= PROLOGUE
The year is 2136.
An army spaceship, the X3-MI8, carrying 12 cadets was sighted drifting slowly in space. No one dares to save them, fearing that their lives would be endangered if they too get close to the spacecraft.
After all, the spaceship had suddenly lost all it's power without any known explaination. The backup power generators were jammed.
The grim reaper was waiting to collect their lives.
The cadets within slowly awaited their deaths as their ship approaches closer towards the dwarf planet Eris with every passing day, doomed to freeze...
The ship lacks sufficient supplies to keep everyone alive. Oxygen is running out. Food and water is running out. How long more can they survive?
Just then, a scream pierced the hallways. The cadets crept into the hallways, following the source of the sound.
Entering their captain's room, they found him lying on the floor, brutally marred. Walls splattered with his blood. On the ceiling, written with blood, were the words:
"One down, eleven to go."
No one had bothered to clean up the mess, they knew their fates were sealed and no one would ever rescue them. If they were going to die without proper respect for their bodies, so would their captain.
With every passing day, another died.
Eventually, only one was left, Keith Goldberg. The captain himself. Supposedly dead.
The backup power generators suddenly started up and steered away from Eris.
Nearly approaching Neptune, the backup power generator had lost all it's power. A crash landing followed.
Crashing onto Triton, a moon of Neptune's, no remains of the bodies were ever sighted. All that was left, was the ship...
...
Legend has it, that any expedition team who has entered the ship, never again emerged from the doors...

= MAIN STORY
Eight years has passed since the incident...
On the ring of Saturn, a young Huricez named Zatellen resides, he relies on thievery for survival. With his gloves, powered by Fire Agate.
Fire Agate was once common on the planet Earth, but once known that it has a strong and nearly indestructible substance residing deep within it, it started becoming rare.
Aliens and humans alike all rushed for it. One would bid as much as eighteen zillion kurtz (worldwide currency) for it.
With Fire Agate's popularity rising, every race in the Solar System worked on creating a way to successfully tap into the power of it. Many had succeeded, but no one could really perfect it.
There ended up with many different varieties of the Fire Agate Powered Arms,
They knew the Fire Agate had more power than the ability to shatter a 21st century building, they wanted more power.
Many tried cloning the Fire Agate which they promptly failed to do so, no one has yet to perfect a cloning device even in this day and age.
Zatellen has a pair of weak Fire Agate Powered Gloves, it still has the ability to break down 21st century buildings. Relying on thievery for survival, he is regarded as no more than a thug.
Zatellen has an eight thousand kurtz bounty on him, which is regarded as rather low. He has recently been arrested and is currently serving a jailterm in the Worldwide Prison.
Now, the jail committee has decided to start sending the useless and dangerous criminals to explore the X3-MI8.
They have decided to send in 8 criminals with lifelong imprisonment at a time...
Should they succeed, they will be released from their jailterm, but this is asking for death.
The first to be picked...
...
...Zatellen...
The second to be picked was Kris, a human.
Caught for smuggling illegal goods to the Huricez on Saturn from Earth.
She wields a dagger.
"Iron Gut" Brutus, a hog. Famed for his extraordinary tough defence.
However, he is extremely slow in his steps.
Thrown in jail for assaulting others.
The pixie, Flora.
Famed for their wonderful healing abilities.
Usually docile until provoked.
Flora here, is a deaf, but she excels in lip reading.
She was thrown in jail for impersonating a doctor.
Zephyrus the zombie.
Jailed for murdering his owners.
He wasn't executed because his owners were horrible.
The murder was regarded as manslaughter.
Another human, nicknamed Silent, his name is unknown.
Jailed for potential danger to other lifeforms.
He's a werewolf.
A female Huricez named Xerun was jailed for manslaughter.
Picked as the seventh criminal to be sent on the expedition.
After that, everyone was given their equipments and some money to purchase other equipments.
No one knew who the last criminal was. They assumed the prison guards miscounted, and it was for the best.
Although they didn't know each other, they didn't want to risk anyone's lives.
They also knew that they wouldn't be able to get along with one another. Different species and different customs.
They were each attatched with a Revolving Eye. A machine hooked onto the ear.
It will see what the bearer sees and connect it to a specified database.
Should they try to escape, the Revolving Eye will emit a heavy electrical discharge and stop them from moving any further.
