THE FIRST FIRE STARTER

  The Consumers are winning the war of extinction that they started with a massive surprise attack on the colonial planets. There are no known survivors from these attacks and no surrender is tried anymore; for anyone attempting to surrender is consumed after the surrender is completed. All attempts to contact the Consumers to open negotiations have received no response or the negotiators are not seen or heard from again. Never in the memory of the people’s race have they not been able to find a peaceful resolution to the conflicts thrust upon them, but never has an enemy flatly refused to communicate. The ship’s crew adjusts the ships defensive screens to start collecting the leftover dust and debris from when the local solar system formed. Ultimately, the ship appears to be a twelve hundred foot long asteroid that is seven hundred feet in diameter. When the process of camouflaging the ship is complete, it is moved to the inner side of an asteroid belt and “hidden”. 

THE FIRST FIRE STARTER

 The ship’s captain, observing what are now normal caution and procedures since the start of the war, orders the ship to be camouflaged as an asteroid and moved closer to the solar system for a much more detailed passive analysis of the system. The war is last known to have been going badly, very badly, as unit after unit was defeated in detail. The ship must not be risked in any fashion, for it is quite possibly the last bastion of the race. Only the Ship’s captain and the Coordinator of Sciences have the knowledge that the crew was handpicked for their genetic make up instead of any other reason. Nor does the crew know that in the medical section of the ship there is a complete obstetrics and reproductive unit that will help the crew colonize a new planet. This is the race’s last forlorn hope that it will continue in some fashion. The captain and the Coordinator of Sciences have quietly met and both have sworn to take any action that they deem necessary to protect the race’s future.

THE FIRST FIRE STARTER

  A small scout/survey class ship transitions from F space to relativistic space in a brief flash of visible energies. The ship begins a series of course changes to offset it’s self from its original course and point of entry. The ship comes to a full stop and the in system drive is turned off. The bridge officers begin to ask their subordinates for initial reports on the local solar system’s technological level. The initial reports all show no signs of technological “noise” or developments. These reports bring a lessening of the initial tension on the bridge. The ship’s commander orders the engineering section to begin making initial preparations to camouflage the ship. This is ultimately a futile activity because the inhabitants of the solar system are not observing the skies for alien presences and have not yet developed any technologies beyond thrusting spears made of barely sharpened saplings. They have only recently formed the concept of “God(s)” and would have believed it an omen of the god’s displeasure had it been noticed.
