The World of Blue Planet
Blue Planet takes place on the planet Poseidon in the Lambda Serpentis system, about 200 years in the
future. It's a hard sci-fi setting that envisions a world based on projected developments in real world technology.
Genetic advancements have awakened cetaceans to sentience, created animal/human hybrids, and created a new
transhuman elite.
Poseidon was found at the other end of a wormhole discovered at the edge of our solar system. A scientific
expedition went to explore and colonize the water world, however shortly thereafter on Earth, the Blight struck.
The Blight was caused when a genetically engineered virus mutated, attacked grain and other food plants, and
caused a worldwide famine. The recently established UN branch, the General Ecological Organization (GEO)
became a world government of sorts as many of the UN members ceased to exist during the long dark age
caused by the Blight.
Abandoned, the explorers slowly went native as their technology crumbled and their focus turned to survival.
When re-contact was eventually made, after the Blight was eradicated, a culture clash developed between the
natives and the new colonists. The natives choose to keep to their life-style, while colonists came, eager to
escape the dreary and decaying Earth. A trickle became a flood when Xenoscilite, or Long John, was
discovered. This ore made genetic redesign simpler and cheaper, and made immortality a real possibility for
those who could afford it. Now the planet is in the throes of rapid expansion caused by the 'gold rush' of Long
John, with all the opportunities and dangers that come with it.
The GEO is nominally in charge of Poseidon. Various Incorporates, which rule their nationalized city-states
on Earth, also vie for control of Poseidon. Some natives have formed terrorist groups to resist the land hungry
expansion. One example is the Sierra Nueva insurrection, a group of islands in open revolt against all non-
natives. With a comparative land mass of 3% versus 30% on Earth, these conflicts will determine the planet's
fate.
Brenda Turley
You went into medicine originally to become part of an Emergency Rescue Team. The thought of flying
around, helping out people who really needed it appealed to your nature - caring, with a bit of adrenaline junkie.
That dream was shattered on your first flight. You have Gulbranson's Syndrome, an incurable and severe type of
motion sickness. Flying or being on a boat disables you with nausea, vomiting, severe vertigo, and even
seizures. You take Peraloxine to help suppress the effect, but it is still too severe to let you fly, which
disqualified you from being an ERT.
Fortunately, being on a boat isn't as bad as flying. The medicine keeps you from getting sick about half the
time, the other half you feel nauseous and slightly dizzy. You got a job with a good salvage company out of
Second Try, as a medical technician. You like the job, and have grown to regard your crew as family. You're
closest with Sanderson, who seems to get hurt on every job, and you've gotten used to Lister barking orders, and
Muniz never shutting up about how aborigines are to blame for everything that goes wrong. Okay, so they're a
bit dysfunctional, but they're yours to take care of.
