When the final extensions of the first international space station is complete, a newly elected crew sets off for a trial posting; simultaneously, a team of ice-core drilling scientists return from Antarctica, bringing back a groundbreaking discovery about Earth's history that will profoundly alter humanity’s connection to the planet.

SYNOPSIS:

EVENT 1:

It’s 2050, and the final extension of the first international space station is complete. A newly elected crew of 20 people, comprising 50% men and 50% women, a mixture of the world’s peoples, blasts off for a one-year trial posting at the space station.

EVENT 2:

International scientists have just completed their ice core-drilling project in the Antarctic with a significant discovery in the earth's history.

The core drill scientists return just as the international space team leaves. The data extracted from these ancient ice cores are crucial for understanding global warming. Armed with a possible solution, the scientists embark on a comprehensive seminar program worldwide.

While the scientists complete their final data collection on the oldest ice core, an ancient virus is released from its ice tomb on the return ship from the Antarctic. Although the virus appears dead, it accidentally comes into contact with human blood due to rough seas.

Nothing is thought of, and the ice core research is completed. This virus behaves like no other man-known virus; its only host is man, which takes two months to show symptoms, with the second month being the most infectious. When the virus reaches adulthood after two months, it kills in two to six hours.

As no one knows who has the virus on earth, securing an antidote is the only possible salvation for the human race. The key world scientists perform a DNA analysis on the virus, an analysis of affected human tissue samples. This process will take over six months to compile and work out an antidote.

Unfortunately, the virus spreads all around the earth via air, wind, and direct human contact, resulting in the total world population (9.5 billion people) being wiped out in seven months after drilling the core sample.

“No one knows who’s got it ‘till they die’ So the only humans left are the ones on the international space station. Over the next six months, they watch the destruction of human life forms on Earth. They will need to go to Earth to secure the antidote.

Computer technology from the year 2050 on Earth processes all the data and develops an antidote. When the antidote is ready to be picked up, test results are communicated to the space station. Earth scientists have also prepared a space return ship if necessary.

While this time is elapsing, the space station inhabitants are working out an action plan. They elect a man and woman (hero and heroine) to collect the antidote. This sets up a conflict with an evil character, who forces himself into the team to go back to earth.

NOTE: They have to use their space suits to get around on the earth to secure the antidote (storyline to be expanded, with their reaction to the number of dead people & loved ones).

This evil person's secret agenda is to kill all the people and become Adam on the space station, including the male hero (he plants a software program in the space station's central computer to destroy the space station). This evil person only wants his seed to re-start the new world (with the heroine) and be the ruler of the earth (storyline to be expanded, but eventually the evil character dies)

It takes 9 to 12 months after the last human dies on the earth to get the antidote solution. Over this short time, the world has already started re-balancing itself; global warming is reversing, forests and grasslands are reclaiming farms and ranches, and endangered species are multiplying.

The occupants of the space station eventually return to Earth. A New World order is discussed, and all religious traits that have harboured greed and hate in the past are to be stamped out forever.
