Our past, present and future begins over a thousand years into the future in an alternative universe where humanity have just started to flourish on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Having harnessed the power of nanotechnology and combining it with arc reactor technology, humanity no longer age and managed to increase their population to the hundreds of thousands. Arthur, Earth’s prodigy Captain must lead his team to the moon and prepare Earth’s first colony class spaceship, for the evacuation of Earth. What starts as a basic mission, soon turns into an edge of your seat adventure into the unknown. Arthur will be forced to step up and save his people or let another take his place. Hope can come from the darkest of places, sometimes its mysterious and from an unknown source. Something is waiting on the Columbus, whether good or bad depends on how humanity decides to treat them. The Ancient Astronauts are shaping into familiar figures of our past as they journey unknowingly towards our timeline.
