The year is 2050. Earth was devastated by a chain of cataclysmic events leading to a pandemic collapse of governments. The human race colonize Mars and Venus, narrowly escaping with technology amassed by mega-corporations during Earth's final days. As Venus becomes home to the working class, and Mars the seat of power, two friends enlisted in the Mars Defense Directorate uncover the first signs of civil unrest. Humankind finds itself once again at the crossroads of extinction as.... VENUS RISES.
Venus Rises Series 1 is broken down into three contiguous episodes. Ancillary shorts, dubbed 'Interspace' episodes, are released asynchronous to the main episodes, revealing past events alluded to during the course of the show. Series 1 follows five characters of Venutian and Martian origins: Demille Onaar the engineer, Aeriana Onaar a deaf pilot and hacker, Kylara Marinn the scientist, Private Sam Reegan, and Sergeant Nathan Griggs; All of whom play a pivotal role in the escalating conflict. Can five strangers put aside their differences to stop a war of worlds?
MINING HAULER IKARUS: is a massive mining ship designed to seek out asteroids, latch onto them with its 'tail' and then mine the asteroid for valuable ores, water, and silicates. The surface of the asteroid is blasted by Ikarus' plasma drive then conveyed up to the large hexagonal factory section. In the factory section the ores are separated, smelted, and refined and then deposited in purified form into containers attached along the upper and lower sides.
Who I'd like to meet: People who enjoy science-fiction.

Are any of you guys going to podcamp NYC? I know you all are from NJ. The Guru of an episodic web-based show that I'm loosly involved with will be speaking and he is quickly becoming a 'rockstar' of sorts in the new media community because of his progressive attitude towards the future of web based content. Check out his blog on the STBD website. I'm looking at what you all are doing and think VR is a very worthy addition to the community. Welcome, and put out that damned first episode already:)

Oh, hello and howdy. This is just your friendly neighborhood Cannibill dropping by. I was just poking around, digging under some stones, searching some dark corners; noticing a few things. Like, are you going to eat that? You know, it’s a little bit of this and a little bit of that. And, if you’re interested, I just thought I’d mention that you have a lovely place here. Well-crafted, functional, creative and with merit written all over this canvas. Hope you don’t mind, but I was hungry and this seemed like a good spot to catch some prey (err food, err friends?) I certainly hope this doesn’t put you out in any way. Have fun. Play hard. Eat well, and keep your chainsaw in good working order; you’re going to need it. I hear that an army of the dead has recently been spotted heading this way. Humans: the other tasty meat container. Happy hunting. See ya later!
