"Feb.17. 2167. Deep Space Colony Unzervald: Final Log Entry."

"After being marooned on this distant world for nearly 20 years, we have now engineered a launch vehicle with enough power to leave the system. Many of the colonists are too weak for hyperspace. I am faced with the task of choosing 30 of the most fit to accompany me. My mission is clear: find out if our forces or the evil Ur-Quan prevailed in the galactic war. And most importantly, discover if our planet survived."
