Plot
In Manhattan, New York City, the Forde Residence comes under attack by a mysterious alien who murders Rick and Sharon Forde, the parents of ten year old Zack Forde. As the only witness, Zack is drawn into various investigations and legal cases, where he described the suspect as pink, slimy and extra-terrestrial. As a result of the tragic story, the people of Earth are left to question if they are truly alone in the universe. Over the next twelve years, Zack Forde dedicates his life to exploring the unknown, specifically extra-terrestrial activity. Becoming a public speaker, Forde becomes famous mostly for his retelling of his alien encounter claims but has since become a rather successful businessman for his own brand. During this time, Forde appears on numerous talk shows and often appears at various charitable events or educational facilities to give talks about his own beliefs on alien life. In 2016, Forde is nominated by the public to participate in an inclusive charity program. The program, created by NASA, will see those elected become the first humans on the planet Mars. However, the spacecraft that Forde and his crew are on loses communication with NASA on Earth and never returns. The crew is pronounced dead, and a memorial is held at Central Park in New York City, but some people believe that Forde was still alive. In the present day, five years after the incident, Forde awakens from a nap onboard his ship, Beyoncé, and admires the passing stars and planets while in hyperspeed. Eventually, Forde realises that has five missed calls, and soon answers the sixth call. J'Oliver, a member of the Talons, has called Forde to remind him that he still owes money to Captain Grinway. Forde tries to explain that he has planned an elaborate heist for all parties involved to get larger earnings, but J’Oliver cuts him off, ordering Forde to simply send Grinway the money. Forde soon travels to a remote moon base. Despite the moon’s rough appearance, it is actually home to some of the most highly respected architects in the galaxy. Forde successfully breaks into the base and steals some of the data banks with their best designs, one of which contains the floor plan of a location Forde intends to visit at a later date. He manages to quickly escape from the base’s guards, who give chase to him but are swallowed by a giant worm underneath the moon’s surface. Forde then sets course for the planet Edin.
