Yuri looked at the monitor and connected to the interface of the computer, well the prototype of artificial intelligence of the ship.
From there, he could see all the cryogenically frozen bodies and among them, the whole English royal family.
There were very few Americans, in fact, there were 2 arks, the first one with the civilian billionaires, who had been able to buy their ticket at 1 billion dollars and the other one with the president and his family as well as the high ranking officers and the team of scientists and military elite to relaunch the USA.
But the second ark never took off.
No one knew it, but it was renamed the Repressor.
No one on board knew what happened before it took off.
The only thing they knew in their database was that an experiment went wrong and a volcano erupted in the basement of the large US base and everything was destroyed.
They desperately launched emergency rockets to reach the space station but the radiation was too extensive and extinguished any hope of survival, the station's engines being too slow.
A few capsules sent from India, China, Russia, Europe and the United States, as well as a few rockets from North Korea managed to dock with the Ark and escape the carnage.
Yuri laughed to see Kim Yong freezing.
It would be a good joke to place him in the United States...
" he laughed. Those Yankees could use a good dose of communism....That would teach them to share..."
Anyway, Yuri had sworn loyalty, and even if he had a few bends in the established rules, the goal was not to recreate nation-states as in the past but to restore humanity as a single unit to face the new challenges. The type of society they were going to establish would be communist with a salic order headed by the royals, guardians of knowledge, history and technology.Society would be militarized, democracy forgotten, a bit like in the Middle Ages with ranks like in a barracks.
A bit like in the time of the colonists, but stricter. The satellite would send magnifying images and use codes to revive what was still connectable. But after 3,000 years, the space debris had evaporated, blown away by the solar winds and the cataclysmic solar storm, and everything in orbit had long since fallen back, or simply, the batteries had been depleted for centuries.
The solar panels were all damaged, burned and naturally oxidized or simply perforated by mini-meteorites.
On the ground, nothing was responding either.
It was radio silence. A pure silence, without interference, as in the time of the first radio communications.
But a connection was established with another satellite
