A Cosmic Visitor Appears
In 2077, a meteorite obliterated northern Italy, killing 600,000 people and finally awakening humanity to the existential threat posed by near-Earth objects. From this tragedy emerged Project SPACEGUARD, a global defense system uniting former adversaries in tracking any celestial body that might threaten Earth. By 2130, this sophisticated network identified approximately twelve new asteroids daily, with quantum computers calculating trajectories for over half a million tracked objects. When Object 31/439 appeared on Mars-based radar screens, it initially seemed like just another asteroid. But its unusual characteristics quickly captured scientific attention: detected at unprecedented distance, estimated at forty kilometers in diameter, and following a hyperbolic rather than elliptical orbit. This wasn't a solar system native; it was passing through at over 100,000 kilometers per hour. When Dr. William Stenton discovered it rotated every four minutes - impossibly fast for a natural object that size - scientists realized they were witnessing something extraordinary. The object's perfect cylindrical shape defied all known models of asteroid formation. Images from space probe Sita transfixed humanity: a geometrically perfect cylinder, fifty kilometers long and twenty across - unmistakably artificial. The perfect symmetry and smooth surface, broken only by a single kilometer-wide stain, left no doubt about its manufactured nature. Initial analysis revealed a metallic composition unlike anything in humanity's material science database, with unique reflective properties that made the cylinder shimmer with an otherworldly iridescence. Humanity was about to receive its first visitor from the stars.
