Thread: RP: Elysium: The Phoenix Effect [ Horror_Show & Halfcat]

The world was a very different place than it had been hundreds of years ago. Pollution and corruption had completely destroyed any chance of the planets survival. Wastelands stretched from continent to continent and resources were low, population was three times the size it should be. The wealthier didnt even live on earth but on livable satellite arks orbiting earth but not everyone could afford that and suffered the consequences of living on earth where the survival rate was deathly, and a humans life was cut in half. Luckily for Zoey Willow Gibson who was only twenty years of age, had got to live in the final decade where the battle had been won. They had sent earlier missions out into space in search of habitual planets and had received word with proof that a few galaxies away was an earth like planet. It only took ten years to reach the destination. The previous crew of under a thousand crew members were living on the planet already but they werent enough alone to build a new civilization, they just were able to settle down and start small projects like farming, building facilities. All the governments had worked together in efforts to secure humanity and its survival. They had built a huge interstellar ark, named Elysiumit would carry over sixty thousand passengers, on a colonizing mission to the earth like planet. A huge percentage of the passengers would be in hyper sleep. Theyre would be a rotating crew to maintain the ship. Among the sixty thousand was humans with various skills and talents, you name it, and somebody could do it, farming, electrician, plumber, biologist, chemist.so many necessary skills. It was everything they would need to thrive on the new planet. A small portion of the passengers were apart of the reproduction program, which consisted of a few thousand young adults. They were enlisted to help repopulate the earth like planet. Some would be in hyper sleep and would be required to reproduce on land, others would be required to do so throughout the ten-year mission as a full medical unit was apart of the ark to assist with any medical needs, including a luxury maternity unit. Each couple was required to conceive two to three children, minimum of two before retiring. They werent forced to marry or be involved with their partners. The men could rotate and re-enter the program to do three rounds before they were retired, women would just have required to birth and help raise their offspring. Zoey had been recruited to the program and not by choice, she had studied nuclear psychics in order to enroll among the engineering crew to keep the nuclear systems that powered the ark up and functioning but was instead pulled to the reproduction program because of her youth, intelligence and genetics. She was still allowed to be apart of the technical team as soon as she completed her mission of it least having two children. Thar or be forced to stay on earth and not be apart of the mission. So she agreed and enlisted into the program. In weeks before departure she was monitored, worked with a nutritionist and several other doctors to make sure she was in perfect condition. Just because you were healthy it didnt mean you were fertile and would be able to conceive, they knew it would be a process. The week of departure all of the members were invited to meet each other. A huge celebration was held, staffing would help aid pairing if needed by the help of counselors and psychologist. Zoey had no luck being social or being successful finding a compatible partner. The whole week was miserable. She had almost hoped they would select her for artificial insemination instead. She had no problem with that. So far that wasnt the case and it was forty-eight hours before departure. She had twenty-four hours to find a partner before she was assigned one. Most had already chosen their mates and celebrations were lived far into the night. There was a huge reception like hall with luxurious food, beverages, decorations, music, even alcohol which they were allowed to consume as it would be out of their systems before breeding began depending on their personal assignments. The music was loud and everyone really did seem to be enjoying themselves, the whole ark was alive with excitement, partying.not just the reproduction crew. Zoey sat zoning out among the loud music and flashing lights. A part of her was happy she was finally getting to leave earth, be apart of something huge and she would get to work on the ark but doing this reproduction assignment was going to be a little traumatizing. She had never been very sexually active, she had a girlfriend for a year or two in high school and that was it. videoyoutube
