welcome to earth:where nothing is new
and everything is dead
After completing the preliminary course
and passing all of the exams, 0094652 is
prepared for his shitty journey.
At the cost of previous generations
destroying itself over and over again,
it is now 3055 CE and earth lays bare
and naked. Luckily, scientists discovered
a possible solution: one that may not
include new technology altogether, but
rather a machine that can help Earth
stabilize itself using multiple elements.
Rather than segregate and conquer,
0094652's mission includes synthesizing
resources together in order to create a
new and flourishing environment on Earth.

It's 2:34am.
I am looking at the rusted
ceiling at the number four;
switching simultaneously to
the letters a and m.
Outside my window, I see
indications of a scab being
peeled off.
On the floor, my handbook is glistening against the battle sky.
Clouds form like ink blots
under the words"material"
and "gather."
I see a fish dancing in between letters while spider crabs clap frantically.
Or it’s a penis... ...hanging from a scrotum.
It is now 2:37 AM.
I have approximately two hours and twenty-two minutes before I place my hand on my apartment door and leave for six months.
To where?
I don’t know and frankly I don’t care.
The streets are always trashed.
Covered in filth, rotting into the sewers.
You wonder why the fluids are always red and grimy, but you
know it’s far more than just chemicals.
5 AM looks horrible.
Number?

That way.
Welcome to the invasion team .
You have been chosen per your career and lifestyles.
Many of you have shitty jobs and
live alone.
Enjoy the next
six months finally
doing something
worthwhile.
Something with
meaning.
We are giving you a fucking purpose.
While you walked those outside streets for what will probably be the last time, you’ve noticed that Earth is desolate. The resources we need to survive are made in labs and they eventually deplete themselves.
Most of what we eat, drink, and breathe are man-made.
What the fuck is nature?
We think we found it --
But it’s not here. We fucking wasted it and now our generation has to fix it.
The mission is quite simple in context, really.
After rigorous exploration expeditions through various galaxies, we were able
to find a peculiar solar system: 606.
This system contains five planets that seems to be overflowing in resources
needed to create a machine that will help our planet: Project Earth.
You will be sent to each world in order to collect the materials.
While exploring, be careful. The worlds are home to very hostile aliens that will attack you on sight. We have tried to communicate with them on multiple occasions --
-- but it seems as though they don’t respond to reason.
The order of planets you will be visiting are:
Unda
Anima Minera
Petrole Aria
I won’t lie to you. This won’t be easy.Hell, some of you won’t even make it back -- but that’s why you were chosen.
You want the meaning of life? Well, here it is:
You are a nomad. Travelling from planet to planet so you can gather shit to live.
Congratulations...
...and good luck.
Meaning of life?
Sounds like just another game waiting to be played and beaten.

Outlined above is the order of planets and underneath is the weapon that the materials
can build. You will also find the most effective way to use each weapon.
Flip over to view the machine and information regarding the equipment you will be using
for the mission.
PROJECT:EARTH MACHINE
To the right is the completed
machine including all the
constructed parts.
Your part of the machine
is to collect at least 100
material from each planet.
Once 100 is gathered, the
scientists on your ship will
be able to build a machine
part, as seen below.
You will be notified when you
reach 100.
Operating your equipment
In order to effectively gather material at a quick pace,
your gear operates via key commands.
