Alright hows this for a plot?

The Xenonians created the Star Generator as a fix for stars burning out.
This can't be the only place this has happened right? Well, the Xenonians
are sent millions of letters from less fortunate planets that also have
burning out stars. The Xenonians are forced to create a Star Generator for
so many people (or suffer from lots of hate-mail and red tape) that they
create a "Life Star" that can actually create a star out of a useless
planet. But it doesn't go to plan as someone loads a game called Half-Life
into the super computer they found floating in space. On it is Sludge Vohaul
and he takes over the mainframe, kinda like the guys finding LSL and loading
Vohaul in SQ4/12. Maybe we could have Elmo put him in the computer instead
since everyone in the boards seems to want that guy. Anyway Vohaul instantly
takes over the Life Star, makes it into a "Death Star" and begins blowing up
planets.

Meanwhile, Wilco, who is working as a janitor onboard the Star creator
thingie wakes up in the janitors closet and is contacted by a mysterious
female AI (call it SHODARN, SHOTIME, SHOGIRL, or something silly, its a
System Shock 2 ripoff.) The AI was the original handler of the computer
systems and is fighting to regain control.

This could lead to lots of zippy advetures.

A cool thing to implement would be Roger being in a escape pod like the one
in SQ1 and is at some time forced to push the "Don't Push!" button and is
sent to daventry where he knocks the peice of the mask falling towards
Connor so it falls to King Graham instead. Thus causing KQ8 to be a real
adventure game. Maybe to silly but he should go to daventry.
