Description

As Earth's biome crumbles, humanity fails to develop the technologies necessary to stop an impending climate disaster.

Faced with widespread starvation and environmental ruin, a radical faction seeks to preserve a segment of humankind by unleashing a deadly virus, targeting the vast heterosexual majority in a drastic attempt to reduce the population and save the planet. However, this extreme measure falls short of halting the escalating environmental catastrophe.

With the planet deteriorating rapidly, the remnants of humanity embark on a daring exodus.

They set off on a 6,000-year journey to the nearest habitable planet outside our solar system.

This epic voyage, devoid of star or warp drive, demands a completely self-sustaining environment, where everything, including the colonists themselves, must be recycled. Amidst this backdrop, one man finds himself an outsider on this formidable journey, constrained by strict rules governing all aspects of life, including reproduction, which is meticulously controlled to preserve the colony’s genetic health.

Defying these regulations, he forms a clandestine relationship, leading to the conception of an unauthorized child.

This grave breach of protocol poses a moral dilemma for the crew: how should they deal with this infraction, and what consequences will their decision have for the future of their fragile society?

This narrative explores the complexities of survival, ethics, and human relationships in the face of a daunting interstellar challenge.
