PLANET ABSCONSUM
OMEGA 55 SYSTEM

PROLOGUE:

The years of silence the alien ruins had received were suddenly interrupted by sound of a door opening. Several figures walked in, behind them a bright light from their ship. They were all wearing space suits, almost completely pitch black and identical to one another. A small symbol with a blue star was printed into each suit's arm, and the face of the suit completely concealed its wearer's identity using one-way glass. While the outside of the ruins had no atmosphere, in here there was a low concentration of inert gases, most likely used by the builders of these ruins. The figures split up into pairs and spoke to one another through communicators as they traveled deeper into the ruins.

Some rooms were only around 3 meters high, while others went up to 10 meters. None of the advanced technology scattered through these rooms were active, apart from life support. Forms of blue and brown crawled around on the walls, and were promptly shot down by the newcomers. As the hours passed, the newcomers took what they could to their ship and set markers up for the next group's arrival. The doors were shut once more, and the newcomers left the planet with their precious cargo in tow. The ruins fell silent once again.
