People Begin to question and threaten the Journey, and the Ark eliminates this dissonance by carefully reverting its cargo to a primeval horde ( social Engineering, social progress). This is a solitary experience. You are one of the few rational minds who had a hand in developing the Ark. Consequently, when the Ark purges what it considers the bad seeds and embarks upon its social re-engineering in deep space, you are isolated but spared. Your character sleeps through the ages, and is revived at various milestones in the Ark's agenda, for a time-lost discourse (centuries are passing). You have access to the various surveillance feeds inside the ark - you get to watch.
