Description
It is now 3738.
Man has been in the stars for 547 years.
All thought out history man has never learned one thing.
Now we find out that this is not just "man" but all things or people.
The name of this planet is Zi-beta #4.
The planet and Spire was discovered by Vice Captain Gene "vince" Vincent.
No one knew what the spire meant or why it was there.
4 large smooth boulders surround it at a perfect 90 degrees each.
This alone got the Space military to think that it had found a source of "New" Weapons.
The Scientist wanted to study it 1st and the Military wanted it.
This was a beautiful planet, with much of it's own plants and animals.
Now it's a waste land.
The War for this planet started when the kids would not share.
Millions of lives were destroyed and at last count 127 type M-4 planets were destroyed.
In the end when no one wanted to fight any more, they sent people in to find out what it was.
They found it was made of X11-Com14, A common element.
No secret doors, the spire was solid rock.
The expression of the day was "We must learn from this."
Will they?
This planet is still named Zi-beta #4, but it is called "The Folly"
