It has been countless years since the human race had any sense of direction, or purpose. Technology grants people immortality, machines grant people time by doing all labor. Everyone knows everything there is to know about the the universe, and so people just live, with no substantial goals to strive for. Additionally, humans have been around for so long that any history of a beginning has been long lost. However, one person, Cain Edwards, sets out to discover more about the past.

“Hey Cordell, I’ve been thinking,” mused Cain during a game of chess. “ How long do you think you’ve been around?”

“Ehh, I’d say a couple millennia. Why?” replied Cordell.

“I was just wondering if there was any one planet from where we all came from? The more I think about it, I feel like humans had to have some sort of starting point, or beginning. Check”

“Damn. Where humans came from?” asked Cordell.

“Yea, I’ve been wondering about this recently, and I’ve concluded that we, as a whole, originated from one planet, and gradually spread out.” said Cain.
“That’s an interesting idea. I’ll do some research in The Database.” Cordell promised. Cain makes one last move, and its checkmate.
