A New Dawn, a tale of the Anthropocene and the beginning of the Accelerando.
Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception.

-Carl Sagan


In the vast, cold depths of space, the glimmering, twinkling light of stars travels though space at 299792458 meters a second, traveling aimlessly until some wayward object collides with those age old photons, in a slow, silent dance of destruction and creation...
And, in this vast, cold darkness, there lies a fledgling species: Humanity. Us. The few ones who have managed to survive for long enough to climb to the skies and see the stars above, with nothing but hope in our eyes. Ad astra per aspera, through adversity to the stars.
Every obstacle so far faced conquered, but now...now we face new challenges. Space is empty, and cold. Our home, Mother Earth, our Garden of Eden, is dying, killed by our own industrial ambitions and greed: There is no saving our home.

Worse yet, an astronomical anomaly has doomed our solar system: a cloud of dark matter has all but destabilized the sun and set it on a accelerated course of destruction in under 200 years. We have that long to escape Sol. The good news: FTL Travel is a reality. A very, very expensive reality. Exotic matter requires intense amounts of energy to create, and we require insane amounts of it in order to go faster than light. Using the dying star that is our sun to generate the power to produce exotic matter is not an option: the sun is now generating a field that will destroy any exotic matter that is generated inside the solar system, ending at the beginning of the Oort cloud.
The nations of old have fallen into anarchy when it was revealed that Humanity would cease to exist in some two generations, and now new governments rise in their place; war is common. Only a few realize that the only way to escape this fate is to evacuate Earth, or enough of a population to ensure the continuation of Humankind.

The year is 2120. We are nearing the cusp of our extinction.
Good luck. There is no time to be lost.

Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.

-Carl Sagan

Well crap, I hadn't read @TommyToledo's app until now. Project Luna and Luna Corp must be the USA knockoffs of the original Project Omicron. :P

It would actually make sense that an arms race of some sort started between the US and China, especially when the world went to hell like this.

Hey. Just applied. I saw that no one was doing 'Russian bad guys nyar' so I decided I'd fill that in for giggles.

@KingTip And a big hose that sucked up water from the oceans and then purified the salt water(The oceans aren't going to be here in a couple generations, so why not take advantage?).

How the hell did they manage that. I assume this tube goes from the moon to the Earth Ocean, but how are they bringing water from Earth to the moon, they would need pump strong enough to defy gravity.

Yeah, it does seem a bit odd. If you did a bit of research you'd find water is actually in the moon. 'In' is the keyword, sure, but there are pockets of water available in the crust of the moon. It'd be much easier, and infinitely cheaper in the long run to just drill that stuff up instead of shipping it in from the earth. After all, even today it takes thousands of dollars just to send up one kilogram of stuff into space.

@LHG100@Nytefall I meant water was taken from the ocean on the floating city, then sent up via shuttle to the moon. I had the idea of mining for water on the moon, but I wasn't completely sure of the water there. I guess a google search could've helped on that front. Oh well, maybe in a few of my first turns Luna can be self-sustained by mining water. (Although they had been planning a ship that would be sent out and return with ice from Saturn over some 7 years)
