Eventually a select group of politicians from around the world meet in secret, unknown to the main governments. They propose an experiment to see if Humanity can begin anew. The Pioneer Project of 2080 was sadly put on hold when the Great War began in 2089, but by plugging the last of the world's resources into it, maybe, maybe we can save ourselves.
The Pioneer Project is a Spaceship, using a Tau Hydrogen Drive, capable, in theory, of travelling at Lightspeed. The original aim was that, if the ship found a suitable planet, it could return home and rescue the rest of humanity. However only one spaceship was built, only enough for fifty people, and if the ship ever returned, the likelyhood is that Earth would have destroyed itself.
Quickly the greatest minds on Earth are assembled, but one vital part of the plan changes; upon touchdown to a suitable planet, the memories of all those on board will be wiped. Only their skills and basic functions will remain. As one of the politicians states; "It is absolutely vital that no trace of war hunger, greed or jealousy be present in their minds. They must be as loving, generous and happy as children, as intelligent and skillful as machines. They will create a Utopia by default; how can one kill if the word is not in his vocabulary?".
A moving argument indeed, but will these bad qualities show themselves to be inherant in all humanity? And will the crew find a way to preserve or restore their memories? Will they ever return home? And what society will they create on their new planet?
_____________________________________
Bear in mind the crew do not know their memories will be erased. I may choose to reveal it to some characters via the plot however. The crew will include agricultural scientists, Astrophysicists, chemists and geological surveyors, navigators, doctors, councillors, food scientists, architects, people with the knowledge to preserve life either on ship or on their new planet. There are no weapons on the ship.
The Ship's computer is called Calvin.
