You awaken in a small, enclosed
room with metal walls. The floor and walls are notably tilted at
an odd angle. The room is illuminated by a dim light flowing
through a crack in the ceiling. A small fold-out bed is attached
to a wall. Though you have no recollection of where you are, it
might appear to be a prison cell. An angled metal door lies
ahead. With effort, you push the creaky slab open.
You reach another large metal door. It's partially open, revealing light beyond it. Pressing a switch on a nearby wall causes the door to slowly and noisily open, uncovering a bright green landscape and lake beyond. Walking forward, you find yourself in the middle of a small peninsula within a lake surrounded by mountains.
This is not at all what you
expected. The "prison" you just exited is now revealed
to be a small, badly-damaged spacecraft. Debris trails the crash
site. The craft itself is wedged halfway into the ground, forming
a crater in the area surrounding it. Walking along a trail in the
foreign terrain, gun in hand, you journey onward to find out
where you are and what you purpose is here.
Observing your surroundings beyond the carnage reveals a beautiful and serene, yet somehow spooky, landscape. Two moons are in the sky. Ruins are in the distance. And a big, bad, alien is eating one of your buddies.
