What if the last mission was never yours to begin with?

ECHOES

Story
The Third World War has left Earth’s resources depleted, pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. Learning from the repeated mistakes of history, humanity turns to the advanced decision-making capabilities of AI to find a path forward. The solution proposed by the AI is an ambitious plan: transporting energy from outer space back to Earth.

A team chosen for the mission embarks on a journey to Mars, tasked with securing humanity's future. However, along the way, they begin to confront unexpected aspects of the plan—revelations that challenge their understanding of their mission. Is this truly a path to survival, or does it lead to a new and unforeseen truth?

As they fulfill their mission and set their sights on returning to Earth, one question remains: will the Earth they return to still be intact—or has everything already changed?
