ROOM_DESCR 2	{bridge}
You are standing on the bridge of your ship.  Around you are                   
various complex instruments and machinery used to navigate your                
way around the galaxy.  Through the view port, can be seen a vast              
desert that extends as far as the eye can see.  Various lights                 
can be seen blinking around the control panels.  Several of them               
are flashing in irregular patterns. The navigation console as                  
well as the communications console are here  A passage way leads               
out of the bridge area south of you.  Standing                                 
in one corner is your personal and thief proof security locker.                
a gangway leads down from here into the critical systems.

ROOM_DESCR 3	{personal area}
You are standing in the personal area of your ship. Like most                  
ships of this size it has the usual ship-hold items.  Along one                
wall is a large control panel with a large red button mounted                  
upon it labelled "airlock activation."  Next to the panel is a                 
large airlock door that must lead outside of the ship.  Passages               
lead north to the bridge, and south to the cargo area.  A door                 
also opens to the west.

empty shelves.  A large device resembling a net is fastened to                 
one wall.

As noted in the ships computer the air is really thin out here.                
The desert stretches as far as the eye can see.  It is also                    
unmercifully hot out here a human couldn't survive out here for                
very long without some type of protection from the elements.                   
END_ROOM_DESCR 6

You reach out your finger and push the large green button.  After              
a moment of silence, you feel a slight pressure change as the air              
from the outside is brought in, and the air in the airlock is                  
removed.  After another little bit of silence, the outside door                
opens, with a soft wining noise.  You step outside.  The airlock               
door closes with a soft click.

as the eye can see.  The surface of the cliff is fine sandstone                
polished to a brilliant shine.  It does not look like the shine                
was created by the process of erosion, in fact it doesn't look                 
natural at all.

After walking for a long time you eventually come near to the end

the cliff sheltering you from the direct rays.  To the south of                
you is a large canyon.  The path continues west and east from                  
here.  Cut into the side of the cliff is a set of stairs that go               
up from here.

All around you are dozens, and dozens of sand dunes of every size

piles, these must be the beginning of new sand dunes.  Each dune               
is taller then a person, and they look very unstable.

make out an area of sand dunes.  The stairs them self are worn                 
smooth perhaps from many feet once trekking this way.  Or perhaps              
it is because of the relentless wind, that has scoured these

Off to the west and east, the desert continues for miles, upon                 
miles.  To the south is the flight of stairs, and to the north is              
a shear cliff face.  The ground all around you seems to be                     
covered with deep scratches of some kind, as if they were made by              
dragging very heavy equipment across this area.  This planet is                
more and more suggestive of intelligent life.  This puzzles you,               
because your ship scanners didn't indicate any forms of                        
intelligent life.

mettle.  The walls seem to give off a soft glow as you move                    
around the tunnel.  Along the ceiling is a light source with no                
obvious light fixtures.  The ceiling does not flicker in the                   
slightest, and you wonder do they ever burn out.  The ceiling                  
light continues the entire length of the tunnel.  Far off in the

The wind roars around the landscape.  It seems like a storm is

Dear lost soul.  The real reason I am writing is to tell you                   
about the love of Jesus and of the fact that he died for your                  
sins on a old rugged cross on a hill on Calvary.  I don't know                 
how you are going to take this, and really I don't really care.                
I just know that it is my duty to spread the word of God to                    
others that are not washed in the blood, and who are not free                  
from sin.  This not only applies to you but to your family as                  
well.  I know that you don't like talking about the gospel, but                
the bible says that believers will be persecuted for their faith.              
Will you except god in your heart, because the time of the                     
rapture and Jesus's return to this earth is not very far down the              
road.  The bible has made it very clear what happens to those who              
don't know him.  Matthew chapter seven tells about that                        
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not                       
        prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out                  
devils?                                                                        
        and in thy name done many wonderful works?  And then will              
I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart                                  
        from me, ye that work iniquity.  Also in Matthew 10-32.33              
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I                    
        confess also before my Father which is in heaven.                      
                                                                               
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny                   
        before my Father which is in heaven.                                   
                                                                               
Also in john chapter 12                                                        
                                                                               
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on                  
        me should not abide in darkness.                                       
                                                                               
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him                     
        not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the                
world.                                                                         
                                                                               
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one                     
        that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same                
shall judge him in the last day.  i  only tell you about christ                
you are the one that has to make the real decision to except                   
Christ into your heart.  I know that you have many fears and                   
burdens and that you are blind to the truth and the light.  But                
Jesus can take all of this away.  So I am asking you to pick up                
your Bible and read it.  It will change your life.  You MUST BE                
BORN AGAIN!!!!! It is written in John chapter three verse three.               
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto                   
        thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the                    
kingdom of God.                                                                
It is also written in first peter chapter one verse twenty-three.              
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of                              
        incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and                    
abideth for ever.                                                              
Everyone is made up of three parts the body, the soul, and the                 
spirit and because of when Adam and Eve sinned in Eden the                     
connection between the soul and the spirit of God have been                    
destroyed.  That is why Jesus came to this world to restore the                
connection between the soul and the spirit of God.  It is written              
in John chapter three verse sixteen.  For God so loved the world,              
that he gave his only begotten                                                 
        Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,                
but have everlasting life. I hope that you give your heart to the              
lord as I have done.  Because without being born again and being               
washed in the blood of Christ you will not make it to heaven.                  
The time before the LORD returns is very short.  The book of                   
Revelation tells us what happens to those who do not know the                  
lord as their personal saviour.                                                
                                                                               
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and                      
        murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and                        
idolaters, and                                                                 
        all liars, shall have their part in the lake which                     
burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.                    
                                                                               
The devil will try and destroy us and keep us from God.  The                   
devil will try in every way to deceive gods people.  For the                   
devil know's that his time is short on this earth.  In first John              
chapter three verse eight we see that. He that committeth sin is               
of the devil; for the devil sinneth                                            
        from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was                
        manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.              
You mite think, I don't need Jesus because there is no sin in my               
life.  But I tell you that all of us including myself were                     
conceived and born in sin.  Romans chapter 3.23, For all have                  
sinned, and come short of the glory of God.  Also in Romans                    
chapter 6 verse 23 it says, For the wages of sin is death; but                 
the gift of God is eternal                                                     
        life through Jesus Christ our Lord.  This further                      
outlined in Romans chapter 5 verse 8,  But God commendeth his                  
love toward us, in that, while we were                                         
        yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Again in First John                  
chapter 1 verses 8 and 9, it tells us the same thing, If we say                
that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the                             
        truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, he is                     
faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from               
all unrighteousness.  Jesus stands at the door of your heart                   
waiting for you to let him in.  But this is a very strange door,               
the handle is on the inside and only you can open it.  Revelation              
chapter 3 verse 20, Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if                 
any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him,               
and will sup with him, and he with me.  I hope and pray that you               
will see the light and know where I am coming from because                     
without God you are know where.  All it takes is one simple                    
prayer to except the LORD as your saviour.  That prayer is, Oh,                
LORD I know that I am a sinner, and I can no longer direct my own              
life.  I ask you to come into my heart and direct my life.  I                  
confess that you are now my personal LORD and saviour.                         
That is all there is to it.  You can add your own words if you                 
wish because only you know what is happening in your life.  if                 
you have prayed that prayer, John chapter 1 verse 12, But as many              
as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,              
even to them that believe on his name:  Also in Second                         
Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17,  Therefore if any man be in                    
Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold,              
all things are become new.  from a caring brother in Christ.

Also in john chapter 12                                                        
                                                                               
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on                  
        me should not abide in darkness.                                       
                                                                               
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him                     
        not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the                
world.                                                                         
                                                                               
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one                     
        that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same                
shall judge him in the last day.  i  only tell you about christ                
you are the one that has to make the real decision to except                   
Christ into your heart.  I know that you have many fears and                   
burdens and that you are blind to the truth and the light.  But                
Jesus can take all of this away.  So I am asking you to pick up                
your Bible and read it.  It will change your life.  You MUST BE                
BORN AGAIN!!!!! It is written in John chapter three verse three.               
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto                   
        thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the                    
kingdom of God.                                                                
It is also written in first peter chapter one verse twenty-three.              
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of                              
        incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and                    
abideth for ever.                                                              
Everyone is made up of three parts the body, the soul, and the                 
spirit and because of when Adam and Eve sinned in Eden the                     
connection between the soul and the spirit of God have been                    
destroyed.  That is why Jesus came to this world to restore the                
connection between the soul and the spirit of God.  It is written              
in John chapter three verse sixteen.  For God so loved the world,              
that he gave his only begotten                                                 
        Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,                
but have everlasting life. I hope that you give your heart to the              
lord as I have done.  Because without being born again and being               
washed in the blood of Christ you will not make it to heaven.                  
The time before the LORD returns is very short.  The book of                   
Revelation tells us what happens to those who do not know the                  
lord as their personal saviour.                                                
                                                                               
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and                      
        murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and                        
idolaters, and                                                                 
        all liars, shall have their part in the lake which                     
burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.                    
                                                                               
The devil will try and destroy us and keep us from God.  The                   
devil will try in every way to deceive gods people.  For the                   
devil know's that his time is short on this earth.  In first John              
chapter three verse eight we see that. He that committeth sin is               
of the devil; for the devil sinneth                                            
        from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was                
        manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.              
You mite think, I don't need Jesus because there is no sin in my               
life.  But I tell you that all of us including myself were                     
conceived and born in sin.  Romans chapter 3.23, For all have                  
sinned, and come short of the glory of God.  Also in Romans                    
chapter 6 verse 23 it says, For the wages of sin is death; but                 
the gift of God is eternal                                                     
        life through Jesus Christ our Lord.  This further                      
outlined in Romans chapter 5 verse 8,  But God commendeth his                  
love toward us, in that, while we were                                         
        yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Again in First John                  
chapter 1 verses 8 and 9, it tells us the same thing, If we say                
that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the                             
        truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, he is                     
faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from               
all unrighteousness.  Jesus stands at the door of your heart                   
waiting for you to let him in.  But this is a very strange door,               
the handle is on the inside and only you can open it.  Revelation              
chapter 3 verse 20, Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if                 
any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him,               
and will sup with him, and he with me.  I hope and pray that you               
will see the light and know where I am coming from because                     
without God you are know where.  All it takes is one simple                    
prayer to except the LORD as your saviour.  That prayer is, Oh,                
LORD I know that I am a sinner, and I can no longer direct my own              
life.  I ask you to come into my heart and direct my life.  I                  
confess that you are now my personal LORD and saviour.                         
That is all there is to it.  You can add your own words if you                 
wish because only you know what is happening in your life.  if                 
you have prayed that prayer, John chapter 1 verse 12, But as many              
as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,              
even to them that believe on his name:  Also in Second                         
Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17,  Therefore if any man be in                    
Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold,              
all things are become new.  from a caring brother in Christ.

INTRO 
All systems ready the metallic and artificial, sounding computer               
voice issues forth from the two speakers mounted above the                     
various instruments in your space craft.  Suddenly a voice breaks              
through your conscience, and you hear a person speaking.  You are              
cleared to launch the voice of the station system controller                   
crackles over your sub space radio.  Through the view port you                 
see the huge space doors begin to open on to the vast vesta of                 
interstellar space.  Proceed with thrusters at one meter per                   
second you instruct your ships computer.  You sit back and watch               
other ships pass, as the automatic guidance system guides your                 
ship through the space dock, and into the vastness of                          
interstellar space.  It seems to be another routine day, as you                
prepare to put your small space craft into hyper space.  For                   
thirty years it has been the same old routine, transporting cargo              
from one outpost to another.  If only something different were to              
change this monotonous existence, you think to yourself as you                 
make the transition into hyperspace.  Oh well you think at least               
it has been a routine trip for the last thirty years, why should               
anything change now.  Sitting back in the pilots seat, you relax               
for the three hours it will take your small craft to reach the                 
next outpost.  Suddenly the voice of the ships computer jolts you              
to full alertness, "long range sensors have detected a Hostile                 
vessel twenty degrees off the port bough, evasive action taken."               
"Computer identify enemy vessel?"  "Enemy vessel does not match                
any known ship types or any known specifications...  Again the                 
voice of the on board computer intrudes on your conscience, "near              
miss by energy weapon."  You watch as several warning lights                   
illuminate the complex consoles situated around you.  Staring                  
through your view port there is a bright flash of green light,                 
directly followed by the sound of the ship shuttering around you.              
                                                                               
Sparks and smoke pore from between many of the components                      
contained in the ships systems.  "Direct hit by energy weapon,                 
Major damage to critical systems."  "Return fire maximum spread                
and yield."  You watch with a smile on your face as a small thin               
red line lances forth from the powerful weapons array contained                
in the forward section of your ship.  glancing through the view                
port you watch as your weapon fire disrupts the containment field              
of the other ships warp core.  Suddenly Your view is filled with               
a tremendous and brilliant explosion, as the enemy vessel expands              
outward in an ever widening debris field.  Again the voice of the              
ships computer invades your conscience, "successful destruction                
of enemy vessel."  "Computer damage report?"  "The following                   
systems have sustain damage propulsion,                                        
thrusters are available, life support."  "Computer search for a                
suitable landing destination?"  "Nearest destination is                        
Tarabithia, point five parsecs from here." "Set course to                      
Tarabithia thrusters only."  "Setting course estimated time of                 
arrival is one hour."  Having an hour to kill you decide to                    
research the ships computer for information about Tarabithia.                  
Inputting your personal access code you call up the files on                   
planetary history.  Tarabithia is a recently discover planet.  It              
is a class K planet, with an extremely Thin Oxygen/Nitrogen                    
atmosphere.  Specific gravity within 0.5 to 1.5 Earth normal.                  
Weather patterns are mostly dry and hot with temperatures ranging              
from 40 to 140 degrees Celsius.  Little area of fertile soil.  At              
best, you figure you could only survive there for a few hours.                 
"Approaching Tarabithia," the voice of the computer announces.                 
Tarabithia, you think to yourself, a desolate planet, and not fit              
for human life.  "computer activate atmosphere maneuvering                     
system, and commence with landing sequence."  You feel your ship               
buffeted around by turbulence in the atmosphere as your ship                   
approaches the surface of the planet.  Lights flash over the                   
console, as the atmosphere maneuvering system searches for a                   
suitable place to land.  With a soft thump your ship comes to                  
rest in an open plain.  With only your wits to be your guide, You              
know now it is a struggle between life or death if you are to                  
survive this alien planet.  Not only do many obstacles face you                
but your ship also needs to be repaired before you can leave this              
hostile world.  With hope in your heart you prepare yourself to                
begin exploring this alien world.
