Finding the next home.
Woken up, the nightmare starts.
New planet, no hope.

It’s 2104, and 11 years after the Prometheus expedition. A new colonization ship Covenant is making its way to planet Origae-6. En route to their new home the crew detect a signal from a nearby planet and fortunately for them, it looks even more inhabitable than Origae-6. But when something appears too good to be true, it usually is.
