There was a warning on the game box, if anyone had bothered to pay attention.

Hugh saw the warning. He just didn't care.

"Earth is dying. The causes are numerous, but like any disease can be traced back to one source: humanity. We are killing our home. For that reason, we must leave it. Humans can survive if they're provided the right tools, but can you build a place to thrive? We at Gateway have created Nexus to act as a waystation for our World Architects as they search for the answer to that question. Go. Explore. Build. Thrive.

Warning: All sales final. In the event sleep stasis persists longer than intended, please forward all complaints to World Council Headquarters. Proceed at your own risk."
