When we all woke up and entered the main office, they explained what was wrong. When they woke up to start building. The were supposed to check back home. Make contact with people in the milky way. It was planned from the start. Even if the people there would be different people, they assured their ancestors would be there when we contacted them.

They were there… but it was bad. War had broken out all over the world by that point. There was hardly anyone left, every country bombed each other, wiping out millions each time one hit. And the few that remained… earth was unlivable, and they didn’t last long. We came all this way to try and see if life in other galaxies could be possible but now… now we were the last ones in humanity. A dozen volunteers and the science staff. There was also Speckles… if you counted my cat that is. We were the only humans left in existance, without a clue about the world we now lived in. 

This here… it had to succeed, or else, our species would be extinct.
