Beskrivelse
A prediction? Actually, reality. Raising big questions.
Public opinion is mounting on:
- Climate Change.
- Conservation.
On both issues, we must unite the whole planet.
But over a decade of research has raised some highly pertinent questions:
- Do we know everything that's happening?
- Is there a way to let nature revive and evolve?
To do those things we can and must have a Planet B - with building Near Earth Territories. And cap populations on Earth with licensing childbirth.
It's not too late...
An international team of researchers is assigned to live and work in the newly built Near Earth Territories, comprising a squadron of Giga-vessels (2.6 BCM) anchored in orbit. The spaces within, bathed in real sunlight, exemplify the best of nature with rural areas equivalent in every respect to the greenest counties on Earth.
Least qualified among the scientists is Sashia, a paraplegic who surprisingly becomes a rock on which they all depend. Doctors Mei Sai Ling and Steven Nord form the scientific team's backbone, headed by Professor Mark Madison and assisted by FayWell, the enigmatic Artificial Intelligence to the squadron. Tending their medical needs is Doctor O'Malley.
The subject of their research is natural disasters that began to grow at the turn of the millennium and now threaten to trigger a recurrence of the events that caused the Cretaceous Mass Extinction. Climate change was just the beginning.
News coverage becomes increasingly grim as refugees fleeing disasters swell mass migrations. Civil strife grips the globe; new styled warlords escalate a battle with United Nation Security Council forces in space. The Territories squadron, escorted by the biggest and best US Navy battle-carrier, becomes a primary target.
Our species has outgrown planet Earth. The Territories squadron is predominantly manned by designer-babies now in young adulthood. Made to reside permanently in space, they are the beginning of a new branch in the human species - extraterrestrial.
