Welcome to Earf
Heard of The 100? Of course not! Why would you have– Let me persuade you, it’s the most basic trope of the oblivious little blond girl going rouge, interested? Let me start over…
The 100 starts with a group of juvenile kids– wait guess how many… one hundred! You got it! The 100 are sent down to Earth after living beyond the atmosphere for ninety-seven years because of radiation to determine whether or not Earth has become inhabitable again. “Oh, but space is so great, why would they come back to the dirty, stinky, global warming earth???” The truth is, not that the counselors would ever disclose it, but the ark (the ark is a space ship hovering above the earth with twelve stations) had begun rationing, along with executing people, to limit their resources. They were running out of food and air. To ease your conjecture I’ll explain who the counselors are. They’re the hieracrhy. Think House of Represenatives. Your democracy, Chancellor Thelonious Jaha. Chancellor Jaha is the president, he was in charge of “Project Exodus”, the decision to begin eliminating survivors on the ark to sustain the little they had to live on if Earth was still inhabitable.
Our juveniles down on Earth used context clues to calculate how crucial they were for the ark to survive so– drum roll please… They disobeyed them and left everyone on the ark to gaze at the stars! Steadily the one hundred began cutting off the braces on their arms that tracked not only where they were on Earth but whether or not they were still alive. Taking off the braces in the eyes of the ark revealed they were dying off with no pulse to detect anymore with it released from their wrists.
In the end the ark deemed earth still unsustainable for life and they all died up in space, the end!
…To be continued.
