  -Jack, Maverick, & The Luck Ring
  Enter the Milky Way Galaxy in the year 2418, where space travel has become as commonplace as driving a car. The planets and moons are being explored in search of alien artifacts and treasure. With discoveries of unrefined materials and ancient remnants of civilizations being found all throughout the galaxy, treasure hunting has become a wildly popular career. Human beings live close to 200 years, thanks to science and engineering, and although only the rich enjoy it, robotic bodies are available for purchase. However, amidst all of the discovery and change, scientists discovered a quality that was most surprising; no matter how they transfer a brain or essence through robotic bodies or machines, at 199 years 364 days the patient dies instantly as the clock changes over. No matter the preservation or care, the brain simply loses all electrical charges and life escapes into mystery. Over time this developed into the term "CEL" or, Cerebral Escape Limitation. Commonly known as "Brain Limit". This condition perplexes scientists and the world as it stands in the way of achieving even longer lifespans. In a world where disease is very nearly non-existent, where everyone has a great deal of land due to the colonization of the solar system and efficiency of space travel, people are even more enthusiastic about living their lives as long as they possibly can. A byproduct of humanity being in this position is that only planetary societies tend to be lawful and follow a leader. In general, interplanetary space is a lot like the wild west, and the age of pirates. So as you can imagine, travel can be somewhat dangerous and treasure hunters are either very brave or naughty...naughty...NAUGHTY! With that in mind, this story will follow two fellows; one by the name of Jack Huddleston, the other by the name of Maverick Duvall. Jack is your treasure hunter, descended from a long line of treasure hunters who began to explore the galaxy as soon as technology made it possible. Jack has been searching for treasure since he was born and with success even, but his ultimate prize is the thing his father Jack Sr. died searching for, the Luck Ring. His father told little Jack about the ring when he was a child, explaining that statistically, it must exist, and that while not all it's powers are known, its believed to bend the very fabric of the Universe to benefit the wearer. Now Jack travels the galaxy in search of the ring, using his father's maps and tools to find it. Maverick, on the other hand is the owner of the Jupiter Casino. He lives on beautiful Jupiter, and rules the planet with his large white teeth. He too knows of this artifact, and seeks to obtain it for himself. Maverick has acquired many treasures in his life, all the origins unknown, scattered throughout the cosmos, but never has he found the ring. Now, these men find themselves headed for Mercury. The annual treasure hunters convention is this Thursday and neither Jack nor Maverick would dare miss any information on juicy treasure, especially if it had to do with 'you know what'. Naturally Jack is flying in the family ship, rusty grey in color and roughly the shape of a bass guitar, he rides in the spot the neck pickup would occupy, while his co-pilot (Wendy) rides with him. Wendy is about 5 feet tall, smooth rubbery exterior and cold electrical insides. A small blonde wig sits on her pinkish head, and her eyes are black and robotic. The two of them sit at the controls as they see the huge lineup of ships preparing to dock on Mercury for the convention. As the sun glares harshly in the distance, Jack lowers his eye protectors down as they descend into traffic. Wendy begins phoning ahead for a motel room. Meanwhile Maverick lounges in a big chair on his ship, while his pilots navigate him past the traffic and down to the planet's surface. His ship is shaped like an eagle with its wings spread and beak pointed straight out. The control room lies in the skull of the bird, while the living quarters are inside its body. Maverick looks down upon the small planet, which is essentially now one giant convention, and lowers his protective visor over his eyes. Off in the control room a man shouts angrily into the phone, negotiating the finest hotel room for Maverick. Mercury is a metropolis with beautiful megastructures and its overfilling with people because of this event. The terrasphere protecting Mercury has turned it into a tourist trap, and is now considered the ultimate resort destination. In a way, it feels very much to them like they're descending down into a red Florida, riding along in their spaceships to attend an interplanetary treasure hunting convention, in order to gain information on a specific item that has eluded them both for decades.....yeah. That's almost exactly how they feel. ... more
