Star Runner II

Delirium “StarRunner II” - Release 1.1 Copyright © 1994-1995 by Tuan Huynh All Rights Reserved Worldwide Introduction In a far away galaxy orbiting the star Sol, mankind was losing its last battle. Amidst destruction and desolation, a few survivors among the human resistance decided to build humanoids to store their own strands of human genetic code in them. In the eventuality that all human beings were annihilated, these humanoids were programmed to wake up after a thousand years, start replicating the genetic codes and turn into new human beings. For their protection, humanoids were placed on unstable planets. Removing the humanoids from a planet was bound to break the planet's local space-time continuum and throw the planet's inhabitants into hyperspace where they would most likely perish. Unfortunately, one sudden evening, a last attack against human kind put a final end to its existence before the plan could be completed in its entirety... Thousands of years later, long after the humans lost the war, somewhere in a dark corner of a galaxy orbiting a dying star, a humanoid neural circuit suddenly booted up... Frozen grounds, barren rocks and icy winds were all its rusty sensors registered in the dim glow of Sol. The humanoid paused for a moment, beeped and started its regeneration sequence... At the same time, not too far away from there, a border patrol ship finished locating the humanoid's energy signature source and was about to alert its central command. Hours later, fleets of attack ships were dispatched to seek out and annihilate every single surviving humanoid. But somewhere on the fringe of a black hole, a lone ship slowly drifting in the solar winds of Sol intercepted the dreaded order. Lost and defenseless in enemy territory, there was little hope that the humanoids would survive any kind of hostility... The StarRunner powered up its engines... Weapon systems slowly came back online after years of inactivity... Course was set for the outer ring of Sol, but in a dark and frozen galaxy now long forgotten, time was already running out...
