Most Recent New Earth Generation—63

This is a notice to all New Earth Pilgrims.

As you are likely well aware, reproduction via natural means is made impossible due to the high-grade radiation present in our most holy Replicator—always has been. Upon birth, there is nothing that can be done to prevent the machine from immediately rendering us sterile. This, you likely are all too aware of.

Thankfully, we have surpassed the societal benchmarks once set by the Primes’ initial plans and can once again increase our reproductive load. We would like to congratulate you all on the incredible work you have been doing—with every hardship surpassed, we are but one step closer to completing our pilgrimage.

You may notice the prolonged return of the Cube in our city center. For the following ten sunrises, the Cube will remain for the sole purpose of fulfilling Replicator orders; Terr and Abb replication will be prioritized above all else. By the population plan laid out by the appendix of the New Earth Charter, we will be generating 50,000 new humans for this generation.

In the coming days, you will be notified as to which stage of the generation’s childhood you will be required to aid. Neglect of parental duties will be met with punishment.

May we find our way home.
