In the Galaxy of UJN-9813, near the solar system of TYQ-368b, an aircraft floats. It's an aircraft nearly the size of a dwarf planet. In it, there is a race of beings similar to humans known as Florbs. You see, Florbs are an interesting race. They are far more intelligent than the human race, and have developed many mechanisms to prove this. A material powerful enough to withstand wormhole transport, a warp drive that is not only as fast as light, but 2x as fast as light.
One of The Florbs' most powerful creations are the I-Bots. Short for the Intelligence Bots. These bots surely earn their name, because they, much like the Florbs themselves, are far more intelligent than the human race. The amount of tasks the I-Bots can complete are far too immense.
And so, the aircraft floats.
And floats.
And floats.
But perhaps for too longo ¦
The ship had unknowingly slipped into a belt of asteroids.
One shield down. That's okay, right?
Two shields down. That's not good.
Three shields down. Uh oh. The ship was venerable. Another asteroid pounded into the cockpit of the ship, its main source of power. The ship's power was now down, and drifting helplessly through outer space. And so, the ship was sucked into the orbit of a nearby planet, and soon enough it was hurtling towards the planet's surface. Remember everyone, even the most intelligent of species make mistakes. The ship crash landed, and it was everything but soft and pleasing.
Not much survived. The remains of the Florbs and I-Bots were scattered about the planet. However, there was one who survived. I-Bot #732b. It is a shell of its former self, quite literally. It has wandered the planet for many Florbian years, searching for a Florb to serve.
