It is the year 2387 and Romulus has been destroyed thus ending a few millennia of unrest and uneasy truce in the federation. The future of exploration is bright indeed especially for this dashing Federation Cadet

That was me after hearing the news that Ive been selected for a science mission aboard this sweet Federation RSV (Reconnaissance Science Vessel) .

For the first few weeks of the mission of exploring the outer sectors, I was assigned to the Duty Down Under the belly- basically manning the photo booth

Until one day our ship was ambushed..

We put up a good fight against the unknown enemy..

..But we took some serious hit and we had to find a planet to land soon. Our sensors indicate that theres a desert planet nearby..

and as the ship is crashing towards the desert planet, the my whole world seems to flash by me and oddly its a life of an ancient from the 21st century..maybe an ancestor of mine and in the following unexplained string of memories of things that I would take with me when I crash land on the desert planet

2 Watches (used by the ancients to tell time by way of mechanical movements)..

My BBQ 360- Everytime I put it on, I am grateful that my interest in Panerai led to this site and all the wonderful friends I made from here
