*On a mission to save the future of humanity, Kiren becomes humankind’s unwilling savior.*
Kiren flipped up the cover on the switch that would engage the Crossing Drive and spoke into her mic.
“Command, Genesis Crossing. All systems go for drive initiation.”
The voice from the ground center came back a second later, “Genesis Crossing, all systems go confirmed. Countdown commencing. Good luck and Godspeed. Genesis Base will see you on the other side.”
“Command, Genesis Crossing. Countdown commencing confirmed. Awaiting orders for initiation,” Kiren said back and glanced at her co-pilot.
Echo wore an anticipatory grin that mirrored her own as the ground command’s countdown began. This was it, the moment they’d trained for. On the other side of this journey lay the colony of Genesis Base, a fresh start for humankind in the wake of The Disaster. That colony had taken nearly a century to reach and another half-century to put into operation. Now, it awaited the hope of humankind, which Genesis Crossing held in its storage bays, in the form of embryos for repopulation.
