Fiction

The Covenent of Primus

One day, Coldwelder was working on anenergonmine in theSea of Ages,but was interrupted from his work by a mysterious hovering ship. Although he tried to run, the rotating craft sucked him aboard using a magnetic clamp. Once he was aboard,somethinginjected a probe into his head, which had the side effect of badly wounding him. After awakening on the side of the road, he staggered to the nearest medical center inIacon,where he related his fantastic story to Junior Medical OfficerRatchetand Dr.Cogwheel.The two doctors sedated him and prepared for surgery. Their examination uncovered the alien probe, corroborating Coldwelder's tale. After removing the probe and repairing his injuries, Ratchet told Coldwelder not to spread the news so as to prevent planet-wide hysteria. This was rendered moot when the Quintessons publicly revealed themselves not long afterward.The Covenant of Primus

Notes

• Coldwelder's experience is heavily based on the enduring pop-cultural phenomenon ofalien abduction,and the urban legends of doctors uncovering"alien implants"in said abductees.
