Part 1: The Unknown
Humans had always feared the unknown. That was our basis for survival: if we didn't know what was in front of us, we couldn't know if it would hurt us or befriend us. That's why sometimes we stayed away from the unknown. But now, we are part of an advanced human race. We have traveled deep into the unknown after the place we knew was destroyed. Hidden in the unknown are all the answers. The things that are friendly and the things that aren't.
We don't know the unknown anymore. It was a leaf blown away many seasons ago. So, why are we still afraid? Why do we shiver in the night? Why do we always choose to live on planets with a light in the night sky and run away from the darkness? Why is our known the unknown? Because even though we've learned everything in the universe, there's still everything to know. That's the crazy thing: we don't know what we know. We're too scared of the knowledge we have.
Our health has become extreme; our bodies can survive more than 200 years. We have the largest amount of people enlisting in the military and the Warriors than ever before. At one point, humans were scared of death because it was unknown to us. Now, since it's known, we're scared to live.
