Avrin was not one to be lectured, He found it annoying and demeaning that after reaching a near peak in his life, that someone would dare to treat him like a child. What made it more frustrating was that the one doing so was God himself, so it wasn’t like Avrin could ignore him. Every word the being spoke was worth more to him than anything else he could desire. He knew that the words were 100% correct in every aspect, no if's or but's.

"I apologize, but it wasn’t as if I could just not do anything. It seems my emotions run deep for situations that I have failed in before." Avrin’s voice was laced with sadness.

God replied softly, "Well, it can’t be helped. You are, after all, allowed to do as you please on Seleria. For now, take some time off to try and recover. This place has time that runs the same as on Seleria. An hour here would do you a lot of good to relax Avrin.” He smiled. “Nothing too fancy.”

Avrin was intrigued by this demension to such an extent that he pondered asking God if it was possible to recreate such a place on a smaller scale. It would give him extra time to train his body and practice his ability.

"I’ll be sure to do so. You’re not staying then?" Avrin asked.

"Not at all. I have other things to do and, as I have stated before, I like to tend to them without making it all happen in the blink of an eye." Avrin felt somewhat sorry for God. It seemed that even though he could do anything he pleased instantly, he preferred the more hands-on approach.

"Very well." he said quietly and in that moment he felt god's presence disappear. "It seems losing myself made me realise two things." Talking to himself, he could manage to keep some semblance of sanity in the isolated, cosmic space.

"Firstly, I need more control over my emotions to avoid a situation like that happening again. I don’t think such strain on my body would be wise until I have trained more. It also seems like I will attack anything near me, regardless of the danger, which would be bad if I meet someone as strong as Syranna. She didn’t hesitate to kill me." The mere thought of her name sent a flash of annoyance through him.

"Secondly, I’ll only experiment on people who truly deserve to be used as test subjects: rapists, murderers, and criminals of the worst sort. That way, I can better avoid the first thing. That will also allow me to trial and error to my heart's content, as well as enjoy myself." He grinned menacingly. He would have no mercy on such people.

"For now though..." He laid back on the motionless air, floating in space with his hands behind his head, surrounded by the nothingness of the void, his right foot over his left. He shut his eyes, wondering if he could fall asleep, but his mind wasn’t so forgiving and decided it was time for him to experience a full experience of the past.

Humanity had struggled in the past wars, which were plentiful after the United States decided to wage war on Russia due to their constant head-butting in affairs. Unfortunately, the real reason was Oil had grown so scarce that the wars were supported by each country’s citizens to the point of several protests being held, demanding for actions to be taken.

That being said, other countries were forced to take sides. China sided with Russia and India joined them, because the U.S. never took the country seriously. The so-called BRICS coalition gained tremendous wealth in 2092. This allowed those countries to happily advance their military might due to the internal trading and deals between themselves. Of course, the U.S. was joined by France, Israel, England, & Canada. They also increased internal trading with one another. Australia decided to remain neutral after the prime minister decided not to kowtow to the U.S. anymore.

Prime Minister Alex Chevin had been the PM to put Australia in the neutral position. He had done so to fix the struggling economy that had resulted from the spending done to appease U.S./Australian relations. A reform was voted in by both opposing parties and was passed by the senate who in turn allowed the people to vote whether to make Australia a republic. The vote was overwhelming, with 97% of people passing it through as a yes.

Alex Chevin then became President of The Republic of Australia and the country went on to become one of the largest Exporter's of industrial goods and uranium.

That being said, the position of Australia did not lessen the advance of UFIEC against BRICS. Each blamed each other for various atrocities, each supported propaganda against the another. Unfortunately, the countries that weren’t independent enough to look after themselves were forced to take sides in the conflict.

In 2099, just before the New Year, UFIEC declared war on BRICS and all nations that supported it. This was a turning point and led to WWIII – the most devastating war to ever take place on earth.

By 2110, the war had raged for so long that the little resources earth had left were nearly depleted. No group had made it to either capital. Jerusalem had been bombed by South Africa. Israel countered by bombing back. With military technology advancing, so far there were not many soldier casualties. Instead, the civilians were the ones to suffer the most.

Famine, drones, unmanned tanks, and trialled mech's were the source of multiple massacres. It was horrifying and the only ones who benefited were the war mongers who sold weapons. In 2111, a truce was formed by both groups and each leader stepped down to allow their own successor to take his place. They were too shamed to continue on themselves. That and public demand for their heads was plentiful.

The new leaders of these mighty countries were swift to act against the arms dealers who were not just selling weapons, but keeping the fire of war burning with their own connections. A majority were let go with warnings if they had deep connections, others were imprisoned for life. And those who took the trade in the heat of the war were executed and made scapegoats to appease the masses

That being said, it did not change the situation. Earth's resources were nearly gone. So it was in that moment a G20 summit that had ended abruptly in 2093 due to anger and had been put on hold for 17 years now took place. But unlike the past G20 meetings, this was the most important. Issues such as global warming were solved in the 2050's and global famine was solved in 2040's. The problem was the current state of things.

In the end, after an intense summit, with the world waiting for the leaders of their modern world to save them, it was decided. Earth’s technology had advanced quite far and NASA worked with countries such as Japan and Russia’s space programs.

They had rented out space in Australia’s outback to launch their newly formed rockets, as Australia had also dreamt of its program. President John Edwards of Australia had even went as far as to adopt all three agencies by giving them funding their own countries couldn’t afford at the time.

That being said, it was a life saver as "Brink" was formed by these three agencies and nearly all of their scientists and technological personnel moved to Australia. The government was more than happy to accommodate them all, especially with their neutral profits booming. Brink had made many steps forward after they formed in 2038.

They had sent astronauts to Mars and back by 2043. This was due to the immense funding and personnel from three countries and scientists around the world who were attracted to australias offers. With jumps ahead and Australia staying out of the war between BRICS and UFIEC, they were making enormous strides. It was then that then Brink Chairmen Matashi Hiriko attended the G20 summit and gave his idea.

By the end of that summit, it was decided that Brink would be given resources of all G20 members as well as access to any facility that would help the effort. After all, earth's future was at stake. The mission was to Colonize Mars and terraform it so that it could be used as a farm planet and its resources transported back to earth.

By 2126, construction on the first ever large scale Colonization Vessel known as "Hope" (named for the hopes and dreams everyone on earth had placed on it) had been completed. It was a whopping 14,000 Meters in diameter and capable of allowing over 400,000 people to live on it, taking into account Resources.

Brink wasted no time in the recruiting effort, taking people with a fit background or useful talents and careers, from chefs and doctors, to officers and maids. All sorts of people were hired to make up the voyage. In 2128, after a two year long recruitment process, and with earth's resources dwindling, Hope was launched carrying the dreams of billions of lives.

It had taken one year to reach mars due to the trial Warp Engine that had been somewhat successful. Of course, it required the power of at least 10 nuclear reactors to keep everything going. This was, after all, the first ship of its kind and no other job was more important on that ship then an Engineer.
