Today's inspiration is the word seismic activity.
The first warnings had come in the early centuries. Little rumbles that were registered on the richtor scale. Fault lines along the earths crust rubbing against each other.
But as the centuries went by they got worse and worse. Eventually new scales were created to measure them. Until eventually humanity had to accept the inevitable.
The planet was getting ready to tear itself apart. All the excesses of the past had brought forward the death of the planet.
The effect of this knowledge on a planet that had been full of civil wars for centuries was incredible. For once we all had a common goal. To find an alternate home. To survive.
The early space race paled to what happened next. The whole world focused on space. And escaping earth. Survival is an incredible motivator.
Against a back drop of Earth slowly imploding, the bio-arks started their journeys of hope.
