Log 1, year 2199, Earth Standard Time.

The year was 2199 I lived in sector-47 of Haven one of the last remaining human settlements. Man had lost earth to war. The nuclear fall out of World War 3 in 2050 was drastic, man had to leave for distant planets. That's when calamity struck again as if we did not have enough problems. The Vanguards are a race of vicious aliens who had made it their mission to wipe out species from existence. The purge, they call it, cleanses the cycle for new life. Bullshit, right? Well where was I, oh yes The Vanguards. They attacked just when the ships were leaving for various planets where we had colonies in. Sadly only one ship survived that day. We were unprepared and caught unawares. The only ship that did survive made its way to a small planet in Alpha Centurion; Altair. Even then we had to face a lot of attacks from those bastards called Vanguards. But life went to being normal and people have got used to life away from earth.

It was a normal day for me, I was making my Log diary and my dad is down in the lab tinkering away at God knows what.

"Okay, now the button is here and the plasma liquid screen solidifies and then Voila it will be ready. I did everything the instruction manual said and I expect it to be A-Okay.

"Well let's start, shall we ?" Coughing, I started again .

"REI MOTOHIRO reporting for duty SIR, hehehehe now that I have had my daily dose of jokes, let's get down to business. This is log one of the Motohiro clan, acting clan head Rei Motohiro here, leaving something for the new generation.

Now, if at any point you feel alone, then see this and you shall always know that we are looking over you from the skies and we are always present in you hearts If my dad's invention works then there never will be anyone who will go alone. An Artificial Intelligence tech. may become something of the present by your age. Well that's all from me today this is your former clan head signing out. "

I stopped the video ,saved it and sent it to a floating server in a space station roaming Altaïr.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

I stood up looking at the mirror in front of me, I saw in the mirror a boy who looked like a boy in his late teens the same wavy black hair, square face with a Caesar nose and jaw. Average arms and broad shoulders. And the greenest eyes man could find, an unimaginable anomaly born from an Irish high land maiden with a dream of going out of Europe and a Japanese man looking for inspiration in writing his new novel meet at park at Switzerland ,

I'll go into The semantics some time in the future

Speaking of other things Thankfully my exercise would make me less prone to high obesity, that was one problem solved in the all the scientific developments they tackled obesity at first. They realised obesity would only pull us down . So our scientists came up with the perfect exercise routine to tackle obesity and thus three fourths of all the ailments were nonexistent.

I was gonna tell them about my green eyes in the next log. till then I was going to lounge around but the announcements came and everything went south.

"This is an announcement for every citizen of sector-47 Haven, we are being attacked by the Vanguards. Please proceed to the nearest evacuation pods. I repeat the Vanguards are attacking…….."

The line got cut and I waited a few moments to see if the line would be restored, seeing no hope for new news I ran down to the lab

"Dad the Vanguards are attacking we have to evacuate now!" I screamed

He looked at me before turning back to the machine " wait a moment Rei I need to finish this machine it's your only chance."

" My last hope, dad what are you talking about we have to go now." I stressed

"There! All done come on Rei lie down here." He said

" Lie down, dad what are you saying, this is not the time for experiments we have to go now l." I all but screamed.

He caught me lightly by the neck looking me eye to eye " Rei do you trust me?" He asked, I nodded

" Then lie down, all will be explained." He said

Sighing I laid down on the bed of the machine. The machine itself looks more like an MRI scanner. He started typing on the computer pad next to the machine suddenly the machine started shaking heck the ground itself was shaking

" Dad what's happening" I asked not sure what was going on

He eyes glassy, he looked at me "goodbye my son ,you are humanities last hope. Remember find Nicole and the others, they will be with you. Together you will start life anew, away from these problems and away from the Vanguards."

"And oh before I forget you need to wake up in five years. That should be more than enough time for everything to settle down."

I could see the tears falling from his eyes before I could say anything the machine was lowered down and with it me. And that's all I remember of him now I'm stuck in this place trapped with no means of escape.
