Floyd ] On the cliff 1 Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The Eastern Seabord went dark a few hours ago. You had lost radio Floyd | contact some time earlier, but Verdade was only convinced that it Floyd | wasn't a technical fault on your end when you stood on the cliffs and Floyd | saw the city lights go out, one by one, in crazy, flickering patterns. Floyd | They attacked the urban areas first. There were reports from London. Floyd | Alien pod ships from behind the moon; Insectoid passengers. And then Floyd | the horrors. In the talks with the heads of state they attacked, Floyd | latching onto their necks and drinking everything, from childhood Floyd | dreams to nuclear codes. Europe went up in flame, and soon they had Floyd | crossed the Atlantic. Frantic news reports with less and less news and Floyd | more and more rumors. The last reports from Washington spoke of a Floyd | siege; Then silence. But you are relatively safe here, the irony not Floyd | lost on anyone. This station was set up to search the sky for alien Floyd | signals. Far away from the cities. This has saved you, so far. And now Floyd | there's not much to do, really; You went out to feed the sheep. Floyd | Mundane tasks to keep you sane. It hasn't really worked.

Everything is dark; no lights in the cities for quite Floyd | some time. Meadows stretch around you. A path you trod out yourself in Floyd | the past months leads back south, to the crossroad. To the north, on Floyd | the clifftop, sits your shack. Floyd | Floyd | Blasky is grazing here happily. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Landing Zone 60 Floyd | Floyd | > SHOOT BLIP Floyd | Floyd | With squinted eyes you aim against the glaring light of the spaceship, Floyd | and fire. There is a second of the rocket in flight, a snapshot, a Floyd | still life : Verdade's corpse, the helipad lit up by the spaceship, Floyd | the rocket and it's trail of smoke. Then the spaceship explodes in a Floyd | blue fireball, above the sea. You vaguely glimpse green, humanoid Floyd | shapes, burning, falling into the sea. And as the heat wave knocks you Floyd | down and you roar with pain, you have sudden, last moment of clarity Floyd | in what will be decades of slavery. With a shuddering hand you touch Floyd | the thing on your neck. The parasite. And then it takes control again. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | *** You doomed humanity. *** Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, QUIT or UNDO the last Floyd | command? Floyd | > | ||
