The Colony on Proxima B

In the safety of their dome, the colonists on Proxima B would create a perfect society-at least that was the plan designed by SECA, the Space Exploration and Colonization Administration. The scientists and administrators at SECA had carefully arranged everything: the dome that could accommodate the colony as it grew, the selection of the two hundred young men and women chosen for their diverse areas of expertise, and of course the technology that would allow the people of Earth to view the "colony experience" as the colonists became acquainted with each other and their new world. The viewing public could hardly wait for this. That was the plan, but unknown to everyone, the frozen planet was home to forces that would disrupt this plan and require the colonists to face physical and emotional tests that they never expected.
