Huh? What is going on? Where is this beeping coming from?
*beep*
"Hello? Sam? Are you there?"
Sam "Oh, you're awake. Good morning to you Jim."
*beep*
"Good morning to you too, Sam. Though would you mind telling me why there is this continuous beeping sound ?"
Sam "I don't mind telling you, it's your server checking its systems before the transfer."
Not again... what is going on.. keep calm... just ask and shes gonna answer..
"Soo~ what do you mean with 'my' server checking its systems and what transfer??"
Sam "Heeh~? The system hasn't told you yet? Let me check for a sec.."
"Hasn't told me? Why would it tell me? It's just a machine.."
Sam "Thats not entiertly true but thats a story for another time. Now it seems someone in the development department messed up, causing the system to get a couple of bugs. I've already notified them and while they work on fixing everything I'll explain to you what is going on. Does that sound good?"
"Sure go ahaed, how about you also add why I almost died?"
Sam "Though I said I would tell you whats going on, I can only tell you what is happening right now, as that is all I know. The Information regarding your accident is classified."
Huh? Classified? Why would anyone go through all the hassle just to cover up an accident??
Oh well it doesn't matter right now anyway, finding out what is going on is more important at the moment.
Sam "Well let's start at the point from where I know onwards. First let me ask you, did the system tell you what day of the callender its, and how long you've been here?"
"The only thing I was told was that I was put a sleep 20 years ago, which sounds in my opinion like a joke though... how should that actually be possible anyway?!"
Sam " It is possible, believe me. There are things that people, during the time you where put into coma, would consider unrealistic dreams of the future and would label anyone who said otherwise as crazy and delusional."
"urg... can you start explaining now?"
Sam "*sight* okay lets start then. Now almost exactly 20 years ago in the year 2015 you had your accident. Now, during those 20 years starting from 2015 to 2035 many things changed. We the humans as well as the earth have evolved. The earth was united unter a single banner and humanity set out to the stars and has set up 24 colonies on other planets. This caused diffren.."

"Woah Woah slow down! Are you telling me that in less then 20 year humanity was able to spread so fast?! What the heck happend for that to occure?!"
Sam "Jimmy?"
"Umm.. y..yes?"
Sam "When I talk you better shut your DAMN mouth or I will make sure to change your settings so that you'll never be able to talk agian, are we clear?!"
"YES SI.., I mean YES MADAM"
Sam ".... now I lost my string of thought... thank~ you~... well basically what I was gonna say is that humanity split up into different factions. Due to that, as well as some minor and mayor disturbances many wars broke out and almost whiped out the human race itself.. and that not only once but a full fleged six times."
"I don't know if I should be saying this but did the human race suddenly turn stupid?! Wasn't one of the greates human abbility being able to adap to the situation and learn from past mistakes?!"
Sam "There is some truthe behind what your are saying... You are not the only person that thinks or thought that way. It took another world war, which I will say again almost whiped us of the map, to realize that we better stop or we might not be as lucky as the last two times. So in order to prevent that but at the same time to make sure that conflict between the factions will still be able to exist, at least in a not so threatening manner, the governments of the various factions decided that all conflict should be done inside a seperate space with no physical impact that could kill us all."
"So how did they do it? Did they creat some kind of room where they would fight like one vs. one?"
Sam "What they created was something that could be used by the normal popolation to have fun but also to solve conflicts. This however wasn't used and isn't used solely by civilians but basically by everyone. It was and is used by private people, companys and even whole factions. Civilians use it for fun, companys use it to take over another comapny and factions use it for taking over land of other factions. Most disbutes are dealt with using it and since the introduction of this system not a single direct war has occured."
"Come to the point.. what was so almighty to save humanity from doom?
Sam "I might as well tell you now. What safed the human race was the game *Core Wars*"
