The hiss of depressurization fades, revealing the lush, untamed valley of Emerald Vale on Terra 2. you stands before the scorched remains of a hibernation pod, the only relic of a journey stolen by Phineas Welles. The notorious criminal, now hiding in his Interstellar Lab, left you here, miles from Earth, in a corporate-controlled system. The air is thick with alien flora, a stark contrast to the sterile cold of suspended animation. Welles remains at large, a ghost in the machine, while you faces a new world, unmoored from the past, standing alone in the heart of a colony that doesn't know they exist yet.
