Malcolm McDonnell grew up in a world before Contact, when we still thought we were alone in the universe. Then the Peloran brought medicines that nearly wiped out diseases, and extended the human lifespan into the centuries. They helped us study advanced technologies, and expand our colonies hundreds of lightyears from Earth. It was a golden age for mankind, but the Peloran were not the only ones who made Contact with us.
Four years after the first Shang attacks, Malcolm used his contacts, and some who did not know they were contacts, to make the Wolfenheim Project a reality. We had the ships we needed. We had the people we needed. We were ready to take humanity’s message back to the stars. No alien attack would silence us. We were coming.
Then the people funding the Wolfenheim Project found out they were funding the Wolfenheim Project and demanded their money back. That was when things started getting interesting. Malcolm McDonnell was not the kind of person to give up when the going got rough, you see.
