"DEPLOY, DEPLOY, DEPLOY!" A man said as he pulled on a green lever. The huge ships flew out of the cargo hangar. The world was going awry and they needed a better life. The 5 former Cargo Ships were now packed full of hopeful people wanting to start a new life.
The year 3067 was a bad year for most of the religous groups. The Ruler of the United States said that Religion was getting in the way of of us conquering the world. The Ruler's name was Ronald Doley he was a crazy old fellow but won the election by a landslide. In his firs year in office he was totally focused on getting the U.S perfect so he could take over the world.
Everyone was leaving Earth. It was going through a "Rough stage in the development of Humanity" or at least thats what the world leaders said.
"Where are we going?" a grumpy old man said, his legs sit limply in his wheelchair. No one really knew where they were going but they needed to leave now. The huge ships were blasting out to space. There was enough food to last for a few years but after that they would starve. Although they were flying at about 10,000 miles an hour, it would be years until they found another planet outside this solar system. there was little noise coming from all of the ships. They knew it would be a very long time until they were rescued or found another planet.
There were 16 births within the first 2 years. The children were schooled on the ship even though they lacked materials. This was all the children knew and will probably ever know; they didn't have enough food.
The ships were some of the older models maybe 3054 or so but were in good condition for what they were used for. There were maybe 100 different rooms and each held a family. The school was held in the cargo hold and the children who were too young for school stayed with their family. The food mainly consisted of non-perishable foods and bread. The bread was held in the in the freezer that was normally used for meats and other perishable food for shipping across the world. The ship was a greyish color and was powered by two sets of dual thrusters located in the backand bottom of the ship. The control car was operated by an elected captain who had prior experience. Their laws were voted in or vetoed depending on the majority.
Democracy lead to the downfall of most of Earth how can they expect to base their new civilization on that?
