Return Derek Zhou

Humanity has come so far, smitten with countless catastrophes yet graced with momentary events of emancipation that even nature itself has learned to respect the inextinguishable flame of hope. The current status quo is leading humanity into a dead-end, however, "If we are going to die, we will not die here without one last endeavour." 400 years into the future, as humans continuously try to develop their primitive unsustainable technologies, Earth suffers immensely from the adverse outcomes of the era of "The Great Exploitation," everything is being depleted unreplenishably, hence dying - everything! Humanity desperately longs for a new start. A human ascension towards new horizons is imperative. Humans are supposed to be an intergalactic civilization, but our current status quo places humans in such a bizarre predicament of being trapped on the one side in a diabolical Stone Age mindset and on the other side, bestowed with transcendental God-like technologies. Whilst Return is extraordinarily fictional, it is a true depiction of the cruel reality. The spaceship Pegasus carries on the inevitable dream of hope and well-being for the human race onwards into the unfathomable universe, aiming to return a perplexed humanity to trace back its original path as an equanimous, peaceful, and self-realized species.
