Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible.

About This Quote

Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science fiction is the improbable made possible. So, you are traveling into space for the first time to see an alien planet. You circle it completely, looking out at its incredible scenery, and seeing the beauty of its environment.

Suddenly, your ship is knocked out of orbit by an alien spacecraft. You wake up on their planet, but once you recover, you find that this is not your home planet of Earth (or anywhere else). Where are you? How did you get here? What is the purpose of this journey? Where are your friends and family back home? Where did this spacecraft come from? You begin to get answers to these questions, but then there are more that come into your mind.

Where are the other planets in this galaxy? Why has this spacecraft chosen you to be part of their mission?
