## Basic Files

The Leaper Queena was discovered by Explorer-13 on the fragments of planet Flame-281. There's an air surrounding Queena that makes people hesitant to approach her. She claims to be a true queen of the dragon people-- Apatosaurus and is well known throughout the star systems. Her highest goal has always been to restore the throne of her homeworld.

She was always a powerful being, yet she remains extremely enthusiastic about the newest technology and the meaning of increasing power. In her own words, absorption of new information and techniques and constant improvement are the real pride of the truly powerful.

### Background Story (I): Regal Stature

I met that gal once before coming to cocoon, or rather I saw her once. In the burning coliseum a fight is about to begin and the energy in the rinf is almost at a peak. The stands are shouting my name: "Leon-! Lev!"

A huge shadow passes over the sky above the coliseum, attracting the attention of all. A being of enormous stature and regal poise flapped its wings, gazing down at us.

```
From such a height everything must look tiny.... The bright sun got to me and I blinked, when I looked back she had disappeared. All that was left were the murmurs of the crowd.

"Who was that?"

"The true queen of Apatosaurus, from the legends, she's like a god...."

The intermission ender and the audience turned their attention back to the ring. A battle of life and death still waited for me.

"Hungh, a king is no king if they have no experience of battle."

```

### Background Story (II): Unwelcome Guest

Long ago, when I was still living in the mountains, some unwanted guests occasionally wandered by.

One day, a giant creature wheeled through the sky, pushing the clouds aside-- it was what the humans on Earth called a "dragon."

"Apatosaurus, why have you come to this place?"

She slowly exhaled, her body emanating a heat that was not of this world. "Simply to see a place my elders once visited, that is all."
"Several thousand years have passed since your ancestors set foot here, the humans that now inhabit this planet believe you to be little more than legends, objects of faith. You should not have come."

The dragon became silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "And you? What do you mean to the humans? What keeps you here?"

"I was born here; to the humans that means conforming to the laws of nature."

She turned and left. Before she took flight I heard her murmur, "I hope we can meet again."

### Background Story (III): The Dragons of Legend

In the history of human civilization, dragons are impossible to overlook. Countless civilizations all have records of flying creatures of tremendous power capable of all kinds of feats. I always thought that was just an ancient legend or superstition.

Until the day the Leaper Queena arrived at base.

She truly is a queen, but when she cast her regal gaze over the high-tech equipment at base, I though I saw a bit of misunderstanding and confusion, but also an eagerness in her eyes. When we all gathered for a formal introduction, she asked me, "Are you the queen here?"

"No, Ms. Queena, Cocoon doesn't have a queen."

She nodded, "Very good, then in the future there will be. I will become the new queen, and undertake the responsibilities the title bears."

For the time being, it's difficult to explain our situation to Ms. Queena in detail, but we have a long time to get to that. There's no rush-- it's going to take me a while to accept that a DRAGON just joined our team.

### Background Story (IV): Final Glory

The library recently received a mural donated by Ms. Queena, I heard Captain Gaia had to exchange some top secret scientific research to get it.

The mural is a stone etching that depicts the moment of an apocalypse. A magnificent, regal palace is crumbling while a resolute dragon queen uses her enormous body and wings to protect her citizens from harm. Even a little dragon lost in the panic has stopped crying.

What a tragedy. There's lots of new-looking scientific equipment around the palace but the world is about to be destroyed before any of it can be put to use.

Ms. Queena hasn't said anything about the mural, so we'll never know if this is a depiction of the last moments of the Apatosaurus planet or not.

I did find an inscription on the back of the stone though. After checking through our reference materials I was finally able to decipher its meaning: "The final glory of Apatosaurus was to perish in peace in the embrace of Queen Queena. We fear not the future."

### Background Story (V): The Heavy Burden

Even considering the vastness of the universe, the inborn power of Apatosaurus is unparalleled. For thousands of years, my kind has enjoyed the worship of many civilizations; standing at the peak of honor, we looked down with scorn at everyone beneath us.

Yet what I witnessed on one of my space travels to the planet Earth forever changed the way I view life. Earth is a rather ordinary, even primitive planet, but the technology the inhabitants created was absolutely shocking to me. Looking around at all the mysterious technological devices I saw stunned me into the realization that we Apatosaurus had distanced ourselves for far too long. Should we stop and stagnate, the crown would slip through our fingers and fall into another's possession, and that was something I absolutely could not allow.

Yet before I could restore Apatosaurus to splendor, the disaster came. However, even if I am the only one of our people to reawaken it is of no matter. The road to reviving Apatosaurus is long, and the burden is heavy, but I will not give up.
