The basic outline of ‘Platinum Penguin’ is as follows: A colony of Penguins have marched across the arctic to their seasonal home on the cliff-face. They are here to enjoy the great lifegiving power of the underlying resource, Elana. A mysterious energy force that adds health and power to all who come in contact. Villani, a corporate mogul has discovered this Elana. He wants to take over the cliff-face. Harvest and drain the Elana like an oilfield and then sell as a new energy source. Thus destroying the natural balance and all the arctic dwellers. He raids the cliff-face, Kidnapping a few young Penguins. These are then transformed into Genetically altered Superstrong and smart combatants as part of the PLATINUM PENGUIN project. After they have been altered it is their job to mine the Elana from under the cliff face and return it to the naval ship and then Villani brings back to the market place. and Makes himself very wealthy ignoring the obvious plight he is subjecting the rest of the environment to. The Cliff-face is suffering terribly under these circumstances and their does not seem to be much that they can do to defend themselves. Enter Zen Kimo a mysterious and wise eskimo, who brings his particular brand of wisdom, spirituality and combat skills to help the underfire colony. In one of the battles he liberates a Platinum Penguin ‘Flick’ from the obvious mind control. Flick escapes the ship and makes his way back to the colony. Zen reintegrates Flick back into the colony and begins training him to become a more harmonious warrior in order to lead the colony in an uprising. The colony prepares itself for the final showdown. Zen, Easy, Pup, Flick and the rest of the colony use all within their power to rescue their captured brethren. Stop the pillage of Elana  and send the ruthless Villani and his  army back to where they came from. But it wont be easy Villani has made himself more than a man, able to transform himself into a polar beast with his technology. They must use all in their power to save the day.
