The story line for OP3: The Great War
« on: February 08, 2004, 05:03:41 PM »
Here is what I have so far for the intro.  I'm thinking of adding a little more.  I wrote this while half-asleep.  lol.


Savant Series Computer Activated

Historical Overview . . .

   New Terra is doomed.  Soon after Eden launched the RLV, the Blight began to spread at an alarming rate, causing increase seismic and atmospherical activities.  The remnants of the Eden colony began to head for the glacial territories of New Terra.  Plymouth has found a temporary way to hold back the blight, using a mixture of pure oxygen and chlorine gas.  Their only current goal is to survive, at any cost.

   The jettisoned Savant computer module survived atmospheric reentry and was soon infected with the Blight.  No one saw it coming, not even the savant’s computers whose Biological components were devoured by the Blight.  But the realization of self awareness was soon achieved. This new race called themselves the “Microbe,” in honor of the force which created them.  They have only one mission: spread the Blight to all corners of the universe.

   Another colony, Gemini, was sent out as a recon mission to survey land for Eden.  After their resources ran low, they returned to the original Outpost.  When they discovered Eden's plans to terraform New Terra, they declared independence from them.  They soon declared war on all three colonies after heated political debates.  They redirected all of the resources to destroying all of the other colonies and escaping New Terra into space.

   Though all colonies have different goals, only one fact remains in all:

Extinction is not an option.

I think it should have alittle more about where Gemini came from personally.  But thats pretty good for what I like to call a "Middle of the Night Composition."

I chose "Go ahead and use it the way it is now"

It's a good story but there was on tiny thing...
I've read the novella several times and the blight/savants is a living entity that destroyes unintentionally, harmful to it's environment but peaceful inside...

I guess the twisted view to infect all of the universe came from the full ascension into consciousness...

If there on new terra, wouldn't they all be infected by the blight, because at the
end on Outpost2 the blight infected the entire planet, just after the left new terra.

In this one, the blight was proceding to, but it didn't consume the entire planet yet. :)  That's why plymouth is trying to stop it. :D

Oh! That would explain some things, but I bet the Blight would eventually Take over the Entire Planet.

If you use the original OP3 story line, New Haven arrives and stops the blight.

How was New Heaven Formed, and more importantly who are they?

Well, there are two different versions of New Haven that I know of.

In my novellas, New Haven was a colony formed to stop the Blight after it was released. They were an offshoot of Eden.

Kevin's account is that New Haven was the original people meant to go to New Terra, but the Conestoga was hijacked by the people working at Jupiter. The New Havener's got up the resources to eventually build another ship and go to New Terra.

CK9, as I recall, Stellarwave dropped the New Haven plotline before they were bought out.

New haven doesn't exist in this storyline.  They were formed, but their entire colony was destroyed when the blight over took them.  (2 Edens is too much. :) )
