With Global warming out of the way, overpopulation is taking hold of the planet. After the nuclear war of 2094, the moon is gone, and Mars seems to be the only option. Mercury is to far away, and Venus is way to hot. And since the others are gas giants, there isn't anywhere else. Right? Not exactly. Jupiter has 69 known moons, some perfect for human habitation. But when the first team loses radio contact, NASA realized it's not safe. That day was called the Collision of 2123, when 362,980 of the biggest recorded asteroids collided with six of Jupiter's moons, including the one that was being colonized at the time. The collisions continued to happen around Jupiter, summoning more and more drifting matter. This pileup got to a point around a hundred and fifty years after the first Collision, when NASA started to notice a decline in the detected ruble. Roughly fifty years later, the debris had largely settled, making it clear to NASA scientists that the matter had collapsed into the planet, giving Jupiter a surface. Jupiter's new surface was, and is now, 198230000000000000000000 kg. This is enormous. So people started to think, If it's moons aren't safe, why not move to Jupiter itself? And that's where I come in.

Blasted Futures, Secret Histories (SciFi Smackdown) by CharlotteAshley
15 parts Complete
The Adventures of Morley and Boots: The crew of the Leapfrog travel randomly about the galaxy in search of unique lifeforms to trap & trade. Intra-galactic poaching is profitable, but risky - like when an Evil Intergalactic Empire accuses you of capturing their Goddess, and you don't even know which critter she is! End Game: In an alternate near-future Indochina, Imperial France still rules, much to the chagrin of the local Siamese. Ratana's brother is captain of a premiere league football team, and a hero to the Siamese - and when he is booted from the squad to make space for the son of a powerful nobleman, it sets off a chain of events that could result in the toppling of the Empire. Self-Assembly Required: Human civilization has been almost entirely destroyed by a catastrophic plague of nanites, but one city remains, hidden and protected by Hydra, a team of all-female nano/human hybrids. Is the arrival of a roguish, lone-wolf mercenary a sign that human civilization is recovering, or the event that could destroy the few remaining survivors? The Woman from Mars: The robotic crew of the Basilisk thought humans were gone, long gone. But when they are sucked back in space and time to Jupiter's moon Europa in 2552, they discover a Viking civilization with the technology to rebuild human civilization - assuming the woman from Mars can complete her mission. Blasted Futures is a short story collection. All of these works have been written for The Pub's SciFi Smackdown, a contest in which contestants write Science Fiction stories meeting the specifications laid out by the smackdown's host, @ForbiddenPlanet.

Jurassic Odyssey (Oc x Prehistoric Franchises Crossover Harem) by Rajaem74
10 parts Ongoing
The Earth was once ours, beautiful, lively and perfect for life that is until. Humanity had finally done it. World War 3, a battle between humanity marked the end of all life on planet earth. They used guns, bombs, tanks, ships, planes, nukes and even worse things but...it wasn't enough. The Presence of radioactivity on the entire surface into the seas had completely made the planet extremely inhospitable and so many went underground for safety. But our species of course is too stubborn to fix our mistakes. We simply ignored them and with the greatest advancements at our hands we looked into the stars to find a new home. A new place to be, building large spacecrafts that could support a stable population for At Least a few millions of years. That could travel for lightyears in case we did find a home, in case we found another place to be where we could possibly restart ourselves again and expand into the unknown and well eventually we did find a new home, a planet called Kepler 22b...the last hope for humanity, Kepler-22b (also known by its Kepler Object of Interest designation KOI-087.01) was an exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of the Sun-like star Kepler-22. It was located about 640 light-years (200 parsecs) from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus discovered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope in December 2011 and was the first known transiting planet to orbit within the habitable zone of a Sun-like star, where liquid water could exist on the planet's surface. Kepler-22 was too dim to be seen with the naked eye but was traceable enough to be a future homebase for our species but as to be careful we didn't leave fully. Humanity sent out one of its finest ships to go out into space and scout out the planet to make sure that it was habitable and not a complete waste of time. But unfortunately, and mysteriously The Ship would never return, instead plunging into the planet mysteriously for an unknown reason.
