Evacuationship

More about Evacuationship

This rescue mission is the most important 1 of your life. In 12 minutes, this Amazonian civilization will be annihilated. Their language & traditions will be lost to time. They do not understand what is happening, but you do.
Evacuationships are starships that transport refugees from immediate danger, including nuclear annihilation. Rather than guide Amazonian refugees through humanitarian corridors, you are called to evacuate them on Starships.
Your evacuationship touches down in the most densely populated area. Your crew knows that Amazonians will not come aboard willingly. With 11 minutes until nuclear impact, you drag the first family unit aboard.
“Top deck” you belt out.
Elevator obliges, swooping them up to your armed crew member on the top deck. Your heart pounds after at least preserving something from this ancient civilization. They tried to bring possessions on board, but evacuationships are strictly for life.
There is nobody else aboard except for 1 armed crew member & the first Amazonian family. Everyone else is gathering people to save. 2 more families are thrust into the elevator, then another 2.
“Top deck.”
Your mission is progressing too slowly. 10 minutes 48 seconds left with only 3 families aboard. Just then Cybertruck pulls up with 10 more families incapacitated, Some are on its truck bed while others were dragged alongside on sleds.
”Whatever it takes. Top deck.”
10 more cybertrucks pull up the same way. All of these families will live, even if you hear them screaming at you, crying inconsolable tears. It does not matter what they believe is happening. Your priority is to save them.
“2nd deck.”
Finally, a deck is filled & you can move on to the next 1. You fill 5 more decks before the time reaches 4 minutes until annihilation. You seal the hatch & initiate take off sequence. Nuclear missile impacts 1 minute after takeoff. You are high enough to avoid even slight shockwaves. 1 day they’ll understand what you did for them, but for now their screaming is unending.
