LET THE GAME BEGIN
----------------------------------------------
It is 12010 AD, though this calendar is no longer used. at this time the human race has discovered and refined FTL travel technology to the point that majority of the human populace has access to a ship capable of FTL. currently the human race has discovered that they are the only sentient race in the milky way galaxy. also do to their exploration the human race has lost the location to earth and now is becoming infertile. as of now the galaxy is separated into three scions, the Centaurus, the Deltan Federation, and Star Fold Confederacy (SFC). each Scion governs several thousand star systems each, known as core space. corporations have laid claim to some of the space outside of the Scions.
the 12 of you are a group of miners on the rim system A025-D, on the 2nd planet from the star. the planet is mars like, thin oxygen atmosphere, 0.4 G (0.4 times earth gravity). the 12 you where assembled about 3 months ago by Leon, the Director of Planetary affairs, of corporation Stratos Administrative Technologies (S.A.T.). to mine a rich deposit of Rutile. the reason why SAT contracted out was because they could not spare any of their current member because they are at war with another corp Axis Inc. do to this war, your mine is a hidden mine, and all comunication must be kept to a minimum or Axis Inc might discover the unprotected mine.
Today Leon is here to do his monthly check up on the progress of the mine. 20 minuets after his arrival, there came two explosions one from the main control room, the other destroyed the communications relay. the explosion in the main console room caused the whole mine to shutdown. the 12 of you come to investigate the control room, to find that the main console was what exploded. the chard remains of Leon lay 20 feet from said console. gman391 investigated the console and finds that the explosion was indicative of a LMK 2 shrapnel mine, and clearly not an accident, but sabotage. some one killed Leon, but who?
