Inquiry

by Kokokoo
The year is 2046. Mankind has taken to the stars and fulfilled their dream of conquering the solar system. Another star beckons, and mankind once again desires to capture it.

After 40 hard years of innovation and ever-increasingly brutal warfare, Earth and it's colonies have reached a state of political rest once again. The population has skyrocketed to 13.4 billion. Earthen land is becoming harder and harder to come by. Mars is running out of space as well. The recent discovery of a possible habitable planet clocking in at a mere 7 weeks away proposes an interesting and practical solution for the lack of land left for mankind. All they need is some questions answered.

Curiosity needs to be satisfied. Inquiry needs to exist for them to progress.

And progress they shall.

With their newly constructed starship "Lifeblood of Inquiry," they race their way to the star, awaiting their new home as they hurtle through space. They have no idea what they are to expect, and frankly, they don't care.
