At the Edge of the Universe Lies the Ultimate Prize. Beyond Time; Beyond Space; Beyond Your Imagination!
Our story begins in the year 2300. Jim Hawkins is a 12 year old boy who lives at home with his mother on a small island, which doubles as a navigational beacon for incoming space craft and as a boarding house for weary travellers. Their longest resident, space conductor Billy Bones is a retired old man who spent his youth exploring space, but now spends most of his time reminiscing and drinking a soluble alcohol based liquid called "drukk."
Years ago, Bones served under space pirate Captain Flint. On one of their pirate raids, they captured and looted a massive cargo ship called the "Bender", whose holds were full of precious metals and gems. With far too much loot to safely carry or fence all in one go, Flint ordered the crew to set course for an isolated planet.
Flint had Bones draw up a map containing the coordinates of the planet and gave a series of cryptic clues as to where it could be found.
