Storyline

As Earth became inhospitable, Noah, an AI whose sole purpose was to preserve humanity, was created. It chose the Moon as it’s Ark - renamed Lunark - using it as a ship to evacuate a handful of chosen ones to the nearest superhabitable planet. Unfortunately, whether the planet was inhabited or not was not part of Noah’s criteria.
