Sahara: Is this is city of Aurora? (F)
Hannah: Yeah....doubt anyone survived though.....
Larry: How long do our battery powered coats last? (M)

Looks like someone reversed the terraforming process

Head to the nearest power plant. Attempt to restore power.

The Power stations seem to be underground, and individual sections of planet individually heated
Hannah: The lever's been broken off.
Steven: Hotwire it or something
Hannah: This planet has been dark for twenty years, even with the lever, the likelihood it would work is 0 to 1

((Part of a team of five, Sahara, Hannah, Steven, Larry, and You. You are on a future planet, was at once terraformed, but isn't any longer. The heat pumps that powered the heating of individual segments of the planet don't work.))

((Uhm, that makes absolutely no sense, but whatever.))

Anyway, can we go to a major datacenter or something. Let's find information on what caused all systems to fail at once, and without warning.

Ecological Center
None of the computers work, but some ecologist has left behind a note
Hannah: Read it aloud or hand it to me

Cutscene time

She takes the note and puts it in her bag
Hannah: We're not going to get much luck from government facilities, whatever evidence that was there must have been confiscated
Larry: Then where, exactly, do you plan on us going
Sahara points to a billboard

A city mourns the unfortunate death of Titan, the greatest football player ever

Sahara: Stadium, anyone? Something tells me his death wasn't natural.

Something says little evidence will remain. I mean, they managed to put the news on billboards, the news must have been at least a day or 2 old after it happened.

Besides, there's no absolutely no relevancy to the current issue. Are there any emergency shelters in this place. Maybe there're survivors.

(Cutscene time, I use that phrase before I make a post that isn't a reply to a suggestion)
Sahara: Right, fine, I don't know if they're are shelters or not though
Hannah: Couldn't be.....for twenty years?
Larry: No one could survive here that long, she has a point, you know


(Meh.....The original Amerup was my writing at best)

In that case, I don't know why we waste our time here. We should blast off, tell them the problem and have them send in the recovery teams. There's nothing we can do here. It's a surprise these cities haven't collapsed yet under the weight of the ice.

Hannah: There's still the question of what went wrong though.
Larry: I agree with him though, we should go.
Hannah: We stay.
Sahara: but....
Hannah: Stay!

It's simple. Something unknown, something terrible, killed of this entire planet, before even a single message could be send. The government was either one of the first casualties, or tried to actively hide what happened here. Considering we've seen no signs of damage, I doubt it was the first. Additionally, there are no signs of damage of the giant storms that would've occurred if the Planetary heating system had failed piece by piece. It must have failed at once, or rather, it's been shut down, to contain something. Something, that should stay buried in the ice. Let's leave this rock, before whatever devastated this world can escape.

But somehow I believe you know more about what happened here than you're telling us.

Hannah: Couldn't be.....for twenty years?
Larry: No one could survive here that long, she has a point, you know
((You have spaceships. Surely you can make a completely selfsufficient shelter capable of lasting for some time. Or you know, a backup center storing information with it's own power source))
