I''m making the plot for this game, was wondering what u guys think of it. Here it goes: The year is 2137. Mankind has spread outward from Earth and is colonizing the galaxy. Things seem to be going good for the human race. They''ve recently won a war with a dangerous alien race: The Mersiji and have begun trading with other more powerful aliens. Humanity is ruled by a central government: The Earth Alliance and is peaceful for the most part. The brilliant scientist Frederick Fletcher has recently found a way to harness the power of stars to create a reliable, cheap and virtually infinite energy source. Suddenly a secret renegade organization called Xerxes seizes power. They kidnap Fletcher and take control of Persephone - a small bleak planet in the Sirius Star System with a population of 500,000. They then force Fletcher to build a weapon powered by this exotic energy source that can destroy any planet within the range of 100 lightyears. As of May 16, 2137 this weapon is ready at any moment to destroy Earth and is currently blackmailing the Earth Alliance into submission. Alien allies have promised to help Earth, but their fleets will take too long to get here. The Earth Alliance has only one option: To send in their best covert agent to infilitrate Xerxes, rescue Fletcher and destroy the Weapon. The fate of the human race rests in this agent''s hands. He must succeed. Bugboy

Hmm. I like Bool''s option B. He can steal some great stuff (outfit him like the Master Chief ) and they can be tracking him down with a vengeance.

Yes, it''s not all that realistic that Earth justs sends one agent. I would have a large group get sent and get massacred shortly after arriving. Obviously the player character would survive and try to go through with the mission. This way you can have the occasional good guy who also survived pop up and help the player. It''s always cool to have ''drones'' on your side, comp players that help you get through, like the marines in HALO.

BTW, a cut-scene video of the agents getting massacred would be a great way to get the player in the game, the agents don''t go down easy and there''s a nifty battle.
