The world has fallen into a desolate existence that one only dreamed of in the past. This world is nothing but deserts and polluted land areas, the oceans suffering just as much as the once lush landscapes did over five hundred centuries ago. The hot and humid lands scorch away the greenery, the cracked earth completely desolate of life. There is one area, however, one city within its own bubble. The structure, built and maintained in Washington, contains a community of people living their lives without a worry.
ECHELON is the superior power of the days, taking control of the above ground cities that survived. The inhabitants, the civilians, go about their day without a care in the world, following the inhibitions to live to the fullest. They are the innocents in this new world – they know nothing and do not know their power, their potential to break free from the cage. Conversations are unknowingly monitored by the advanced technology, the food and diet of the people regulated in such a way no one truly notices the simplicity of it all. A curfew is set only a few hours after the burning sun sets in the west, leaving the streets empty and cold.
There are always two sides to a coin, this we know. The Zodiuns are inhabitants of the underground, the people who have views worthy of ECHELON’s attention, and are very much against the government. They seek to overpower the government, expose the truths that no one sees. They witnessed the turn of the world, the transformation from the free lands to ruins. They were those who had an opinion in the beginning, and who refused to conform to the changes. To the Zodiuns, the End of All Days was the beginning of the fall. The Zodiuns were the ones to believe that things would go wrong; they knew that their own people would one day turn on them and commit mass genocide.
Making humans docile was easy – the only thing that needed to be watched for was rebellion. After the world sank into desolate, radiated territory, ECHELON emerged from the underground, beginning construction on the first city that the new world would see. The cleansing of the new world completed, ECHELON ignored any and all remaining humans that were different than the specimens chosen and that were cloned, and let them be to die out eventually. At least that is what ECHELON's believed would happen.
Zodius, the community of rebels, stands strong, having built up its foundation as the Rebellion over the last five centuries. Now they are making their move, taking all Zodiuns, those who share their way of thinking, those they know belong to their culture, from the cities and securing their safety in the safe houses the rebels have formed under the ECHELON-built cities, hidden in the tunnels that were once subways and sewers. Though it's only a matter of time before ECHELON discovers them and obliterates the opposition.
Which side will you choose to stand with when war emerges once more?
