The Corruption.
A graphic novel
EPISODE 001 - prologue: at the edge of the solar system
An Astronaut is travelling through space to the edge of the solar system, where a noble being, tall with shiny multicoloured segments, compound eyes, and two enormous insectoid wings, stands guard at the gate to the solar system of Tellus - keeping the force-shield in place with his mind, aided by technology incomprehensible to lesser sentient beings. No ships can pass. The corruption, alien beings whose mouths have been shut for aeons, who can only speak with their minds, come through a portal to tempt the noble being to let the astronaut pass.
