The space program has grown at an exponential rate, allowing such marvels as cities on the moon and colonies on mars. Now, as technology improves, they are exploring bold new frontiers. The most recent mission: Sendingg a manned spacecraft, "Pathfinder," into the black hole at Cygnus X-1
(Research Station Delta in orbit around the Earth)Captain- "Any word from the Pathfinder yet?"
Officer- "None, Captain"
Captain- "How long has it been since the acquisition of target and loss of signal?"
Officer- "6 hours, 12 minutes, Captain."
Captain- "Life support, how much longer will their life support..."
Officer- "Captain! External sensors are detecting a large but focused gravitational increase!"
Captain- "On screen!"Officer- "Captain, I got three alien bogies coming in hard and fast!"
Captain- "Red Alert! Emergency Stations! Alert NASA headquarters on Earth...."
10 years later...
The war with the aliens rages still, with the humans losing all but their home planet, Earth. However, with new technology, the tides of war are shifting to favor the humans. Scientists have studied the alien's technology, identifying their means of transport. It seems to be a small, mobile black hole which allows them to open a doorway from their home planet to anywhere else. Scientists have dubbed this the Vortex. After further studies, scientists have developed a new weapon against the enemy, the hRider.
The hRider (Horizon Rider) is one part of a prototype weapon to use against the aliens. It works by riding on the multiple horizons of gravitational pull inside the Vortex. While it cannot retreat out of the Vortex, it is able to advance and hold it's position.Scientist have developed the AGEB (Anti-Gravity Explosive Ball) which nullifies the gravitational pull of the Vortex. The Rebounder Shield on the hRider allows for the manipulation of the deadly AGEB, allowing the two to work in harmony against the enemy.
Your mission: To enter the Vortex in your hRider, penetrate through an unknown number of barriers, and destroy the alien threat!
