Our world was becoming uninhabitable, unchecked technology, industrialization, overpopulation, greed and war had poisoned our world. The halfhearted attempts, distrust of our neighbors and unwillingness to make sacrifices. Our choice was doubt and delay, that choice ultimately was a decision to sacrifice the many and risk our entire species. This by itself probably would not have forced the launching of the lifeboats had we not been detected that our world's magnetic field was preparing a reversal it was steadily weakening and moving. This time in conjunction with increased solar flare activity that our scientists predict will strip off a significant portion of our atmosphere with catastrophic results. On the verge of extinction, our technology enabled us to send out life rafts, arks destined for exoplanets that had been identified as habitable and devoid of intelligent life, or that's what we thought.
