## Lore

Our story starts in the distant Asterialgae Nebula, 250 light years away from Earth.

Standing over a towering ritual altar, a green bearded Asterialian gazed at the skies, with deep concern and fright in his heart. The skies had been all but consumed by the sun, which grew bigger and drew closer with each and everything passing day. They could feel its scorching heat and fury, as it inched closer and closer.

"Sir, has the situation not improved? " asked a young Asterialian worriedly.

"Our sun has become a red giant earlier than we estimated. Soon, it will engulf our entire planet. We will be no more than a speck in the sands of time."

The elder stroked their beard, several dried spores falling down.

"What happened exactly, sir? According to our calculations, our sun shouldn't have become a red giant for at least another 100 centuries. But now... "

"It goes against the rules of physics, it goes against the very laws of this universe. I can only think of one explanation... Someone is interfering with our space time continuum. To put it simply, someone stole our sun's time. "

"Steal time? How... How is that possible?" The young Asterialian was stunned.

An engine's roar interrupted their conversation. An Asterialian spacecraft landed beside them.

"General Labula. " greeted the elder.

"General, the whole planet has entered DEFCON 1 now. We are awaiting your command."

The tentacles over General Labula's head flayed around anxiously. The last time they did so was 500 years ago, when the Fungusians invaded Asterialgae.

"Can we hide in the depths of the oceans? Just like our ancestors did. " asked the young Asterialian.

"No. The gravity of the red giant will warp the oceans, creating a huge vortex. Look..." The elder's tentacles pointed at the far away oceans, which were starting to warp into violent spirals.

"It will only get worse. "

"What are we gonna do then?! " The young Asterialian asked anxiously.

"I guess the only solution is... dehydration. Our life form allows us to preserve our DNA even while dehydrated. We can hydrate ourselves again after the crisis is over. "

"What?! You mean we should turn ourselves into dried algae? We Asterialians are proud of our bouncy bodies! Dehydration is an insult to our race!" General Labula scolded angrily.

"I'm afraid that's the only solution, General Labula..."

"Don't tell me you forgot what happened 1000 years ago. The Fishfolk invaded our motherland and turned countless Asterialian into algae so they could have snacks at home. That's why dehydration is an insult to us. It once enslaved us! How can we endure that again just to stay alive?! "

"General Labula, look at the bigger picture. Dignity may not matter that much compared to the survival of the whole race..." said the elder seriously.

"I swore an oath that I would protect Asterialians, Asterialian culture and Asterialian pride at any cost! We will not endure the humiliation of being algae ever again!"

Enraged, Labula flew to midair and cried out "We will never be slaves! "

On that same day, Labula made a public speech to the nation, declaring to all in Asterialgae that he would find and conquer another livable planet, ensuring the survival of the Asterialians.

"Please take us there after you succeed..." Cried the Asterialians. But as time went on, they had no choice but to one by one dry themselves into algae.

Labula was left with no choice but to start their own journey in the universe alone. The universe was so vast, however, that Labula was not even sure which way to go. Despaired, lost and unable to contact his own kin, General Labula's will was often tested.

---Planet Earth, 10 years ago---

All changed when a quantum message was sent out from Earth.

In a certain calm and tranquil town, a chubby boy genius was putting together his first quantum transmitter. After a series of failed tests, it finally became operation.

With little knowledge of the risk he was taking, the chubby boy genius sent a quantum message to all corners of the universe.

"Hello, this is Earth! " - he said in a friendly greeting.

Suddenly, a green alien's hologram popped out of the transmitter's screen, causing the boy to roll back in surprise.

The alien could barely contain his excitement. He hurried and asked the boy genius: "Are you a carbon based life-form?! Does your planet have water? Have you got a sun? Which one do you breathe, methane or oxygen?!"

The boy, just as if he was taking a school exam, answered every and each one of Labula's questions excitedly.

"Here I come, Earth! Get ready for your new Asterialian Overlords! " - Labula said, as he engaged warp speed and headed towards Earth.

---Gaia Labs, 1 year ago---

"Let me out! I'm the military commander of the Asterialians! It's against Intergalactic Law to run these experiments on me! We will never be slaves! "

"No, no, not the spore, ouch! "

---2 months ago---

After finally breaking free from the Gaia experiments, Labula decided to put their Earth conquering plans to the side for a while. As it seems, Earthlings are more dangerous than one first thought.

Now might be the time to infiltrate them and learn about their arts, culture, and how they fight...
