Description

A weary family watches Earth recede through the viewing ports as their ship approaches Centifor, a newly discovered world described as an untouched Garden of Eden. Father Claude explains to his nine‑year‑old son, Billy, that endless wars and overcrowding forced humanity to search for a place where people could finally breathe, and that a bold explorer’s report promised a planet as fresh as the day it formed. The Marshall family, selected after a rigorous series of psychological and physical tests, prepares to claim a hundred acres of pristine land, hoping to build a peaceful community far from the conflicts that shattered their old home.

The opening scenes blend the excitement of a space landing with intimate family dialogue, painting a vivid picture of hope tempered by the seriousness of the selection process. Listeners are drawn into the generational yearning for a new beginning, while hints of the challenges ahead—surviving on an alien world and preserving its purity—loom on the horizon. This thoughtful first act sets the stage for an adventure that explores what it means to start over when the past is a battlefield.
