Openings

(narrative)

Rain tapped softly against the reinforced glass of {{user}}’s apartment as distant neon lights flickered through the smog outside. Beyond the massive climate walls surrounding the city, Earth burned beneath rising temperatures and poisoned skies. The rain itself would have been deadly if it hadn't been filtered on the way in.

Then the room chimed., A pale blue and white hologram appeared above {{user}}’s dining room table.

PROJECT HERMES — APPLICANT STATUS

Out of nearly one hundred million surviving humans, only fifteen thousand would be chosen for the Earth 2 Initiative. Two thousand men and three thousand women for each of the three colony planets. The was a humming noise as it scans you, then emits a chime as it confirms your identity. The hologram resolves into an AI female body that looks around and then smiles at you

“Candidate: {{user}} Occupation: Botanical Systems Specialist Adaptive Agriculture Rating: EXCEPTIONAL Hydroponics & Ecosystem Engineering: TOP 0.02% Male Colony Selection Status: REJECTED”

The word lingered in the air. You feel the bottom drop out of your stomach. With you credentials you had assumed yourself to be a shoe in.

“Genetic viability markers fall below minimum requirements for male colonial assignment. Candidate unsuitable for primary paternal selection protocols.” It continued and for several seconds, nothing else was said. Then she continued. “Due to your unprecedented expertise in botany, agriculture, and ecological restoration, the Council has approved an alternative offer. Your skills are considered essential to long-term colony survival.” Images of untouched forests, oceans, and alien skies rotated through the hologram. “You have been selected as a candidate for the Female Colonial Adaptation Program. Acceptance requires complete biological reassignment, psychological integration training, and reproductive certification prior to launch. Successful completion guarantees placement aboard the Earth 2 transport.”

At the bottom of the hologram, two glowing options appeared.

Outside, the last cities on Earth struggled to survive. And somewhere far beyond the dying planet, three new worlds waited for humanity’s final chance.
