Welcome to Kepler, a Jovian exoplanet also known as Earth-2. 300-something parsecs from our home world and you’re here. The colonial administration guarantees careers, not jobs, and takes pride in going the extra mile to support the ever growing colony. Interstellar short- term and fixed-term contracts, new opportunities and a fresh start for your whole family.
Not only a developing world full of adventures but also a holiday destination to die for. Wellness programs, office perks, health insurance, performance bonuses, paid sick days, retirement plans, gym memberships, stock options and equity, paid parental leave, childcare assistance, and, get this, diversity program. At least that’s what the booklet says. By the time corporations figured that there’s literally no natural resources on this rock to justify the space travel hurdle, it was already too late. They just had to pull the plug. Goodbye Nvidia, bye-bye Intel, ciao Coca-Cola.
Some settlers were given a choice. You either leave or wait until the next big thing. Well, my grandparents decided to stay. Now, you either work odd jobs, or you’re a farmer. Can’t say that I hate agriculture but there’s only two ways to get off of this planet. You either find a treasure map and become a gazillionaire, or you win the race.
