10 000 humans on a generational spaceship. 12.35 light-years. Near 2000 years of travelling to the second planet of Luyten's Star system. The fate of the rest of the humanity is unknown.

At the core of the life dictating technodemocracy stirs tension rapidly approaching halfway point of the voyage, which demands the making of several decisions about the ship's future. What is the point of the journey? What's the objective? And where to next?

This situation might be familiar to many of us.
