Turns out there were only two options…
- If you don’t die trying, you try dying.
- If you don’t try dying, you die trying.

Origins of the Aliens
Part 1: Prequel to a New Era
They say great things come in small packages.
But no package could contain what yet awaits.
So they reduce it to digital, their life blood DNA.
And - Be they friend, or be they foe…
Aliens have ‘ORIGINS’ too, you know!
And just one hit, that’s all it takes…
Whether by accidents, or anomalous mistakes…
A new Traveller is born. And to ATLAS we are sworn.
While we wait for the Origins update, I happened upon this very orange system. This is where I will wait for whatever is to come. There is a nearby Blackhole should I need to escape…unless the update changes that, in which case, que sera, sera.
The sun sets on the last night of this iteration. Now, I will wait for the sun to rise on a new beginning.
That is indeed very orange. How fitting!
The new topic for all our beautiful photos.
Origins of the Aliens
Part 2: Awakening of the Travellers
At times, the path of life may seem long and boring
- “What a drag, seen this before!”
- “Variation? Meh! - Infinity? Hmm.”
- “Definition of Insanity: Chasing one’s tail!”
And we may stare at that path, until the sun goes down
-
"Player, this is your character speaking. Listen!"
- “Can you please stop guiding me down this path?”
- “You do realize that we’re walking in complete circles.”
But - What’s a path if left untraveled? - What’s a journey, anyways?"
- “Are you trolling me !? — The journey is in the stars.”
- "Come now, take flight. Atlas says we only got 16. GO!"
And so off they went. And where they went, nobody knows.
- “This is your captain speaking…”
- “They say this is a simulation, that it is the game of life.”
- “Tell your people back home, variety is the spice of life.”
Destination: Gothbury
And so it came to pass…
That for the 1st time ever…
The player listened to the character!
Armed with this newfound power…
The two became inseparable!
- “We got this, my friend. - We’re gonna make a difference, me and you!”
And that’s when everything changed…
The Travellers took to the stars,
And the players? - They followed closely after…
