Operation: Pathfinder

Nova Terra, a New Earth, a new hope.  That was what was reported back by the crew of the Genesis.  There were of course complications, but according to the talking heads they wouldn't be a problem with a bit of planning.

We should have known better, Murphy has had a hand in this entire trip.  After almost a thousand years in what amounts to suspended animation we finally get a chance to explore a world that has only been sparsely settled.

***This is a bit of a re-imagining of Project Freelancer as I lost the plot on that one a while back***
