Our Precious Future: A Story With Zo

Chapter 1 - 2 years later

Who knew Mars could be full of life.

The dirt full of nutrients, the habitats full of plants, and the plants full of cells.

In a way everything alive is dead but just like circles and rectangles, dead is unfortunately not alive. As is my best friend who died in that explosion two years ago.

I try to wonder about what would happen if he were alive but I can't. We have to solve humanities problem soon. The meteor is t-3 years and 4 days from hitting earth.

We have thought of everything. Laser defense, rockets, bunkers, but put models haven't worked. Currrently we are trying to find an inhabitable planet close enough that the stasis poss will work for humans, plants, and animals.

We need a plan and fast because we need to be able to enact the plant before the meteor hits.

Suddenly I'm awake...

The little alarm going off, "Wake up sleepy head!"

Ugh. I get up and go downstairs and make some food for me. People come down as always and try to steal my food or ask me to make them some. If they ask me to make them some, I'll do that but if they try to steal it I won't.

After breakfast we all sit in the research lab and talk out ideas until we need to do our chores. We talk about a few interesting things, George talks about  rockets, they Jay talks about moon colonization.

Then we start our chores. Today I'm laundry. Other people are doing important things while I'm sorting underwear and panties. I start sorting moving clothes in and out of the machines. At least I'm doing it on Mars, it always makes it more exciting.

After that it is free time. We usually work during free time anyways, because we feel rude being all safe and having free time to not thing about saving the Earth.

But today I decide to go outside and have a little walk. I go to the outfit room, put on my space suit, which is really flexible by the way, and walk though the airlock.

The Martian landscape, beautiful but barren. The red soil stretches to the horizon. Except for our little area where we have labs and machines all put together. The labs beautiful with thousands of windows in a dome shape so anyone inside can see the outside

I walk to one of the benches and sit down, one nice thing about mars is that we got rid of the bad storms in one of our experiments. Maybe we should go back to those experiments...
