Earth Clone 1 (Game opening)
The process had been perfected. Once the transport was acquired, they were placed into a stasis so they could not be harmed and would not wake accidentally during their movement. The transports came from many different places. Some were snatched from the aether as they traveled to other worlds, others found in limbo-like locations going nowhere. Others yet were taken from their own worlds, from their lives. Picked by hand, watched, then abducted.
The transports lived on the ship in pods, all of their needs taken care of while they were carefully monitored to be sure that not one of them had any chance of waking or remembering the ship. When the collection was complete, they were all taken to the first world.
For some, it would seem strange, for others, there would be no difference. The council had constructed things to make the transports relaxed and happy. They even created entire cities, in a couple of cases. The transports would wake up in replicas of their own homes, with all their familiar things around them. Those that could, anyway. The aliens knew that there were a couple of transports in the group that would be very out of place. There wasn't a lot that could be done about it.
The Earth Clone matched the Earth in the current year, 2013. It was picked on purpose to help the transports adjust to their new lives. Everything about this current trip was for that goal. To introduce the transports slowly into the idea that their lives would never be the same again.
Each transport was placed where the council thought it best, and as the new day dawned, the stasis collars were removed. The aliens vanished from sight, taking their place far above the Earth Clone to watch. They hoped to learn more about the transports, there was much information on them, but documents and photographs did not reveal what their reactions would be. The Researchers in particular were curious to see how the transports would take their new surroundings.
For the most part, everything about the Earth Clone would be like their homes. The "humans" that inhabited the planet, however, were slightly different. The difference was small. Not immediately noticeable. Every council member wondered how long it would take for the transports to pick it up, and what they would do when they did.
OOC:The difference in the humans on this world is something that will be revealed in about a week. In the mean time, your characters can know there's something off, and even be bothered by it. It's nothing huge, just something about these people that's not quite the way it should be.
Your characters may travel anywhere in this world, and do anything that they feel like doing. They will have no memory of being taken, or being on a ship. To most of them, it should be just like their old life. For those that are not from a modern world, you may play it as you see fit.
