Prologue

It was the 22nd century and earth had become a huge ball of pollution and smog, there was nothing left of the once green planet. Stunning plants that once covered the planet were gone, animals more fascinating and beautiful than life itself, have been erased from existence a long time ago. They were destroyed to fill the humans craving for energy. Earth was no longer blue-green or beauteous. It had evolved into a circular block of rock, exhaling venomous gases and facing its extinction hastily. All in all, earth was a shit place.

437 light years away, the ISV Venture Star torpedoed into its six-year journey to the Alpha Centauri System. Within the one mile long shuttle was an ex-marine named Liam Payne. Liam wasn't anything special, he got drunk every other night to forget his sorrows, and lived off his family. It's still is a riddle to him why they chose him (it's not), but hey! They did. And now he's here, even though he never wanted to, because you know, his brother James should be here instead of him.

James would know what to expect and what to do. He was trained for this, this was his dream not Liam's. They say that nothing can stop you if you really want it, that you'll always achieve what you've dreamed of. If you just work hard enough for it. Well, James did work hard enough for it, but sometimes you don't achieve your dreams because something gets in your way. Which in James chase, was a man with a gun, who ended his life for the money in his pockets. Liam glanced around at his surroundings. The ship was a grimy shade of white. Left to him seemed to be an endless corridor, to his right: nothing but another, melancholy grey corridor. With thoughts whirring within his mind Liam settled into his cryovault base and thought about what lay before him. He thought about his brother, James, and how he'd come to be on his way to a new star system. He was on a journey to a distant moon called Pandora. It was surreal to Liam. "I'm on my way to another planet." He thought to himself. 

"Me of a people." He glanced within the cryovault, the place he would be sleeping in for the next six years. The cryovault looked confident and reminded him of the planet which lay behind. He inhaled and closed his eyes as he opened them again Marcus was above him strapping him down. Marcus was one of the RDA staff on the vessel, kind of like an air hostess for the journey. Liam smiled as he pictured Marcus in an air hostess' getup "What you smiling at Payne?" Marcus questioned as he finished buckling in the straps. "Oh, nothing you should worry about." Liam chuckled. Marcus gave him a funny look. "Whatever Payne. Anyway, got to get you into cryosleep. We're off in about two seconds, so get your head down.", he said whilst pushing Liam's head backwards into the cushion of the cryovault base. "Sweet dreams." The machine beeped and started sliding inward. After a few seconds Liam drifted swiftly into undisturbed sleep.
