Second Ascension: Part One- Alliance

OUR WORLD IS DEAD...

In the year 2099, the world has become a very different place. Alena Hartinger calls the Imperial Citadel home, a militarized city-state constructed in the wake of a once global empire. She comes of age in a post-war hellscape that has brought the planet Earth to its knees. The Citadel is the last bastion of Humanity, walls holding strong as the atmosphere begins to fall to decades of unending radiation fires. Gathering scattered resources from wastelands across the globe, the Citadel sets its sights on the sky. Alena's father, the Director of the Citadel, consequently unearths secrets from a time that fought a different war: evidence of foreign powers attempting to map and escape to other viable planets. A massive expedition is launched using the once lost data, during which Alena is pitted with a group of unique and valuable individuals called the Chosen, tasked with leading the charge. The farther they go, the more she slowly begins to suspect an entirely different, and far more sinister motive behind her father's urge to leave their home behind.
