A low-key science fiction and future history story series, created by AndyC. Ongoing since late May 2015, you can find the first volume here and the second volume here.

The first volume of the story was also published in January 2016 by Sea Lion Press, as part of Phase 3 of their publishing plan.

The story takes place within the context of a relatively near-future history, though one without a specified date, and follows around several plotlines concerning various groups of characters worldwide. The primary backdrop of the storyline is the return of the first unmanned interstellar mission back to Earth, and the planning and construction of the first interstellar manned exploration vessel. As is typical of Earth history, these efforts get tangled into various twists and turns of a political and personal nature. Unfortunately, however, a good chunk of the planet is devastated when the unmanned probe, named “Star Pioneer”, crashes just off the coast of Madagascar; thus forcing the evacuation of as many survivors off the planet as possible.

The date when the chapter was first posted is included in the brackets. The story will come in three volumes once its fully finished.
