Prologue
In 2028 World War III broke out and thousands of years of civilization came crashing to an end in hours. 500 men and women were evacuated - some would say extracted against their will - and placed in cryogenic suspension in a temporary holding station on the Moon while a space ark was completed and the most suitable world found to colonize. The ship was simply called The Archive. It was finally launched in 2037.
In 2038 the survivors were awakened, but not informed of the fate of the Earth. Instead they were allowed to believe they were in a nuclear bunker. The readings from above suggested that their stay underground would be 12.7 years. The good news was that the bunker was designed to accommodate the next generation. In fact, by the time they were able to leave the bunker many would be too old to conceive children, so it was a necessity.
The trip was approximately 1400 LY. The ship achieved an intrinsic velocity of about 10% of the speed of light. This was augmented by a warp field that made their objective speed about 110x speed of light. Hence the 12.7 years. Finally deceleration began. 12.7 years after their journey had begun the news was broken. They were entering a whole new star system. Advanced reconnaissance of the entire system had begun years ago, mapping planets, moons, studying the star and nearby stars and planets.
Their savior had passed himself as a famous science fiction writer, with a serious college education. The name he used was his own pen name. But they soon learned his true identity was as a winner of four Nobel Prizes. He apologized for the deception, but had wanted to forestall the news of the fate of Earth.
There had, in fact, been two missions. The Lunar colony had originally been a secret plan for a penal colony to store terrorists. Many other survivors rescued at the end had been left there. That base had been incomplete as well. But once complete would have housed millions. The Earth was now a barren husk and might never recover. So that mission was seen as a potential dead end. The Archive could only house 500 plus the next generation.
In the years since the start of the voyage advances had been made in cryogenic suspension, so a return trip or continued trip was not out of the question. For now, however, the mission would be to colonize Avalon.
