Strange Planet(Part 1) (Story) Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

The year is 1658 A.L.(After Landing)how and why we originally got has been lost through our ability to recover the data off of the ships we land here on. I know what you thinking how could that ever happen? Well we discovered how too keep the body from aging while traveling great distances in space. I shouldn't say we I should they did, our ancestors as you will. They called it being put in statis.
Our goal as a species was locate and colonize a habitable planet and map our way too it. But our star charts were also lost during the landing. We don't know how long we've travel to get here. Earth is most certainly gone now. A burning mercury so they tell me.

I've heard stories of what earth was like. Great cities made of metal, wires, satailites, radio waves connecting all the people through all forms of devices. Wild life such bears, eagles, whales, sharks dolphin. Earth legends lives on through word of mouth and our books. I wish we had more information on what was our previous planet. Our technology is primitative in comparison. I read it only took 100 years to make that jump but it came at a great and deadly cost. From what I understand earth was dying. The planet only had 1000 years, before it was no longer habitable. I read it was getting so hot most areas were turning into deserts. Except those below the 30 degree latitudes of the northern and southern hemisphere.

This planet they call haven 5, they were suppose to be a total ten planets that we were searching for to colonize were the 5th colony to launch on this mission. The missions launching phase were done increments of 5 year. Half of each colony was preselected, the other half was a randomized lottery by presets of age, health, race and gender. The mission had no year end date for obvious reasons.
