(Backstory): Twenty years from now a three-ship armada on Humanity’s first mission to colonize Mars, meets with cosmic disaster enroute to the Red Planet. Alien ships appear and an electromagnetic burst of energy sends the colonists’ spacecraft careening at light speed into the future and burns out their electronics. Only two ships survive: The Phobos captained by General Colorado (a full blooded Sioux) and the armada flagship, Ares, under the overall command of Captain General Ursula (The “Ice Queen”) Winters and (second in command) General Ryalls. Although Ryalls and Lt. Hanna Lee suspect the armada was attacked by alien spacecraft, the scientists argue in favor of a blast of energy and gravity waves from a supernova that propelled their ships at near light speed and destroyed most of their electronics. They are now lost in space. It is while searching for Earth and making repairs that twin space-walking engineers Greta and Garbo spy an alien ship that is suspected to be equipped with the power to compress or speed up time and release computerized nano-particles that can take human-shapes.
Where is Earth? Their computers and electronics destroyed, they are running low on fuel, oxygen and water. Everyone expects to die. And then they find and orbit Earth only to discover Earth is different. There are no cities down below. With the exception of strange, towering Earthworks, the planet is pristine, covered with forests, jungles, rivers, and lakes.
