Turn 1: The end of the world
And so it ends...
After seeing innumerable species pass by, after flying through the void for almost 5
miliard years, accompangied only a liveless rock, after enduring so much the end is yet so simple. A lump of ice almost 100 kilometers across, traveling at nearly one third the speed of light is about to hit the earth. Nobody expected it, the humans, despite their intellect and massive telescopes were only able to spot it one day ahead. Most of them didn't even know before a second sun lit up in the sky, not even the religious
apocalyptists.However, some of these curious beings survived the death of their planet. They escaped their planet mere seconds before it's destruction, and flew of through the infinity of space and time in their magnificent time machine. It was them who had to carry the legacy of their planet, making it's name known and famed thorough the multiverse.
This is their story
As the topsecret governement base started to collapse around them, the humans scrambled to gather supplies and stock them in their T.M.
... Tyrin stumbled and barely made it into the Time machine, failing to bring anything with him.
... Hilda wasn't very succesfull in bringing things in either.
...Rhys grabbed one of the weapon crates, but as he made his way back to the timemachine he was hit by a burning piece of the collapsing building
..., breaking and burning his left arm but knocking him safely into the time machine.
... The crate proved to be very valuable indeed, containing a Auto-aiming rocket launcher and 5 rockets.
...Franz hurries and manages to stack not one but 2 crates into the T.M.
......One of them contained some mysterious but dangerous looking weapon while the other was filled with 10 power cells.
... Edward failed to drag spare parts aboard the ship, though he had made sure the medicins were onboard first.
Someone pushed the Depart button and the whole thing started to hum, with crystal glowing softly. Then suddenly, with the sound a banana makes when stepped upon, the whole slipped out of this universe, on it's way to a new and exiting adventure.
... With loud thunder and lightning the T.M reentered reality. You aren't really able to see what's going on, but through the some of the holes in the Titanium armor you can see wath appears to be an airship. This is followed by the realization that the ship isn't standing on firm ground and is in fact incapable of flight. A few seconds later there's the sound of a collision and a loud Klang of metal hitting metal, luckly the ship is stuck firmly. All the lights go dark and the T.M doesn't make any noise anymore.
When you look outside you can see that you're in some kind of tower and just hit a rather large bell. Looking through the ruined clockface you can see the river Thames, quite a lot of London and 2 airships flying towards you. You also spot regiments of clockwork guards and other machinery marching through the streets. These too are coming in your direction.
