Intro

The story would take the form of an animated film in a cartoon-esque style. (90s-2000s era Dreamworks 2D animation with a hint of 3D)

PLOT:

Long ago, humans sent out a large sector of their population on a space-race style mission; to explore neighboring galaxies and establish a human colony. Like a newly formed country, this selected group fought to leave planet earth and establish their independent presence on new worlds, knowing full well they would never be able to return. With the latest and greatest technology earth had to offer in their pocket, they set off, never looking back to their home planet in search of far off galaxies.

Or at least, so they thought. Thousands and thousands of years pass on earth, human numbers grow and shrink, the planet experiences both prosperity and desolation alike. So much time has passed, that current generations have little to no knowledge of the space expedition that happened so very long ago. The Earth has changed; humans have overrun the planet, overpopulation and crowding becoming an ever more pertinent issue. They soon seek out neighboring planets for resources; precious metals for their electronics and space rock for their homes. It is only after sending out a ship to a neighboring planet’s moon that they discover an alternate reality.

Humans...or at least, what used to be humans, already plucking away at the precious metals there, humming away with sleek, intergalactic technology in the palms of their hands. Or are they hands? Low gravity conditions and air tight space travel have changed these once humans into elongated, human machine hybrids. Muscle tissue no longer needing use after extended time in zero gravity sits tightly packed between machines built to compensate. Like exoskeletons, sleek silver metal and machinery supports the creatures inside. Their bodies are taller; their proportions long and slender, heads larger and covered by helms meant to hide their features and compensate for their deteriorated eyesight. They had evolved in their time away from earth, and are now met face to face with their so very different common ancestor.

They eventually establish a means of communication, even though both human and evolved human desire the precious material located on this planet’s moons. They propose a compromise; a test of Earth and space technology alike. Through a series of trials on all sorts of varied environments, distant cousins are forced into a competition that will test the differing branches of human history to their limits in order to obtain precious materials and goods.
