Currently working on this project, the Rescue of Talos.
The story is kinda 7Bullets (http://www.rednemesis.beyondunreal.com) meets 2001: A Space odessy. The main characters are James Fenix, a UMS Marine sent in to retrieve the second character, TALOS, an AI Construct that runs Outpost Zeta on Cerberus IV. (Think the non-insane HAL 9000)
During the Human-Skaarj wars 10 years ago, Outpost Zeta was lost. It has since been left to decay, but recently, a Distress Signal was recieved from TALOS, the AI supercomputer that ran the base. TALOS alerted UMS Forces that its systems were being hacked into by a Skaarj war party that had arrived to scavenge the ruins. Previously, UMS had just left Zeta to rot. Protocol dictated that UMS Forces removed all AI, and so TALOS was assumed destroyed when the escape ship from Cerberus, commanded by H. Micheals, was destroyed by Skaarj Torpedoes. Skaarj forces were welcomed to scavenge the ruins and take the outdated and discontinued equipment lines. But with the discovery that TALOS still remained, UMS Command became alert. If TALOS was still active and able to send a distress beacon, then it clearly must have still had access to UMS Networks for the last 10 years. Missile access codes, colony locations, encrypted comm passwords, Everything.
Playing as James Micheals, you must navigate Outpost Zeta, from the derilect battlefields where the human forces attempted to hold off the Skaarj siege to the well-maintained inner areas, maintained by TALOS's Automata.
Havin fun making this pack so far... and the HAL theme with TALOS and its Automata :P
