As many of you have probably noticed while conducting your business throughout the different areas of the Cosmodrome, there are many skeletons. The first mission has skeletons located in the bumper to bumper gridlock of cars; in fact you were one of these less than fortunate souls when you were reanimated by your ghost. There are skeletons sitting at control panels and on benches within the several Cosmodrome structures. I find this odd and it adds more mystery to a question that has been on my mind from the time I completed the story. What exactly happened here? Two points stand out in my mind when I observe these remains. First, they were in the process of conducting normal, or in this case emergency, daily functions when they died. They are manning their stations at the control panels. Please disregard the pun, but they might have been an emergency skeleton crew attempting to finish whatever mission that was being conducted at the moment. Possibly a mass off world evacuation was being attempted. Second, I believe they were aware of the imminent catastrophic event that was approaching. The rows of cars appear to be a massive traffic jam, the kind we see during the evacuation of large cities when a natural disaster, such as a hurricane, is eminent. In both cases it appears they were all killed instantly and in massive numbers. It is as if a switch was flipped ending their lives as fast as a light shuts off. What power does our enemy possess that is capable of causing death on this scale and in this level of epic totality? Was it a biological weapon, a weapon of pure destructive energy, or a massive military force executing mass genocide on earth’s population? Did this happen on a world wide scale simultaneously or was it regional? What do you think happened? Edit: Grammar correction.
