<h3>The Story</h3>
<p>It is 1895 and you are a member of the British Space Expedition.
You receive the following letter from your long-time friend
and leader, Sir Phileas T. Verne.
<p>
<blockquote>
<i>The First of October, 1895</i>
<p>My dear friend,
<p>As you know, today we celebrate the opening of our first
colony on the new world of Vaporia, some 20,000 light-years from
England. Our colony is truly the most advanced structure that
Science can create - a city on an alien world, entirely powered
by steam from the planet's core. It has taken us five long years
to get here by rocket-ship, and like the great Explorers before us,
we shall make this foreign land our home: a new outpost of the Empire!
<p>As my most trusted lieutenant, I leave you in sole charge of the
new city, while I begin exploration of Vaporia. There is much to be done:-
you must expand the city, but before you can do that, you'll have to
secure better supplies of steam.
<p>I wish you the best of luck, but must warn you that we may not be
alone on Vaporia! I have detected evidence of civilisation here, so
you may need to defend yourself. But I have faith in your abilities,
my friend!
<p>The steam must flow,
<p>Yours,
<p>(signature) Phileas T. Verne
