Their home planet of Acreon is situated about 50 million light-years away from earth in the Crius 12 Galaxy. The whole planet is highly radioactive as the Gyreck can only dwell and settle in radioactive locations. They are a swarming species and when threatened will kill anything.
Storyline- Beginning The story begins after the Gyreck have attacked earth. They have been in control of earth for the past 14 months and have driven humans underground to live in a city called Los Mortes. Nate and Natalie have been given a task to look for materials that will help create a missile to launch at the Gyreck mother ship. This missile contains a drug called the GRD1 –Genetic Radioactive Defence 1. It is used to counteract the effects of radioactivity. The war office is planning to launch an attack on the Gyreck as soon as the materials have been acquired. They are about to embark on their mission when Michaels talks to Nate and asks to go with them, So all three of them get the GRD1 injection and head off into the desolate radioactive dust clouds that cover the place they once called home.

The Gyreck ships all fall from the sky and the remaining Gyreck on the ground all go into hiding. 5 years later (subtitle) Humans have started to re-populate and Earth is being transformed through the use of further developed versions of the GRD1… End
Reason For Choosing This Drama I like the idea of a sci-fi radio drama because they are always exciting and have a bigger opportunity for the listener to get a more defined mental picture and provide an ‘out of this world’ experience.
Target Audience The TA for this production is male teenagers between the ages of 14 and 19, this is because the story is based around a war scene and the style of writing amplifies the action and storyline for younger minds. It could be seen as an action horror by some listeners and for this reason has been given the TA age range.
