wastefulness, it was only by the lucky stroke of God did the populace of this greyish-blue rock were able to escape via a interstellar spacecraft known only as the "Ark". Given its name by the popular Biblical tale, this spacecraft estimated to be the size of 5 moons would hold an entire 9.5 billion humans. Its set course... a planet known only as "Titania", a planet in the habital zone of its star in the Informata-69X sytem. Traveling at light-speed using a process known as Metallic Quantum Acceleration, it would reach this planet in approximently 22 years.

Unknown to the humans, this planet held life very similar to themselfs, looking as if humanity had bred with earth animals. Known simply as "Mamono", these creatures lived in Medieval-type societys similar to pre-colonial Europe. Using what some would call magic, these civilizations thrived in their enviroment.

But... how succesful would they be against technology many millenia superior to themselfs? Could prehaps magic overthow thousands of years of human advancment? Or... would they be wiped out by the onslaught of plasma and electricity?

You are a Human colonist aboard the Ark. For all of your life, you have wished to see a place other than this metalic box.

Your lucky day as just arrived. As part of an elite team of combat-ready, Diplomacy trained individuals know as "Team Columbus". Your have a a very simple mission that will play a major role in humanitys survival, and that mission is to scout the entire planet from top to bottom. Equiped with advanced scanners much more powerful than could ever be safely placed on a craft, you and your team are sent down to the planet in pods containing food, water, and building supplys.

A loud release of pressurized gas can be herd as your pod opens up. Besides the chirping of birds, you heavy breathing beneath your mask is all you can hear. Your teams other pods seemed to have already been abandoned. Scanning the atmosphere, it returns as [Human Safe], allowing you to take off your protective suit. The planet looks almost like a direct copy of earth, save for far more wilderness and less pollution. Packing your items, placing 9VT-Pistol in a holster, and with scanner in hand, you set off.

After scanning just about every item or being you can find, it seems that this place is a near-direct copy of a enviroment-utopia earth. After 2 more hours of scanning, you come across a enourmous forest. Excited to see such a wonderful sight, and bored of plains an moutains, you venture deep into the forest... welcoming the unknown.

You grow tired after walking so long. Night draws near, and you decide to set up camp in a small open area near a river. Placing a MicroCamp Survival Pack, it constructs itself from the stored nano bots and gives your a place to sleep in a matter of seconds. After eating a MRE, you equip your EnviroFilter Mask for precaution, and drift off into a deep sleep.

You are jolted awake by a slight sound seemingly coming from the trees above you. Grabbing your Plasma Pistol, walk slowly out of your tent. Your only source of light being the fire and blue glow of the pistol, your continue to hear sounds from directly behind you, no matter where you face.

"Who is there!" you yell.

"I am armed and do not fear discharging my weapon!" you yell once more.

(ZOOM)

Without a chance to even see what is happening,you are suddenly turned and pinned on your back by what looks to be a human crossed with some type of mantis. You aim your pistol, but it is knocked away by her arms.

"I do not reconize you." she murmurs. "You dont resemble any type of Mamono I know of...".

Pinned on your back by a creature much stronger than you, your options are limited. Force has been tried and it has failed, so that only leaves Diplomacy. But... what do you say? What can you say?

What do you do...?
