NECROPOLIS

A Sirens Call

The Agoria was ascending from Titan, the shipping depot moon, to begin it's 400 year journey to MA-23991b. The Agoria was one of the largest Terra forming vessels known to man kind. It could hold up to 100000 passengers  and could travel at the speed of 100 times the speed of light due to the immense quantum reactor within it. The craft could sustain impacts of debris the size of mercury and had an ion cannon used for destroying asteroids and other large masses. The craft was easily twice the size of Manhatten.

The crew and passengers of the Agoria departed on April 7, 3017 and was making record time with their travel. It was now March 5, 3189 and they were nearly reaching their destination. The captain , Charles Johnson, came onto the intercom after all of the crew were awake. "I need John, Wendy, Isaac, and Tobias up to the bridge ASAP, " he said. Issac was stretching as he made his way up to the bridge. He was a militia agent sent to assure that all things would go as smoothly as possible. He was near the bridge so it did not take him long to reach it. "Hello, Isaac," the captain said. "Morning, sir" Isaac replied. "Isaac, I was just wondering if you could tell me what you think this is. I can't really tell and, well you are good with coms systems and radars, so I thought you could help me," Charles said. Isaac analyzed the small red blip on the radar. He knew the captain wasn't stupid he was just wanting a professional opinion. " The blip is a distress way point, but somethings wrong with it," he said. "What do you think it is?" the captain asked. " I don't know but I don't like it," Isaac replied. Isaac stayed up on the bridge to hear the captain's briefing about the uncharted planet. The captain also explained about the unknown distress signal. Issac helped him to explain that no one should go towards it in their shuttle.

Once the crew had been briefed all of the pre-selected members were transported to their shuttles. Each of them having a personal escorts,  in case of "emergencies".

Isaac entered his shuttle telling his escort, " stay out here I gotta check some thing, then you can come in." The man nodded. He was bulky but not fat. He had the physique of a football player. He had graying brown hair. Isaac input a code into the keypad beside the shuttle door, "I'll be right back," he told his escort. The escort only nodded.

A short while later Isaac returned carrying a small white bundle. The gourd asked no questions he only motioned his head towards the bundle. "This my friend is a top secret package," Isaac said, " certified personnel only." They entered the shuttle and, before long, all of the shuttles were launching into space, each of them traveling to the destination that would end them all.
