Stargazing

It's not easy living like this. By this I mean with 15 months to a cycle, and 12 cycles to a year. it's now 26/8/9/111. and you thought you had a hard time with dates. Your probably looking at this thinking its all on earth, well you'd be wrong. Earth was lost over 120 years ago. Ya, to us your just some words in a history book. Well lets start with how it began. NASA found life on planet T190 on the outskirts of the milky way in the year 2032. They then began to build the new spacecraft they called the Mayflower. NASA trained a small group of 30 men and women. Upon arrival if not to disastrous they would soon receive reinforcements of volunteers. 2 years after the first 2 million volunteers and the making of over 50 thousand Mayflower type vessels the TN90 disease broke out killing over 200 thousand in the first year. Starways congress petitioned to bring back the rest of the volunteers that hadn't gotten the disease yet. They thought they were doing good, but oh the wrong they did. In the next year the TN90 disease killed off a little less then two thirds of the populations on both planets. Starways Congress started quarantining the remaining citizens to another planet they found near T190 called R220 which they later renamed to Terra. This new planet was not the most habitable but it would sustain the few until they could find a more suitable planet. As soon as they arrived they sent out the remaining Mayflowers to nearby planets, trying to find what would save their lives.

6 years after arriving on Terra they found a suitable planet only two hundred and fifty five thousand light years away. With only 500 men and women left of the epidemic the new colonization of this new planet would not go as hoped. Slow, but successful the building of D36 would soon make a change to the Galaxy. They remade Starways Congress set the current constitution and calendar in place. This Planet, this Life on D36, will never be the same again.

D36 was infected with the TN90 disease soon after the 500 came. Since then we created a new vaccine that changes the biological chromosomes in your body to basic nanites. Everyone started looking the same, started confusing people for their siblings or friends. It became a habit to want to be like everyone else in not only looks but in mental and physical structures.

Later that year they discovered a new disease, a disease from the nanites. This new disease started to decay the flesh and muscles of the innocent. To cure this disease they exploded an electrical pulse above all the cities to wipe out the nanites. Unfortunately all this did was reprogram the nanites to do the opposite of the original plan. Exposing the citizens to the harmful TN90 Disease. This soon killed off over 400 people. The remaining 75 civilians starborted to a recently discovered planet they named T6. Renaming this planet after a year of living there to Terra as a reminder of the giving planet that led them on farther. This is my planet, after generations of people we finally come to my year. Now as I sit here Stargazing we face a new tragedy, Rebellion.
