Personal diary of High Regent Ch'rel of the Chozo Dominion
Stardate 2400.1

Our fuel supply nearly ran out, so we were forced to land on the nearest planet.
We had three billion colonists on the ark.
The planet could only bearably hold two billion without disrupting its fragile ecosystem.
Much as it saddens my heart, the remaining one billion colonists have been left on the colony ship, parked in permanent orbit of this world, which we call New Tallon.
Soon their fuel will run out and they will freeze to death in the cold of space...
An eternal reminder of the galaxy from whence we came.
Mercifully they have been left in cryogenic storage, so that they will never know what we have been forced to do to them.
May the new Tree of Life we have planted grow tall enough to reach and embrace them as they pass on into the next world.

Very possibly and probibly.
But we are also the leader of the insane EEEvil EEEmpire, where only the most insane leaders rise to power, so it seemed appropiate, that I post it.

Edit - Alarikf, it might be time to change the title of the thread.

So, do we get the robot and the annoying music from MOO2 to go with the name change?

[AMF]

Only if someone can dig up the old MOO2 files for me....

but, really, Zeta is not supposed to be a copy of MOO2...it's got it's *own* storyline...at least, it does in my head...even if we never get there...

Zeta Knights Beginnings (2-3) Stardate 2400.2

The first Scout ship, the powerful "Searcher" rised up on a plume of fire and smoke. It was much faster than the slow colony ship and it was armed with the newest weapon designs, much more powerful than the swords and bows that the police force was using.
It was stunning to see these beam weapons in use, disentigrating objects far away.
The technology had been known for a long time but there hadn't been any need to implement it until now.
But in space bows wouldn't be of much use, so the beam weapons where constructed and fitted to the scout ship.
This ship alone could burn the entire homeplanet to ashes, so the captain was carefully selected, still Knight Templar Ruatha felt some fear deep inside for what he had been involved in letting loose in the universe.
But as always, the Purpose and the Meaning came above all else.

The glow in sky started to fade as the "Searcher" immediatly headed for the nearest wormhole, what would it find on the other side? New territories to colonize? The Purpose? The Meaning? Aliens?
Soon the answer would come, but the months ahead until the wormhole jump, would be nervebristling anticipation to say the least.
