Part the First:
"There's only one corner of the Universe you can be certain of improving and that's your own self." - Aldous Huxley
Man's journey beyond the extraterrestrial has evolved into something analogous of the historic 1969 Apollo 11 transit. Five-years prior to Armstrong's meddling over the Moon, brilliant futurist Sir Arthur .C. Clarke devised 2001: A Space Odyssey, a lucid and frankly surreal trance to this day highlighting our history-spanning fascination for the world.
And come the recent 27th century.. we've explored Space's uncharted realms, uncovered Chronium and Onyx oil, and by forming theories about the early calculations of our curious, planet-restricted minds, ingenuity has fueled our nuclear, Hyperspeed expedition to the bounds of infinity.

Mankind has stretched another 351 Earth years. This is compared to our 14 billion year old universe, but nonetheless are years well maintained. However, no daisies show, as Man's fatherland has been exterminated, with growing pains like corrupt environmentalism, the extinction crisis, and avarice displaying the factors responsible for Mother Earth's death.
All blank and twilight, the star-smattered cosmos have stood their relatively playground foot as we no longer envy our world a half-century ago without its Teflon and fossil fuels! No need, for the best way to describe this is thinking of the world as a cycle. See, put aside its change, and isn't your current life merely a futuristic rendition of your past? And come its antiquation, the hourglass is reset. People within the chronological school of thought name this a generation, where change drives antiquation, but not the other way around; think of a time where, even when aware of your emotional attachment, you still gave up something you owned for your greater health. Is that your car, house, money, extra slice of cake, and ex-wife Jennifer?
