Planet Hop

--STORY--

Our story starts 4.5 billion years ago on a planet called Earth. A single cell in a sea of hostility split into another cell, and then another, kick-starting the chain of life. First the slime in the ocean, then the first land mammals , plants, dinosaurs, humans, dolphins, rain forests, whales...

Fast-forward and the empty desolate worlds of space are now thriving with communities, cultures and peoples all originating from Earth. The Earth was inherited by the National Trust and allowed the room for the next story of life to unfold. All seemed good until...

Mega Cooperation, Essence, purchased The Earth from the National Trust. Why? Marketing. Their sales of their bottled water was down. What better way to one-up the competition than to have the one thing that can't be found anywhere else in the Universe, the building blocks of life. They quickly set up their bottling planet and began draining The Earth dry of its water, distributing it and selling it across the Deep-Space Systems. They meet almost no opposition until you and your brainy friend Alonza discover this.

You both blast off on a course to Horizon Outpost. The nearest Space Station with a Rapid-Link that serves Earth. Your craft runs out of fuel and you crashed on the near-by planet of Torred. You must find your way  to Earth before it's too late....
