A message

"OK, Aaron" you pump yourself up as you enter the seat.

You stare out the window for a minute, waiting for another creature to come by the dim light shining out of the cockpit. You begin to stress about. You pull yourself away, you need to do something to distract you.

"I know," you say to yourself.

You enter into the main shuttles' computer, and you begin to try and establish a connection with The Asteria; however, it seems the ice is blocking any attempt you make. That is when you notice another signal appear on the screen. The last transmission of The Andromeda as she burned up in orbit.

"What is that?" you ask.

You rush to read the transmission, it goes as follows.

Attention Arc Colonists-

You are the last of humanity, the Earth and mars are gone. This inevitable event that was kept a secret to all but those with the need to know. You were sent out in a last-ditch effort to keep the species alive, with the goal we hope you have arrived safely to Ross 128 b.

If you are reading this, we have been long dead, killed by a malfunction in the solar core. Do not mourn our deaths but together with you, fellow colonists help keep humanity alive. We have sent you with stores of DNA from life on Earth as well as libraries full of data on our most precious stories, all of which can be accessed via the main colony computer. The Captain of The Apollo is to be appointed as the new Secretary-General upon your arrival, and if he did not make it, the position should follow the chain of command.

Godspeed and Good Luck

Secretary-General Henry Allison,

May 25, 2153

This news hits you hard, the Earth is gone, you and your group of two survivors might be all that is left of humanity. You stumble backward into your chair, you want to break down, you want to cry, you want to punch someone, anyone.

The position of Secretary-General.... follow the chain of command, you remember that you were made the captain of The Andromeda before it crashed. That means until further notice you are the leader of humanity.

You hide the message, deciding to keep the information confidential for now.
