We landed on the surface three years to the day after we left Earth. At first, everyone was focused on the thousands of tasks it took to build the settlement that we didn't really care that the messages from Earth had stopped.
But the day after the party when we grew the first potato on this new planet, thoughts turned to Earth and it's silence.
We sent back messages across all frequencies, not just the restricted ones.
Three months later, we got a reply, from what Humanity had become.
We had a bit under three years to prepare for attack.
