Leave, Earthmen—Or Die!

A veteran pilot, a seasoned navigator, and a battle‑scarred ex‑fighter team up for a daring colonisation run, spiralling toward a silent world that offers no sign of life. As their ship’s scanners sweep the barren surface, an eerie broadcast repeats a universal warning: “Leave, Earthmen—Or Die!” The crew’s attitudes clash, ranging from reckless bravado to uneasy doubt, as they decide whether to obey the ominous message or press on with their mission.

The alien voice, however, is disturbingly familiar—each man hears echoes of a loved one, a child, or an old rival, turning the warning into a personal haunting. Their radios crackle with the same cold warning, while they suit up for a descent into the unknown, the planet’s hostile terrain and the unknown defenders looming just beyond the horizon. The tension builds as they hover, poised between curiosity and caution, ready to confront whatever may be waiting for them below.
