"Listen to me my fellow Ciremans and listen well! Today is the start of a new age where we will no longer feel the mortality of our lives. Today we begin an age where pollution no longer chokes our air and atmosphere! Today, my people, today we embark on a new era of technological advances and a new way of life! Today we will begin our new lives in the DracoTech Age, and I will be leading you into it!" The crowd burst into a deafening roar as the newly elected Azar finished his speech. The town looked like something out of a World War two movie when the Americans went to liberate the Netherlands, but that was almost six-hundred years ago. The planet Earth was declared uninhabitable after years of pollution and deforestation ravaged Mother Earth. The old religion of Christianity had dominated over the industrial planet before their "God" abandoned them to their own fates. The colonists of Mars, Vega, and Calypso had to scatter from the solar system to find new resources for food and materials to make new ships for the rapidly growing population. After the last survivors of the Gausge, a sickness that formed when the body was exposed to too much carbon dioxide emissions, had died out, the healthy humans decided they wouldn't make the same mistake again.
Years had gone by, and the colonists had lost thousands of their population before finding a habitable planet in the Gwar sector of the Milky Way. The mental disease known as the "Standing" illness had taken over many of the occupants of the high-maintenance Starcruisers. Many of these sufferers experienced insomnia, and the feeling that everyone around them was going to cook them alive and feed them to the crew. Many of the sane scientists believed it was due to the long days spent staring into the vastness of space. The inability to touch real grass had gotten to most of those who had lost faith in the expedition to systems outside of their own. Since no real cure was found for those poor souls, they were forced to be killed for the safety of the rest of the people on board.
Eventually, the ships had come across a system with twenty-six planets, twenty of them habitable. The system was powered by what looked like a red giant. The fleet's commander had settled upon a nice "earthy" planet which they named Gaia. The planet looked promising with it's abundant resources and a new system of wildlife.
"It was the perfect place to start anew." The Elder paused before the Azar, the city's elected leader, for him to finish the historic tale and commence the celebrations.
"So here we are today! Let us celebrate the luck our ancestors found upon these planets!" The man waved his thick arms around, signaling the start of the confetti cannons. With an enormous boom, the confetti flew through the air like thousands of butterflies alighting on the city.
