https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/thumb/9/91/Undead_concept_art.jpg/300px-Undead_concept_art.jpg Two years ago, a ship, called The Albatross , found a new planet. It was the closest to earth they'd found, and with no native animal or plant life to compete with the transplanted earth ones, creating an environment for humans was no challenge. The planet was terraformed and dubbed Vesta after the Roman goddess of home and hearth. Things went well for those two years. People flourished, the plants grew, the animals were healthy. Then, people started going missing... Little known to the people, the planet has a force within it. It sucks away the life-force of anything living upon it. It lies dormant until two years after new life has lived on it, then starts killing. But that's not all. What it kills, it reanimates to kill the others more quickly and efficiently. Not only that, but when it starts sucking away the lives of those on it, it's atmosphere becomes almost impossible to penetrate and storms keep any sort of teleportation out of the question. Now, they have no contact with the outside worlds and their own dead will soon be turning upon them... This is technofantasy, so things like gunswords are welcome. Mages, too, work. It's fantasy, too, peoples!

JACKSON stares at them. "What if they're food?"

"If you have to kill, then kill. It doesn't really really hurt. It's just a weird feeling. and a little bit of pain."

"So then we can just spontaneously kill them?" she perks up a bit.

"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost."

Violet rolled her eyes. Then screamed as a zombie landed on her head.
"What the H-"
