The Alzas were living in the shadow of a UESPA lithium cracking station.  The Borus had intercepted an automated mining vessel from Earth and reprogrammed it to strip the Alzas home planet of minerals, especially the element, lithium. Captain April and Captian Garrett explore the 3rd planet of the Ophiucus Prime system. The leader of the Alzas (ZZlzs) VVeanne, tells the humans the account of the appearance of the automated mining equipment on their homeland under the direction of the Borus in 2248 Isaiah 55:12 CSB — You will indeed go out with joy and be peacefully guided; the mountains and the hills will break into singing before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.   Credits: Colony by PETIPET Outpost 94 at DAZ Shuttlecraft by Tony Olivera Background buildings by Dr. Moebius
