Progeny's children

The humans returned to Earth, and something else was there

The residents of Earth were progressing well and following their Four Laws of Conformity. Joan, who was one of their scientists, followed the Third and Fourth Laws to ‘Expand the Knowledge Base’ and to ‘Seek Variation in Thought.’ In their archives, she discovered information about how biological creatures lived and how their DNA described them. She used genetic engineering and discovered clues to her origins. The biologic’s DNA contained hints of who made them. She used information from the genetically modified creature to give birth to another creature. Another creature, similar to those who created them.

Humanity treated Earth badly. They neglected the needs of their home planet, which resulted in a world that was hostile to life. Earth’s population was decreasing rapidly. The debate finally ended. The only way for the species to survive was to dedicate all the planet’s remaining resources and build huge spaceships. The deteriorating conditions forced them to leave and find another planet. Humanity traveled 325 years and covered 189 Light Years to a planet they named Horizon.

They had learned from their mistakes and took care of their new planet. But that wasn’t enough. They longed to return home. They taught their children of Earth’s beauty, and they compared everything on to their memories of Earth. Ultimately, there was no comparison, and they wanted to return home.

Over 1,600 years after leaving Earth, they developed Faster Than Light Travel and were able to go home. The first ship entered Earth’s orbit and found a pristine planet welcoming them home, but they also found something else living there. Their first alien contact surprised them.

Sample text:

Admiral Hartsfield walked onto the bridge of the US5323, commonly called KC-42, which was the craft’s call sign. As she looked around the command room, all eyes were upon her. The Command Bridge performed a two-fold function. It was the Command Center for KC-42, but it was also the Coordination Center for that cluster. Because of the many functions that needed support, the center had two levels and Admiral Hartsfield's Command Station was positioned between decks so she could see each of the stations and their holographic representation of their system’s status.

Each of the crewmembers manning their stations for the huge ship knew the significance of what was happening. They were all scared and desperate, or else they wouldn’t have been there. The Admiral took her time and walked to each of the stations and spoke to her crew. Some of them were near breaking down, and they were all under tremendous pressure.
