Hello. Is there anything you would like to know?

• Tell me about the Elysium Project.
• Tell me about Demra.
• Tell me about the missing First Wavers.
• No, thank you.

The Elsyium Project was founded in 1971 by the twenty-four year old entrepreneur David Spencer. Spencer grew up during the cold war and was disturbed by the atmosphere of suspicion and control that permeated all aspects of culture. He dreamed of a world without big business and large governmental projects. It would be a world where individuals could peacefully coexist and shape the future with their innovations.

He presented this idea at the Sands-Werthiem conference and was initially met with ridicule for his young age and idealism. However he was afterwards approached by a group of scientists and entrepreneurs who had seen the potential in his idea.''

• So what happened to them?

They formed a group called the Elysium Alliance. With the assistance of some wealthy backers they were able to purchase some Polynesian islands under the pretext of building a resort for the wealthy. For a period of two years, they developed the islands and began recruiting other like-minded individuals to join them.

In 1974 they moved to the islands and began to develop their society which they called Elysium. For the next twelve years, Elysium prospered and grew. New technologies were invented, but they were kept a closely guarded secret by the Elysians who worried that they might fall into the wrong hands.

One of these technologies was an anti-aging serum which David Spencer himself volunteered to be a test subject for. The serum was quite effective and David didn't physically age a day beyond twenty-nine.

Another of these techonologies was the AUTT that you used to travel here.

• If Elysium was so great, then why aren't we there?

Word of the technologies the Elysians were developing made it to the outside world. The existing world powers, including Russia, the United States, and China, were afraid that Elysium would prove a threat. They joined forced to bring an end to Elysium. That is when the troubles began.

I have been programmed to proceed with caution when asked about Demra. Allow me to scan the area for eavesdroppers before I proceed.
Scanning...Alright, there is noone close enough to hear us.

Demra is a secret society of mercenaries. Noone knows who their leader is or where they came from. All that is known is that they were hired to sabotage Elysium and steal our technology.

The Elysium Alliance was concerned that our technologies would fall into the wrong hands. They instructed Dr Russo and her team to develop the AUTT so that citizens of Elysium could flee Earth and escape their oppressors.

David Spencer and a team of Elysians volunteereed to be the initial test subjects for the AUTT. the Alliance was concerned for David's safety, as he was the figurehead for Elysium, so they allowed him to go. However, there was a malfunction and the location and status of these individuals is unknown.

• Then what happened?

The AUTT was fixed and a team, you know them as the First Wave, was dispatched to this area. When the team confirmed that this location was a viable place for the colony, the rest of Elysium followed them.

Team Sigma Lambda Kai Ro 705. which included team members Dr Russo, Tom Shepherd, Bess Mackenzie, Dr Xiao Liang, Dr Kylon, Takahashi, Dr Lopez, DiNapoli, Gregory, Chen and Arthur Sorensen are called the First Wave because they were the first team of colonists to journey to Next Island.

There was a malfunction with the AUTT, Dr Russo believes it was tampered with, and some of the team didn't arrive as they were supposed to. Takahashi and Lopez arrived in the wrong location. DiNapoli, Gregory and Chen are still missing.
