Infos

2100: Earth drowned in its own excesses.  Skeletal cities stand as monuments to a lost era.  Ten thousand souls, a seedbank of humanity's potential, were entrusted to cryogenic sleep - a gamble against extinction. Among them, Elara, an environmental scientist haunted by a dying redwood, and Brandon, an architect whose sustainable dreams dissolved into rising tides.
Fifty years later, they awaken to a fractured world.  Shimmering sky-cities, havens for the genetically modified Architects, rise above the toxic dust.  Below, in the ruins, the scarred Remnants whisper of rebellion.
Elara, driven by guilt, confronts the Architects' chilling indifference, uncovering their hidden cost of survival: infertility.  Brandon finds solace in the wasteland communities, discovering eco-poets nurturing genetically modified seeds - symbols of ecological rebirth.  But these seeds hold a chilling secret: the power to terraform Earth into an environment hostile to the Architects.
In Zenith, the opulent sky-city, Councilwoman Cassandra Russell views the awakened as bio-labor, a fuel for her engineered paradise.  She underestimates their defiance, nurtured by Elara's discoveries and the eco-poets' quiet revolution.  In the wasteland, Joan Freeman, a hardened Remnant leader, must decide if these newcomers are allies or liabilities in her fight for survival.
As tensions escalate, Elara and Brandon are caught in a moral quagmire. Elara uncovers a way to potentially reverse the Architects' infertility.  Collaborate with her oppressors or let nature take its course?  Brandon grapples with the devastating potential of the seeds.  Ecological restoration or genocide?
Their choices ignite a chain of events that will reshape Cryo-Earth.  A fragile alliance is forged, negotiations begin, and the seeds of rebellion bloom.  But a faction of Architects, clinging to power, plots a coup, threatening to shatter the fragile peace.
Elara and Brandon, now leaders, face a new struggle.  Can they unite the Remnants and disillusioned Architects against the forces of division?  The fate of Cryo-Earth hangs in the balance. Will they achieve a revitalized world, or will the seeds of rebellion sow the seeds of a new destruction?
