3012 A.D EARTH, 10 YEARS after the comet hit our home Terra Firma, (Earth) is on life support after an iron-based comet cut straight through like a bullet, destroying more than 70% of life on the planet...
Prospectors on an expedition, investigate a strange signal coming from inside a hollowed-out asteroid, stumble upon a glowing ancient alien artifact. After touching the artifact, the team is suddenly teleported to another dimension...
Separated and suffering from amnesia the crew is split up, then captured & enslaved aboard a malevolent AI-controlled mining barge. Enslaved and forced against their wills to mine asteroids in a mech suit, all while, collecting and crafting, while devising a plan to escape to freedom!
SPOILER ALERT
Flashbacks and dreams of the once vibrant Earth, and glimpse back of the advanced old Gaia, showing ancestors, a young girl piloting a mech suit carrying her wounded grandfather up a mountain...she seems almost like my Sister, that I haven't seen since being thrown into this jail cell, just after touching the alien artifact that pulled me into some kind of time dimensional portal, or alternative multiverse of hell...I must find a way out of the prison, I may have to work off my debt as a slave asteroid miner, and try to make some friends find some answers about this place...There must be a way out, and then I need to find that Alien Artifact and try to return it back home.
Once escaping from the Barge, the quest to recover the alien artifact, a time dimensional device, can turn back the time to help her Grandfather use the alien artifact to deflect the comet from devastating Earth's destruction.
