- A DARK VISION OF THE FUTURE
-
-
- The year is 3127. So much things have changed since the 20th Century. The
- Human kind is spread throughout all the galaxy, but this was also due to the
- fact that the Earth had been partly radioactive contaminated. A Nuclear War had
- been the main cause, but it did not last for long. It was just a matter of a
- few hours and then all was over. Unfortunately it was too late. They say that
- man learns from his own errors. Most of Earth's population managed to survive,
- but due to radioactivity some people had been mutated. The mutation did not
- generate any extra powered humans, but only altered their body & skin structure,
- so they now looked more animal like. Nowadays some are even saying that they
- are no longer humans! Less than 0.000000001% of the mutated population also
- developed PSI abilities. But not everything went wrong. Some of the stronger
- nations were equipped with anti radiation reactors, so this part of the
- population managed to avoid the contamination, but later they were forced to
- leave Earth, as other planets offered a better living place. All this ensured a
- dark future, where the Human kind had to fight for their survival. But this
- time the fight was not against any Alien Kind or Terminator machines, as
- Earthlings used to fantasised, but just against themselves!
-
- Five Space Colonies have been installed and three cities were built on the Moon.
- Many Earthlings had moved to the Moon, so through the forthcoming years it had
- enough resources to be considered as an independent planet, and nowadays has its
- own LAWS and GOVERNMENT! Computer systems are being exclusively controlled via
- Neural Interfaces. With the help of Matrix Grids, connections to other Planets
- & Colonies can be established by the use of HYPER PULSE Generators.
-
- In the beginning of the year 2152, rumours were saying that it was now possible
- to have your body Cybernetic Improved! Humans laughed at this news, but it
- seemed that the mutants were getting very interested. Years later all those
- rumours were confirmed. That stuff was called CYBERWARE! CyberWare mainly
- consisted of HEADWARE, BODYWARE and LIMBS.
-
- The HeadWare enabled everyone to install Extra MEMORY, an internal NEURAL
- INTERFACE, CHIP CARRIERS, CPUs, SPUs, I/O Interface Skillsoft Carriers, CYBER
- EYEs & EARs, Gas & Air FILTER LUNGS... whatever you wished, but only for huge
- sums of Dollar$! Such pretty Hardware would eat up all your LOAN easily, so
- this only enabled some Mercenaries or the best paid computer experts, nowadays
- called DECKERS, to install such Hardware.
-
- BodyWare enabled minor arsenal, Shotguns and Pistols to be built into the arms,
- RETRACTABLE SPURS into your Hands or Fingers and HYDRAULIC JACKS into your Legs.
- Steel or ALUMINIUM BONES were also available.
-
- There was also some Headware which was only limited for Military use, such as
- TACTICAL COMPUTERS or CORTEX BOMBS. Possession of this fucking nice Hardware
- could easily bring you in deep trouble! There are only two possible ways to use
- them! One (a real ONE WAY) is to install all the HeadWare in your own BRAIN!
- The other way is to install it into the brain of someone and get all the job
- done by him! Whichever way is used, there is no guarantee for a long survival!
-
- One corporation, ARES ARMS + CYBER RESEARCH LTD, is about to take control of all
- The COLONIES. They want to form a SuperPower and take a sure, secure and
- successful hit against the mutants. The corporation leader, ALLISTER MC
- TRAMPLER is suspected to be one of the major activists at the HUMANIS POLICLUB,
- a secret Organisation which is also working for a MUTANT FREE WORLD.
-
- But the TERRAN FOUNDATION, the GALACTIC COUNCIL for all COLONIES, had set up a
- LAW which protects the rights of MUTANTS to WORK and LIVE. All colonies voted
- for this Law, except the Moon colony! A Law which is established by the
- GALACTIC COUNCIL can only be removed if 55% vote against it. But the HUMANIS
- POLICLUB had not so much influence to get 55%, so MC TRAMPLER planed to take
- over the other Colonies to get his MUTANT LAW active. Therefore he has hired
- some cruel Mercenaries and Deckers, well supplied with ARES' Cyberware and war
- equipment. But unfortunately a Mutant Decker seems to have discovered a little
- piece of this plan.
-
- The Mutant Decker lives on FORTRESS, a colony in the KEID System. Alone he
- can't do any harm, so MC TRAMPLER decides to wipe him out immediately, to avoid
- any further trouble! Life is hard, but for Mutants it's harder! MC TRAMPLER's
- hirelings discover that Sven, the Mutant Decker, was hanging near the HUMANIS
- POLICLUB COMPUTER NET...
