New new episode 2: Alpha Centauri

With for the sake of compressing the episodes down to be more concise I altered episode 2 again, slightly. Though I'd better upload it for the sake of continuity in my development work.

New:
With their first mission behind them the crew set off towards the nearest star - Alpha Centauri; a solar system of 2 stars, 5 lightyears away! Relieved that the ship's prototype engines worked as expected the crew's celebrations are cut when the ship's systems detect a 3rd star not visible from Earth that is actually closer to us - Proxima Centauri, which they scan before moving on to their original destination. While gathering enery from the 2 stars the crew receive another mysterious broken transmission, after analysing the signal they find out that it is an alien message over 3000 years old, but with no leads on the origin of the signal there is no choice but to continue to the next mission, the supermassive star Sirius.
