## **STORY SHORT SUMMARY**

> Our story takes place 20 years after the war in the year 2116. It takes place in Lagos. Lagos is surrounded by a dome.
>
>

> About 50 years prior, in 2065, Africa started the Inama Genome Project. The project went sour after a couple of years and the Inama virus broke loose. By the year 2071, Africa was quarantined off from the rest of the world by military sea occupation. The population in Africa was reduced to 100 million, who found safe harbor in Lagos and sealed it off with the dome to be safe from the virus.
>
>

> Ins 2096 World War 3 broke out after Cho Lun created the Super AI, Friend #4. The war devastated the world and quickly become nuclear. By the year 3001, the world was a nuclear wasteland. Humans pilgrimaged to Africa, to harvest the sun’s energy and be safe under the dome. By 2116, the population of Africa was at 210 million people -- 150 million of those were Africa and the rest immigrants from all over the world.
>
>

> Lagos was divided into zones. As the city became massively overpopulated, more and more technology -- more and more engineers -- were necessary to maintain a somewhat decent lifestyle. Immigrants were given a rating. Engineers had the highest rating. Military personnel was also quite valued. Military immigrants were generally forced to man the harbor-borders in order to avoid unwanted immigrants to enter the city. Many immigrants also traded things of value to gain entry and status: Mechas, AI, weapons, etc. Anyone that could contribute to infrastructure, dome expansion or the war efforts was welcomed with open arms.
>
>

> Society became divided. Some immigrants were piss poor and others were able to use their skills or goods to achieve high status. Africans that were left behind were generally quite unhappy about that. Immigration hate became a thing. Immigrants were blamed for a lot of problems like slum housing and the reproduction permits. And, truthfully, Africans were justified in their complaints. Even worse, due to the massive overpopulation, the city held yearly regulation games in order to keep the number of people manageable.
>
>

> While the act of regulating caused a lot of discrimination and hate, the games themselves were highly popular and a yearly spectacle.

> Surrounding the dome is inama territory. Due to being able to reproduce at a tremendous rate, the inama’s numbers quickly rose above one billion. Africa was their land. They are not particularly opposed to the nation of Lagos and accept it. However, every expansion of the dome is a huge problem for the inama, as it directly and massively hinders their ability to harvest the sun’s energy and also erodes the nature around it. Thus, the humans’ need for expansion was the cause of much conflict. A conflict that was a matter of survival for both sides.
>
>

> The last human-inama war took place 10 years ago, in the year 2106. It was very bloody and fought to a stalemate. Thus, the human attempts at expansion was unsuccessful. As the inama are not aggressive until prompted by human expansion plans, the city of Lagos soon had a shift in politics: Avoid conflict and apply diplomacy to find a way to co-exist peacefully. The PFA rose to power, led by Arkana. There has been no war since, but the PFA is highly opposed by the Humanitarian party, led by Serras.
>
>

> Both party leaders and the majority of relevant party members are Africans. Immigrants have not yet ascended to be featured in prominent political positions -- the hate runs too deep. The hate is not just founded on the fact that immigrants are taking up space in Lagos, it is also due to the fact that the current immigrants are the former colonizers and the fact that the last colonization & raiding of Africa was not so long ago.
> To make societal tensions even worse, there was a lot of conflict amongst the immigrants themselves. After all, they come from regions all over the world and had just fought World War 3 against each other. Thus the zones in Lagos were true melting pots of different cultures, languages, ideologies, and agendas.
>
>

> Getting all humans united in an orderly fashion to face the inama is a difficult task with ever-increasing urgency, as the inama reproduce at tremendous speeds and are constantly increasing in numbers, which further cements their refusal to give up land as their need for it and sunlight steadily increases.
>
>

> In order to advance in the power struggle against the inama, humans are working hard on advancing AI, but the equation block put in place by Cho Lun’s Super AI, is impossible to get around. Thus AI shipments from the rest of the world are crucial to the war efforts. There is a big AI market, both for warfare and for the sex industry -- which is crucial at keeping society satisfied in a time where real sex is highly regulated.
>
>

> Thus far, the AI scavenged from the war zones or developed within Lagos is not close to any general intelligence level. While they do aid in construction, everyday life, communication, infrastructure, and warfare, they are not the deciding x-factor. Without getting past Cho Lun’s firewall, there will be no significant improvements.
