The Alpha Generation drifted from Earth to colonise the planet Agnar Grath. 300 Years into deep space Earth courier ship the Hyperion discover their fate.
Planet earth is beginning to strain, its ultimatum stands on the threshold of collapse while her successor, Mars is perpetually victimised in endless civil War. All these horrors perpetuate a need for technological leaps, to leave Sol in search of her early cosmic refugees to see what salvation may lie in their knowledge, to resurrect a dying world.
The Alpha Generation, the first Generation Nest to leave Earth for this deep space planet, accommodated the greatest thinkers of its time, with a multitude of gardens unspoiled by the finest botanists. Josephine Sutcliffe, second in command of the Hyperion, had nothing to leave behind. 300 years into deep space, frozen in time, meant that like the rest of her crew, she would be returning to a world quite probably on the edge of destruction.
Their priority, to establish the Aperture Bridge and open a gateway home so colonies could populate the new world, Agnar Grath. But something about the Alpha Generation is causing concern. Great danger lurks in orbit of this new world, something breeding in the gardens of Orchid Plutos. Something close to the human race, invoking fear and feeding on the remains.
