CARGO 3120 Chapter One

CARGO3120_INDICATOR-1by Aaron Walker Sr.

This weather sucks, Marcus La’Dek thought as he and his partner Daren West negotiated the muddy road leading to the target Mining Facility.  The ground had been reduced to something of a black sludge, thanks in no small part to the torrential downpour that had been battering the moon’s northern hemisphere for the past twelve hours.  But the deluge brought with it more than mere soggy conditions.  A grayish, almost eerie mist comprised of unidentified particulates, always seemed to accompany the rains, making it difficult to see more than five feet in any direction. Due to the thick haze, the use of advanced image processing goggles, commonly referred to as IPGs, were an absolute necessity.

Marcus was quite impressed with the overall performance of the goggles. With the exception of a slight yellow hue, the IPGs provided remarkable clarity under virtually any condition. But given the option, he’d rather have donned his own tactical eyewear, as they were far superior to the IPGs in every way. But alas, blending in was the name of the game for this mission, so he was okay with settling for less.

Particle Storms are what the inhabitants of the moon called this atmospheric phenomena.  Most experts attributed the mist to the failing methane scrubbers of Titan’s problematic Terraforming Modules.  Of course, further research would be required to know for sure, but it was unlikely the Interstellar League of Planets (ISL) would spend the time or money on such a study.  After all, Titan – Saturn’s largest ISL terraformed moon – was dedicated for one purpose: The mining of what is galactically known as the lifeblood of terraformed planets and moons: Krillium Ore.  As long as environmental conditions on the surface didn’t cause the moon’s populace to drop dead in droves, business as usual would continue, regardless of the numerous complaints lodged with the ISL.Taxpayer dollars hard at work, Marcus thought as he adjusted the hood of his jet-black poncho, which covered the tactical gear that clothed his muscular frame. read article

by Daymond C. Roman

Okay, so it’s been quite a while since either Aaron or I have written a blog. And I guess the lesson in all of that is in how staying consistent can really be one of the hardest things that anyone can plan to do. But, as long as one decides to keep standing, no matter what, progress will be made.

Since our last entry we have both faced many obstacles that have taken us away from this project. Not entirely, but more than we would have liked. However, as I alluded earlier, we’ve continued to stand. And this time we’ve decided to come up with yet another strategy to get this story out into the world.

And our plan is this, in addition to the full e-books you can purchase (as they’re released) we will also release chapters of the story every month on our website for free. That way, you can either keep up with the story here every month or purchase the e-books to stay ahead of the game. We also plan to release sections in other forms of media as the story unfolds, such as: graphic novel, 2D/3D animation, and even live action (we’ll be discussing more of that in the future as we get closer to producing those forms of the story). read article

It’s CARGO 3120 Day

ISL-Complete2

Longtime TVWriter™ visitors may recall that LB and the minions here have always had a soft spot for the writing of Aaron Walker Sr. and Daymond C. Roman and CARGO 3120, the project they’ve been struggling with for a couple of years now.

Originally intended as a television series, then a live-action web series, then an animated web series, and then a weekly web comic, this fascinating science fiction premise has had tough going…not because of any lack of talent behind it but because of, well, a problem all of us probably know all too well: read article
