This is a deliberate thought experiment for a game design I'm playing with.
The Pitch
It's the 22nd Century and humanity has finally ruined the Earth with billions of deaths.
There's massive social issues but but we have a way to escape.
We make our way to another world that can sustain human life.
However it's occupied. Which makes sense - for there to be to be an ecosystem that we need, there's something down there making that.
So, we are the last ship, the only island left of Earth. We have maybe 100,000 people in cold sleep. And a further million embryos.
We have life support for the crew of maybe another 20 years. But then that's it. Humanity dies.
The world below has sentient life as well as an ecosystem.
You're the commander of the ship. What's your orders?
