Ding!
[ You have shown your courage when you traveled for the first time to an unknown world. Your intuition when you investigated a mysterious Island under the control of a dangerous man. Finally you showed a willingness to do good when you flew straight into an unknown situation.]
[ But to keep moving forward, one cannot rely on luck alone. Experience helps, but information is the greatest advantage one can have.]
[Information on opportunities, on enemies, and on friends.]
[ There are various ways to gain information, but when you don't know where to begin, it is possible to drown in misinformation. One needs to find a way to separate the valuable from the useless.]
[ An artificial intelligence can get the job done!]
[ One from a world where humanity traveled throughout the galaxy]
[ Where the light of humanity shined bright before collapsing to darkness.]
[ But the light and humanity refused to be extinguished.]
[ Prepare to enter into the Destiny Universe]
(What follows is background information the system gives Carmen)
[ When man ventured to the stars they came across a miracle. The likes of which mankind had never witnessed before. On that day mankind learned they were not alone in the universe and the flood gates opened.]
[They called it the Traveler and its arrival changed humanity forever.]
[Great cities were built on Mars and Venus. Mercury became a garden world. Human lifespan tripled.]
[It was a time of miracles.]
[Humanity stared out at the galaxy and knew that it was their destiny to walk in the light of other stars, but the Traveler had an enemy.]
[A darkness which had hunted it for eons across the black gulfs of space. Centuries after humanity's golden age began, this darkness found them and that was the end of everything.]
- background ends-
[ But it was also the beginning...]
[ Time has passed and humanity continues to fight against the darkness. Aided by the Traveler and its ghosts, guardians rose to protect what was left.]
[ You many not be ready to become a hero yet, but are you prepared to become a guardian?]
[ System Objective: Gain mission experience and all standard equipment available to all guardians.]
[ Warning: time dilation exists between the two universe. One day in Destiny is 1 hour in your home universe.]
[Good Luck... Guardian]
A bright light appeared, blinding me momentarily. Then my vision reappeared and I stood in a vast open area.
Looking around I notice several vehicle wrecks. They appeared old, rusted, and a few were covered by vegitation. I could not identify the brand or model type.
"Good you're awake."
Turning around I noticed a small spherical device floating before me. The back had several pointed edges and within the center, a singular glowing blue light that stared at me.
"I'm a ghost... actually... I am your ghost. And you… are different from the others we find. The Traveler sent me a message to locate you."
"The Traveler?"
"Yes... I am a fragment of the Traveler and I was created to help ensure the survival of humanity. This is a special situation... The search for guardians usually takes a long time, but I am glad to have found you so quickly. "
"Guardian?"
"A protector, I will tell you more later, but for now we need to move. This is Fallen territory, it is not safe to be here"
The ghost flies off toward a large complex in the distance and I decide to follow it toward the complex.
