As the remaining resources became increasingly scarce and widespread panic started to infiltrate every corner of the globe, nations found themselves at odds with each other. This escalating tension soon devolved into rampant chaos and relentless conflict. The once unified response to the devastating gray goo was now a distant memory, replaced by discord and strife. In light of the rapidly approaching end times, a number of nations chose to confront their longstanding rivals, seeking to settle their final scores. These confrontations were driven by various motives, whether it was the desperate fight for the dwindling resources, territorial disputes that had been simmering for generations, political rivalries that had been stoked over the years, or even deep-seated religious differences that had sparked conflict in the past. As the world teetered on the brink of collapse, these nations went to battle, each with their own reasons and justifications, adding to the turmoil of the world's final days.
As the world tumbles further into chaos, the remaining nations that elected to ally with the United Nations embark on a frantic mission. They strive to secure resources and establish launch sites all across the globe, in a desperate effort to maintain some semblance of order amidst the rapidly escalating anarchy. In an effort to preserve global heritage during these trying times, the United Nations has formulated plans to launch extensive missions. These missions are dedicated to safeguarding valuable cultural artifacts from nations and diverse groups across the world. The aim is not just to protect these items from the ravages of war, but also to ensure that the cultural legacy of these nations and groups survive for future generations to appreciate. Astonishingly, some of these missions will involve the daring extraction of artifacts directly from the chaotic heart of active war zones.
Meanwhile, the committee responsible for selecting candidates for the exodus will prioritize an additional ten thousand individuals directly involved with the exodus project. This includes a wide range of skilled professionals and dedicated personnel who have played a critical role in the planning, development, and execution of the project. These individuals include construction workers, who have tirelessly built and maintained the infrastructure necessary for the exodus; scientists, who have conducted vital research and provided indispensable knowledge to guide the project; engineers, who have designed and overseen the technological aspects of the mission; and various support staff, including medical professionals, logistics specialists, and administrative personnel, who have ensured the smooth operation of the project amidst the global chaos.
Recognizing their invaluable contribution to the project's success, the committee endeavors to ensure their safety and survival, acknowledging that their skills and expertise will be crucial in establishing a new civilization in the aftermath of the exodus. Their inclusion in the exodus is not only a reward for their dedication and hard work but also a strategic decision to preserve vital knowledge and skills for the future.
With the installation of the colossal fusion engines marking the final touch, the construction of the five arkships has now reached its successful completion, not a moment too soon. These monumental vessels, each a testament to human ingenuity and resilience, stand ready to embark on their crucial mission, built just in the nick of time amidst the escalating global chaos. These arkships have been meticulously prepared and filled with a diverse range of cargo to ensure humanity's survival in the new world. This includes critical supplies such as materials for constructing habitats and spare parts necessary for the maintenance and repair of the ships. To sustain life, a considerable amount of food and seeds have also been packed, ready to provide nourishment and initiate agriculture in the new environment. Perhaps the most extraordinary cargo, however, is a comprehensive DNA library, it includes 60samples of every species of flora and fauna found on the Human homeworld. This ambitious endeavor aims to preserve Earth's biological diversity, with the hope that one day, these species may be resurrected and thrive once again in the new world.
With an astonishing number of over 110,000 people on each vessel, ready to be placed in cryostasis pods, the arkships are the last beacon of hope for humanity. These individuals, selected from diverse backgrounds and professions, are ready to leave their past lives behind and embark on this unprecedented journey. The cryostasis pods, advanced technology developed specifically for this mission, will place them in a state of suspended animation. This will allow them to survive the lengthy voyage to their new home. The journey is expected to last at the very least several decades, during which the arkships will be primarily managed by an advanced AI system. This system is programmed to handle any emergencies, maintain the life support systems, and ensure the overall welfare of the sleeping passengers. It will also facilitate the revival process when the arkships finally reach their destination.
As Earth's final hours draw near, the last measures are being meticulously taken to ensure the success of humanity's greatest exodus. The committee, responsible for orchestrating this monumental endeavor, is holding a concluding meeting. Since the establishment of the United Nations Committee of Human Relocation, it has been a requirement that none of the current or former political leaders be selected during the selection process to avoid any bias towards any group or nation.
This stringent protocol was designed to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the selection process. The Committee recognized that the inclusion of political figures could potentially introduce bias, favouritism, or conflicts of interest that might compromise the integrity and objectivity of the exodus project. Therefore, by excluding current and former political leaders, the Committee sought to maintain the credibility of the selection process and uphold the principle of equal opportunity for all prospective candidates, regardless of their background or affiliation. This approach has been instrumental in fostering trust and acceptance of the selection process among the global population, even in these desperate and tumultuous times.
Though there are indeed a small number of candidates who have previously been involved in political realms, the final decision regarding the establishment of their fresh governing system will, in the end, be in the hands of the exodites. It is they who will have the power and the duty to shape their new political landscape, deciding upon the structures and principles that will guide their society in this new chapter of their existence. Thus, the topic of the final meeting is whether the committee members have earned the right to board the arkships.
The argument in favor of the committee members joining the exodus is compelling. Their intimate involvement in the project has equipped them with a deep understanding of the mission, its goals, its challenges, and its potential solutions. They have spent countless hours strategizing, planning, and executing the mission, gaining a level of expertise that few others possess. In the unfamiliar and potentially hostile environment of the new world, their knowledge could prove invaluable. They could guide the first steps of the exodus, harnessing their experience to navigate unforeseen obstacles and shape the new civilization in its critical early stages. Their presence on the arkships could provide a sense of continuity and stability, crucial elements during a time of monumental change and uncertainty.
Yet, the counter-argument is equally persuasive. The exodus project has always been underpinned by a commitment to fairness and equality. Every decision, every selection, has been painstakingly made to ensure that no individual, group, or nation is favored over another. The decision to allow the committee members to join the exodus could be seen as a violation of this principle. It could be perceived as privilege, as an unfair advantage given to those who have been in positions of power. Such a decision could sow seeds of discontent and mistrust among the exodites, undermining the unity and cooperation essential for the survival and success of the new civilization.
Furthermore, the committee members' departure could potentially create a power vacuum back on Earth, disrupting the final stages of the mission and causing further chaos and conflict in an already desperate situation. Their presence and leadership could be crucial in ensuring the smooth execution of the remaining tasks and in maintaining order and morale among those left behind.
This decision is complex and fraught with implications, both immediate and long-term. It requires careful deliberation, an in-depth understanding of the potential consequences, and a steadfast commitment to the principles that have guided the project from its inception. The committee members must weigh their personal desires and the potential benefits of their presence in the new world against the potential risks and the ethical implications of their decision. This final meeting symbolizes not just the end of a monumental project, but also a test of the principles and values that have defined humanity's greatest exodus.

In the midst of all this, three distinct proposals have been introduced for space flights, each aiming to leave the confines of our solar system. The three distinct proposals for space flights all share a common strategy for their journey. They plan to utilize the gravitational forces of the planets, a technique often referred to as a 'gravitational slingshot'. This strategy involves using the powerful gravitational pull of planets to accelerate and alter the trajectory of the spacecraft, propelling them onward on their journey beyond our solar system.
Additionally, these proposals include the strategic decision to make a final flyby to the last vestiges of human civilization on Luna, Mars, and Titan. These colonies, standing as the remaining outposts of humanity in our solar system, are valuable waypoints for the arks. However, there is a significant challenge that the arks will face in executing this plan. Due to the current alignment of the planets in our solar system, it becomes impossible for the arks to visit all three colonies.
As such, a choice has to be made. The arks can only stop at one of these colonies - Luna, Mars, or Titan. This limitation is a result of the planets' positioning and the inherent constraints of space travel. This presents a difficult decision, as each colony undoubtedly holds its own unique value and significance in this monumental mission of human survival.

Meanwhile, eight interstellar arks owned by different private corporations have united to form a private fleet. This private fleet, an unexpected alliance forged amidst the chaos, represents a different aspect of humanity's desperate struggle for survival. Each ark, meticulously crafted and prepared, is a testament to the unique capabilities of the respective corporations. They have pooled their resources, expertise, and technology to form an impressive coalition, standing as a stark contrast to the public efforts led by the United Nations.
The creation of this private fleet has brought a new dynamic to the ongoing exodus preparations. While the United Nations continues to prioritize fairness and impartiality in their selection process, the private corporations have their own criteria. The selection of passengers for these arks is based on a myriad of factors, including the individuals' skills, their contribution to the corporations, and their potential role in the new world.
As these private arks prepare for their journey, they add another layer of complexity to the already tangled web of humanity's final days on Earth. The countdown to exodus continues, with each moment bringing new challenges and decisions. The fate of mankind hangs in the balance, held by the combined efforts of public initiatives and private endeavours. Only time will tell who will survive the journey to the new world and what kind of civilization they will build upon their arrival.
