The Story
Far back in the mists of time, the ancient race of Shee left Albia, in search of a new home, in a huge spaceship, the Ark. The Shee were not known for their timekeeping skills, and when the ship left, one Shee scientist was left behind on an empty planet. He'd been working on a new method for traveling from place to place and only noticed that the others had left when he was satisfied that his new device was fully functional.
He decided he had to follow the rest of the Shee and show them what they had missed, so he built a new living spaceship which he called Capillata.
And then, the last of the Shee traveled on, in his eternal quest for the Shee. Time is a funny thing, however. One day it's moving along in a dependable straight line and then, Bam!, all of a sudden it takes a sharp turn or does a loop. When the Capillata finally caught up with the Shee spaceship that had left one thousand years earlier, it was deserted. Apparently, the Grendels had attacked during the flight and the Shee escaped to their new planet's surface and abandoned the spaceship in orbit. How long had it been here?
The spaceship remains, with its new "attachment", and with your help the remaining Norns can thrive. But watch out for the Grendels, a vicious breed of nasty animals intent on hurting your Norns or even stealing their eggs! To help you you¿ll find advanced machines, all of which can be plugged together to make huge automated devices. The bridge and engineering contain an encyclopedic range of gadgets to help you protect your Norns. But watch out, even in a virtual universe, there's real danger!
