Its mission is to send 60,000 people on a 123year trip to establish a colony on an Earthlike planet named Tanis. The passengers and crew are placed in hypersleep, with the crew on a hypersleep rotation to cover the entire journey. Eight years into the mission the ship receives a transmission from Earth in multiple languages Youre all thats left of us. Good luck, God bless, and godspeed. Realizing that Earth is destroyed and they are the last remaining humans, Elysium is forced to proceed with the mission.Some unknown time later, two members of the flight crew, Corporal Bower and Lieutenant Payton, are awakened from hypersleep. Improper emergence from hypersleep leaves them both with amnesia. The ship is suffering from power surges caused by an unstable reactor, which leaves them unable to enter the bridge, although they have power in their quarters. Bower ventures into the seemingly abandoned ship using the ventilation system to jumpstart the reactor before it goes critical. After having a panic attack in an air duct, he begins to suffer from Pandorum, a severe psychological illness which once caused a space captain to send his entire crew to their deaths believing the flight was cursed. ........
