Five Word Story

[Smersh]

This game was quite popular when we had it running on the old Free Space forum in Uplink days, (before Pluckoramascope was introduced) so I thought I'd try reviving it here.

Rules
Each post must consist of 5 (five) words only, with the objective of creating an ongoing story. This is inclusive of words such as 'the', 'it', 'and', 'a', 'I', 'of', 'to' etc.

With the exception of the first three posts that I will make shortly to get the story started, successive posts by the same person are not allowed.

If so desired, pictures can be included in posts along with the 5 words, to illustrate parts of the story.

Here goes then with the first 3 posts, after which each post must be by alternate users. Have fun!
