You are a young asteroid at home deep in space, content to flit back and forth between the Elder Bodies as the herd slowly drifts along. Suddenly, something strange and terrible begins to happen. A fierce creature- a dreadful shiny thing- appears out of the blackness on the edge of the herd. The other youngsters soon begin to disappear in flashes as the thing (you hear a strange sound whispered amongst the elders: ‘*myneng syp’* ) spits fire into the herd. Soon you are the only youngster left. You must protect the herd, if not yourself.
