Earth has been at peace for hundreds of years as a world government was established, uniting all the countries that once divided it. People lived in basic harmony, with no divisions based on race, nationality, religion, or sex. Crime, though not eliminated, was dealt with swiftly. The World Government was able to hide any tragedy that would affect normal, everyday life and its citizens would go unaware of anything bad... until now.
An object from space crashed in the year 2703. The government moved quick to the crash site to investigate. They expected a great scientific find with ores from a crashed meteorite. They brought reporters to celebrate the find and bolster their public opinion that government would never hide anything from its people. Only brief seconds were seen from that live newscast, but no one would ever forget them. This was the moment when peace would be replaced with chaos and death.
A girl who was seen as the next Einstein with limitless potential, she was promised a bright future and position. That future is now shadowed with mystery and pain. Today was her day, where she would accept what was due to her for her remarkable intellect. Today was to be a celebration with friends. Chaos would rain down upon her and when it was over she would only see her own blood and the blurred images of those around her. Waking up in what seems like a nightmare with only her intelligence to protect and guide her, she will unravel the truth.
A soldier left behind to die. He is the best the government has to offer, privileged with knowledge of everything that happens in the world. He protected his targets. He would fall behind with his team securing the launch. His sole mission was to support the government and its officials and carry out their orders. Now, with no one to give orders and no government to protect, his path is his own.
A gamer nerd will rise from the depths after a series of bad events led to a failed raid on The Unbalanced MMO, where several guild mates suddenly stopped playing. For the first time in months, he will leave his mother's basement. Seeing a world in chaos and destruction he has only one choice - grab his most prized collectibles and his trusty mail order nun-chucks. Where everyone else will run and hide, a hero will rise... and it probably won't be this guy, but in his mind he is the Earth's only hope.
The mechanic - strong, kind, and understanding... with a big gun. His only goal is to survive and help those he can get to safety. He brings stability and reason to the team. He also keeps the others from shooting the nerd because of his constant comic and game references. These four will find one another and join sides to save humanity - or at least what's left of it.
