Fiction:Point of Entry

'Point of Entry', written and created by Spore user TSC0308, is a work of fiction that is based around the Spore universe. It was originally designed to be a saga of Adventures, however, TSC found that he was unable to upload adventures or captains for technical reasons. As a result, he created and recorded the missions in-game, planning to upload them both to Spore wiki, and a new YouTube channel. The project surrounds the fictional character Trey Johnson, and the events that unfold as he attempts to escape, and eventually destroy, a hideous lifeform that lurks within an abandoned ship. TSC recorded all the created adventures using the in-game record mechanic. Although filming is complete, he has not yet announced the release date for the videos. However, he has already announced the plotline and events that happen within the series.

Plot
The videos do not include any prologue to the missions or backstory, which caused TSC to write a prologue for events.

Prologue
Trey Johnson, an engineer and stellar repairman, resides on board a small repairs tug that is assigned to a starbase in deep space. On one day, new orders come through to him from the starbase command; that a large freighter has shut down its communications with any other bodies, and has lost all power. Judging it to be a systems failure, and seeing as it has not been repaired for over a day, the starbase assigns Trey to rendezvous with the freighter and carry out repairs. While Trey approaches the craft, which is drifting in orbit around a star several jumps away, he checks it up in his database: revealing it to be the Courier. The ship had been delivering mined ore from an asteroid base to a newly established colony on the outskirts of the cluster. Halfway on its journey, the ship had ceased all communications and the engines had shut down, leaving it drifting around a yellow main sequence star. As Trey approaches, he sees that the ship is drifting almost vertically allowing him to assume that no one was manning the ship's helm. The Courier is revealed to be a collosal ship: a good five kilometres from bow to stern. Johnson also observes a strange black material that almost completely covers the massive cargo doors of the ship, as well as other areas of the hull plating. When Johnson attempts to communicate with the ship, all that comes back is static. Assuming that the comm arrays are also damaged, he pulls his craft up to begin repairs. At that moment, an explosion rips out of one of the cargo bays and throws a storm of debris at Trey's ship, causing fatal damage to the craft. Some of the black material also is thrown onto the viewscreen and appears to attempt to shatter it as it rears up. At this point, Trey manages to crash the ship into one of the small hanger bays, where he immidietly falls unconscious.

Gameplay
The gameplay of 'Point of Entry' has the same game mechanics of any other created Adventure in Spore, however, it has had different forms of puzzle solving and tactics incorporated into it. The environment is entirely closed and the player must often take care around corners,
