Ancillary Narrative 2

ANCILLARY NARRATIVE MICRO-STORY #2
TITLE: “Phil Mundy: & The Fate of The Human-Race… Mostly”

CORRESPONDING MACRO-STORY BEAT: This story takes place in the background throughout our story-world's timeline. Events from the other stories have worldly effects on this story but are ultimately just background information, going on at the same time.

LOGLINE: When the earth is about to be destroyed and the only hope of survival is to sneak onto an advance government Spaceship, Phil, a lowly criminal with a heart of gold, must learn to blend-in with the rest of the crew or risk being blasted out of the airlock as a stollaway.

SHORT STORY SYNOPSIS:
Act 1: Our first act takes place during the "Pam Project" storyline. It follows a character named Phil trying to escape Earth before it's destroyed. The first act of the video game is Phil sneaking onto Pam and infiltrating the crew. He winds up managing to get himself a fake ID and a job working on the "Metal Coast" inside Pam's main dome. This is where we meet or antagonist, Baxter Newman and our love interest Sara Lang. This first act is a lot of "Assassin's Creed" type gameplay. You'll need to follow people around, gather information, perform quiet assassinations, and infiltrate secured areas.

Act 2: In Act 2 the game takes on more of an adventure/platform style. You control Phil as he supervises resource delivery to the Aquadytes. Help fix the weather machine on top of the “Forbidden Mountain”. Convince the “Ascended-Few” to let you return to the “Metal Coast”. Uncover Baxter Newman's evil plan. As well as many more missions/levels. Act two ends where Phil and Sara enter a cryogenic hibernation pod in order to survive the plague mentioned in one of our other stories.

Act 3: Phil wakes up hundreds of years later to discover PAM violently making its way through the nebula around planet “Gaia”. This event is covered in "Home Sweet Home: A Clones of Ark Saga". But from that story's point of view they make it through the nebula unscathed. But in reality the spaceship Pam would have been destroyed if it wasn't for the actions of Phil. Phil, along with Sara's help, manage to stabilize the supercollider under the dome, and keep it from overloading and destroying the entire ship. The tragedy is no one will ever know Phil and Sara's sacrifice. That's how the game ends. Pam lands safely on "Gaia".
