At long last! A new entry into the LitO Universe!
The story of the Alexander. First battle. First defeat. How it was lost. Why it has returned.
Transcript:
Construction of the Alexander had reached 90 percent
There were 527 human crew members and 1000 android crew
The enemy had initiated an attack on a nearby planetary settlement
The alexander though incomplete was sent to protect the hundreds of thousands of human lives
The enemy ship had far superior weapons. A weapon projected an unknown energy field through our shields
The human beings screamed as their blood boiled through their flesh
The Alexander was powerless to protect the human lives
So many dead
So many dead
So many dead
The energy weapon was turned against the settlement as well
The Alexander attempted to block
There was no effect
Life signs on the planet faded from our sensors
The android crew of the Alexander initiated a ramming course
However, the damage to our engines from the battle made us too slow and the enemy ship initiated its extended space drive
We were alone
The mission of the Alexander is to protect human life
But we had failed
Into the Shadow Spiral sector we retreated. We wandered
Alone
We were faulty
14 months later as we drifted to the edges of the Shadow Spiral sector
We heard the cries for help of humanity
We know we are faulty
But our mission is all that we are
We have returned
We are the Alexander
We are here to help you
The mission of the Alexander is to protect human life
We must not fail
