�Discovery of The Malnikanic�
[This is part of a concept that I am working on..]
The Malnikanic (māl-nĭ-kān�ĭk) is an artifact, discovered on a remote, desolate planet in the galaxy Arp 220 (Aprox: 20,000 light years away).
The artifact is a materials-generator. It uses minerals taken from its location and combines them with synthesized minerals (created and stored within the machine) in an effort to quickly (within ten days) create an atmosphere on a planet. The machine terra-forms a planet almost instantaneously; allowing a civilization the ability to inhabit local planets without the hundreds of years of waiting.Sadly; the machine�s synthetic materials are unstable, causing a complete (literally instantaneous) collapse in the atmosphere almost thirty years later. This, in effect, causes the near annihilation of humanity; we spread our selves too far too quickly- allowing for one last great Human Empire before the subsequent collapse of the atmospheres. All that remains is the barren wasteland Earth and the few starving survivors.This scene is where Christian has discovered the flaw of the machine from a hologram of the original creators on a planet over a hundred years from Earth. |
