ESCAPE FROM PLANET DEATH!

By the year 2210, the earth was rapidly becoming uninhabitable. Amid global war and unrest, the United States launched a series of three transports to the distant planet Genesis. The first ship, an advance party led by Colonel Warren Hall, consisted of one hundred and fifteen military personnel. These colonists would establish a colony compound on the planet surface. Behind the advance party, the nuclear ship Ulysses carried two hundred botanists and a small group of four ambassadors known as The Friendship Delegation. These ambassadors consisted of Mission Pilot, Ava Stratton, Vice President of the United States, Mateo Ceballos, Genesis Project Spokesperson, Analyn Mendoza, and Mission Technology Specialist, Harry Turner. The delegation was accompanied by two human-like AI robots - a massive mainframe X-12 named Ulysses, and a small NK unit designed for tweens.A third craft, the nuclear ship Rubicon, carrying thirty two thousand settlers, would trail the Ulysses and wait outside the wormhole until the planet was secured.Our story begins as the nuclear ship Ulysses exits the worm hole. The crew remains in cryogenic sleep as the ship encounters an exotic matter surge.

The Friendship Delegation defends itself against the massive command robot, Ulysses. They have to keep Ulysses from launching to the planet Genesis. Meanwhile, Ulysses has killed the botanists, he's loose on the ship -- and he's up to something.

Using nothing but stun rods, the Friendship Delegation confronts Ulysses in an attempt to rescue their colleague and mission pilot, Ava Stratton. Meanwhile, Harry thinks Nick's programming may include an encrypted fail safe code capable of disabling Ulysses.

The crew pursues Ulysses to the planet's surface. The escape pods are about to land in three separate locations on Genesis. The delegation’s plan is to rendezvous, then find Colonel Hall and the first settlers in the colony compound before Ulysses reaches them. But, soon after they land, they discover that there's something strange about this planet.

While the crew waits in an alcove for the flood waters to recede, Harry attempts to decipher Nick's encrypted code: the fail safe he hopes will be capable of disabling Ulysses. Meanwhile, three survivors from the advance colony, hiding in a cave near the colony compound, send Lieutenant Morris in search of the Friendship Delegation. Since Mateo has destroyed the organic sensor Ulysses relies on to track organic life forms, Ulysses must now use sonic mapping, hearing, and eyesight to find the advance colonists. He finds the colony compound abandoned, but closes in on the survivors in the nearby cave.

Now that Ulysses has destroyed the emergency termination procedure known as The Zurich Protocol, it is imperative that the crew find Ulysses and upload Nick's fail safe. They set out, with Lieutenant Morris, for the colony compound. But, on the way, they encounter something deadly in the flood waters.

Another temporal storm strikes, threatening the life of Lieutenant Morris and causing each member of the crew to re-live past mistakes. Meanwhile, Ulysses pursues Lena and Jeffries into the deepest parts of the cave, believing that he is actually pursuing all of the original colonists.

The crew reaches the abandoned colony compound and encounters another deadly threat. They chase Colonel Hall into the cave, prepared to finally confront Ulysses. But, once inside, Nick encounters someone new.

With the exception of Harry, the crew comes clean about the memories they experience during the temporal storms. Nick is told what the Friendship Delegation must do, but it will require an ultimate sacrifice.Meanwhile, Lena and Jeffries reach the end of the cave. Trapped, they hide as Ulysses and Colonel Hall approach.

As Ulysses and Colonel Hall search for Lena and Jeffries, the crew executes their plan - a final confrontation with Ulysses. Harry and Nick press ahead while the remaining crew attempts to travel back through the wormhole and stop the Nuclear Ship Rubicon.
