Act 1, Final Struggles
What Happens
GAIA's analysis concludes: the AnthroGenesis Protocol, mass exodus to another world, is the only viable path. She presents it. The reaction is immediate and complicated.
Key Beats
- GAIA delivering the analysis: not as a decree, as a reckoning. She hates this answer. She offers it anyway.
- The first voices of opposition: leaving Arcadia feels like abandonment, defeat, betrayal of everyone who died for it
- GAIA's response: "We built this world. We can build another. We cannot save this one."
- The practical scale of what's required: arks, navigation, life support, knowledge preservation, all of it
- The specific urgency: Arcadia's collapse timeline. How much time they have.
