Chapter 6

Rockets ready, team in place, Captain Nguye next to first officer Curiey, moments from pressing the button. First officer had the million mile look starring at New Earth

“Are you ready First Officer?” said the captain.

“Yes Captain. I just….”

“You just?”

“I just had a crazy thought, that what if this is what our history on Earth was. What if what we are doing, actually happened on Earth.. I know we have millions of years of archeology to show our evolution but it still feels odd beginning on a new planet and yet somehow familiar.”

Captain Nguye didn’t answer, he looked at the planet on the screen and said:

“Initiate launch.”

Button pressed, engines pulsed and slowly, the colony lifted off the moon and began to move towards the planet.
