ok, this is my first attempt at making a novella, so bear with me:
Zero series computer activated, begin historical overview:
100 years after leaving New Terra, humans have sucessfuly inhabited another planet, which they named "Terrus Nova". 75 years after colonizing, the colonists started a new starship program to go to another sutable world in another star system. After a sucsessful launch, the explorers were on their way. On their way to the new system, they studied the nearby planets. After they finished their reaserch, they went into deep stasis and were awoken 20 years later as they entered the new system.
Suddenly, the ship was struck by a meteor, damaging their engines, and sending them out of control. They wrestled the controls and were able to crashland on a freezing planet in the far reaches of the star system. The ship's computers found that this planet was remarkabaly similar to a planet in the databases called "New Terra", which the humans had left years ago, but they left no history of "New Terra" in the Archives.
They salvaged the pheonix module, which turned out to have only minor damages, and began to make a temporary colony to survive.
Meanwhile we Zero computers picked up odd electrical signals that seem to be mechanical, not human, coming from the mountains to the NorthWest. The colonists are too busy to examine our readings, which may be important to the survival of our colony...
Historical overview ended due to an electrical disturbance NorthWest of our location. The readings we recived earlier are now stronger...
We are in danger...
