[ WP ] You are the first member of the 5th generation of settlers on a new planet . No one knows how the advanced sciences of your barely functioning craft works except you - and you have no idea why you know .

Despite living on the planet for over four hundred years our progress was not exactly going as planned. 
 
 Still lived in the Ark, still restricted our population growth as per our deep space protocols. We were pioneers and we lived a spartan life because of it. 
 
 Long ago, when we broke the gravity of a dying earth, the Ark was populated by humanities best and brightest. They set the Ark on its trajectory. Set everything to Auto-pilot then they waited. 
 
 And their children waited. 
 
 And their children waited. 
 
 Now the knowledge of our forefathers has been lost. A centuries long game of Chinese whispers obscuring the information. 
 
 Funny thing is I still hold all that knowledge. I just know it. I can ’ t remember not knowing it. I watch as my peers struggle with the most basic elements of our dated technologies. 
 
 I try to teach them. Have spent years trying, it ’ s almost as if they can not speak binary.
