Thread: Brave New World (Razgriz x darkangel76)

Year 6653 The Earth was doomed or rather, its people were as many had predicted. The oceans were horrifically polluted, the air had grown near impossible to breathe without filtration, and the food supply was running out. It was so bad that people had to travel in tubes connecting their homes and the governments of the various nations had to imposing incredibly strict rationing protocols. Disease was rampant and people died by the hundreds of thousands every day...Except for the financially well-off and those who had something truly exemplary to give to society. However, it wasnt all bad to some people Even with the people suffering, the reduced populations meant that more focus could be put on technology, and with it came stunning advances in all areas of science and manufacturing. The only downside was that the common folk the middle class having been all but erased could not afford these things by and large, and still many more would die off. Because of this, the wealthy and other chosen few were gifted in that they could actually own their own house food was in good supply for them and overall did not have the worries of the 'common man'. All others had to live in modified high-rise buildings, canned together like sardines and wait for food shipments to be delivered and distributed. It was truly a horrific sight and to make matters worse, it seemed like they wouldn't even live to enjoy that much. An enormous asteroid, twice as big as the one that supposedly killed the dinosaurs, was on a collision course with Earth having already hit a gravitational keyhole, impact was an unavoidable certainty. To combat this, the governments of the world had only one option Save a select few, their best and brightest, and give them means to survive the impact. For those selected, they would that it would require something unusual Giving consent for a procedure that would shut their bodies down and allow them to survive the coming apocalypse. No one knew where the procedure came from or who invented well they did, but it turned out that the submitter was a false identity. Even still, with this, trials performed on some of the lesser populations proved that it was an effective means of preservation. The sole document had everything How to build the nanites and the stasis cells, how to replace the blood with the serum containing said nanites, literally everything even including structural plans for specially-designed bunkers that would allow the majority of those chosen to survive magnitude-10 earthquakes and above. And so it was that those who were accepted into the program underwent the procedure and were placed into the bunkers thankfully, the bunkers themselves were completed well before the asteroid would hit. Soon, the bunkers were sealed tight, buried deep within the mantle of the Earth itself as the remaining citizens were left to fend for themselves. Some tried to find the bunkers, but all failed, and could only wait for the great collision in a flash, billions were annihilated. Taken from the face of the planet in the blink of an eye, the world's surface forever terraformed by the force of the asteroid's impact. When or if the survivors emerged from their cells, they would find the world much different. Year 9519 The first of the new humans emerged from their stasis cells, taken aback by the new world they found themselves in in the nearly three thousand years they were gone, nature had largely restored itself. However, much of the land was now barren desert the impact of the asteroid had decimated much of the forestry, leaving many regions without trees or plants. The terrain had changed much as well, leaving almost nothing that wasnt rocky flatlands or mountainous expanse. However, this would prove useful to the newly arrived humans the total number was unknown of how many had awakened, but it numbered less than twenty million as people tried to re-establish a sense of order into this chaos. And from these ranks rose a very powerful and charismatic man, one Anselm Ehrlichmann before he was selected to be in the Resurrection of Mankind or ROM he was a gifted and natural born leader of the old country of Germany. His clock had frozen when the nanites were installed in his body, so he was still the young age of twenty-eight biologically speaking despite being so young, however, he would soon prove his capacity to lead. And so from his natural ability to lead came a rise to power and order that few suspected but many appreciated having many of his former associates with him also helped greatly, as they were able to build a fine city that would be the envy of all. And though it took many years, to this day it was still the shining jewel of the new world, the beacon that summoned all who wanted a sense of the old life back. In this city what would come to be called the Capital City he was a fair and just King. It wasnt the system of democracy that people were used to, but more modeled along the parliament system that Great Britain had used so long ago. Year 9639, Present Day It was these memories that rolled through his mind as he sat upon his throne, dressed in extremely elegant clothing befitting one of his status. His sapphire blue eyes glinted with intelligence and passion for his position in the light that filtered through the windows of the Castle, the great building in the center of Berlin where the Royal Family presided. The shoulder-length platinum hair framed his strong-face and the well-groomed beard help add a certainly sagely quality to his appearance. His size from his Scandinavian heritage - his height standing at about six and a half feet tall - did off-put people at times, but once the people saw his demeanor they knew there was nothing violent or overly aggressive about this man. However, none of that really mattered he was King and the people were happy. He was just about to dismiss his advisors from a rather tiresome meeting nothing out of the ordinary had happened, mostly status updates and those seeking advice and assistance on matters of this and that. Poverty was being slowly reduced, businesses were seeing a tremendous growth in traffic, and the quality of life as the people had rated was at an all-time high. However, that all took a back seat when it came to the most important thing in the room His lovely Queen that graced his side to think that they met - in his eyes, at least - such a short time ago. Then again, who was he to deny taking her to be his Queen? Her perfection was something that could hardly stand to be put for words alone. My Lord and Lady, will there by anything else? he then heard an advisor, a slightly portly dark-skinned man in a clean-pressed suit by the name of Reginald Thaddeus, ask to jar him from a state of slight daydreaming.
