With the world population out of control, The Omicron started shipping the
undesirables off the planet. Of course, they spun it as a good thing: "You
heroic few will brave the unknown and charter a new path forward for our
civilization!" We know now that this was just a way to increase their power.
We should have seen it sooner when we realized the ship was made up of mostly
rebels.
This follows the story of the 53rd ship: the one year anniversary of the first
ship.
52 ships came before us, and not one has been heard from again.
Of course, there was resistance at first, but with the rebels losing hundreds
by the week, we couldn't put up much of a fight.
The ships are outfitted with sleeping chambers to protect us during launch, but
we are told we'll awaken by the time we reach the moon.
Not much else is known about the ships yet because we were knocked out before
being put on it. Why didn't they just kill us? I guess it doesn't fit their
narrative.
