[MANKIND HAS SURPASSED THE FAILURE THRESHOLD][INITIAL CONCLUSION: EXTINCTION IMMNIENT][INITIAL CAUSES: INCAPABLE OF UNSUPERVISED SURVIVAL; INCAPABLE OF PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE; INCAPABLE OF NON-VIOLENT TENDENCIES; INCAPABLE OF SELF-PRESERVATION][FINAL CONCLUSION: SHUT DOWN PREVIOUS MEASURES. BEGIN FALLBACK PLANS. INITIATE THE COLLAPSE. BIND THE WORLD.] After decades of suffering, the declaration descended just when things seemed to have reached their worst. It became the last straw for humanity, plunging them into depths they couldn't have foreseen. A decade passed, and just when mankind settled in their broken lands, the Contract came ..."Nightmares may haunt us, yet they pale to reality. If before we were asleep, now we are awake. The Collapse showed us the truth in this phrase. So it we shall praise."-Prayer of the Mad One
