Ascension - Sci Fi

So, since I have to re-think the direction I'm heading with Myrias, I posted the opening chapter to a sci-fi story I'm working on.  I already finished the first Act of a screenplay for this story, but I've decided there's enough depth to the story for a novel. 

Story is called "Ascension."
Tag-line is : A story about humanity, and the god we created.
Chapter 1 is up.  Will post Chapter 2 once I feel good about Chapter 1.

Thanks for all feedback.  This site has been hugely helpful.
