Story Summary

Super Nova is a story about a man being chased by drones, police, military personnel, U.S. Marshals, and agents from the CIA, FBI, and Homeland Security. Is the player being chased by an evil antagonist who drives a black ’69 Chevy Nova SS, or is the car itself alive, killing anyone and destroying anything in its path to find the protagonist? This is a story of a man to find out the truth behind the musical distortions that permeate reality.

At the end of the narrative, we find out that it is thousands of years in the future and the protagonist is an alien pilot lost in a holographic trance state in which he is exploring Earth’s history as J. Solomon, our protagonist. While deep in a holographic exploration of the information his probe is sending back, our sun goes critical and is about to explode in one titanic explosion— a supernova! The massive radiation emanating from the dying star has made the ship’s computer malfunction, turning off the autopilot and losing direct communication with the pilot on the holodeck. In an attempt to reach Solomon and make him aware of reality, the ship has inserted a murderous sentient Chevy Nova to chase after him to represent the inevitable supernova explosion of the sun.

He then uses clues from his ship’s computer to finally wake up from his semi—dream state and escape the supernova.
