Ballad of the Starcrossed Miner
|
|
"The Ballad of the Starcrossed Miner" is a poem from the Infocom interactive fiction game Planetfall. It appears at a critical juncture in the game's plot. :O, they ruled the solar system :Near ten thousand years before :In their single starcrossed scout ships :Mining ast'roids, spinning lore. :Then one true courageous miner :Spied a spaceship from the stars :Boarded he that alien liner :Out beyond the orb of Mars. :Yes, that ship was filled with danger :Mighty monsters barred his way :Yet he solved the alien myst'ries :Mining quite a lode that day. :O, they ruled the solar system :Near ten thousand years before :'Til one brave advent'rous spirit :Brought that mighty ship to shore. The ballad itself refers to another Infocom interactive fiction game, Starcross, and sets the timeline relative to that earlier title. |
