The Place- The world, The Change (setting)

At one time, in the beginning of the 22st century, the world was prosperous for most people. Nearly every individual had the opportunity for jobs, and were able to get education as they grew up. Cars drove heavily during rush hour. Every city bustled day and night between work and recreation. The dream was to marry with two and a half kids, and have a house with a picket fence. This was adopted from media and propaganda. They considered it as a desirable. But the world grew in disharmony. Parts of the planet became detached from one another. One such evidence of the suffering that everyone ignored was the frequency of the planet. Few people watched it, but the scientists called it the Schumann Resonance. The problem was this peaceful dream only a cover to blind one part of the world to another part. Life was rough for places that were not part of the “dream”.

These third world countries were suppressed by the world leaders. These powers instituted systems such as the Fractional Banking system for economic domination and manipulation. And when the economic enslavement failed then the “freedom treatment” was used to obliterate the infrastructure and cause massive civil unrest. For the dreamers they believed these military actions were going to free these lesser countries from oppression, but they were blind to the actual devastation their leaders caused. But most sinisterly was the stage that the world leaders set up in order to justify their plans. In most cases the lesser countries simply wanted their own freedom and choice. The actual civil problems were artificial and fake with paid bad actors that made it look like these countries needed someone else to step in. All countries subjected to this “Freedom Treatment” were unable to rise up from the ashes they were left in. Hate rose up in all these fractured places. To almost all of the ignorant populations they lived on while these hard truths were kept from them. But spilled blood calls for blood. The Schumann Resonance grew wilder and more unstable.

The Fractional Banking System’s that spread around the world siphoned off money from every country involved. They laundered this money into private funds and helped to create Companies that specialized in the manufacturing of technology, and weapons. These unlisted projects made the money vanish into underground bases and it was termed “Black Projects” for their secrecy. Once this started in earnest the technology rose slowly at first. But after the initial few years the things they developed rose exponentially. Technology of science fiction became science fact. They developed energy weapons, voice to skull technology, mind bending frequency systems, new elements on the periodic table, and many things that were only fantasy by the rest of the world’s population. So like every power hungry group they set out to dominate every mind, household, and country of the world. Of course they had to manage the population too, because with so many people it was a threat to their control. Their idea was to drop billions to only 500 million. But no plan goes off the way people expect it to.

            Strange lights flickered in the sky, and many people watched as auroras rippled through the air. Nobody understood the lights without lightning. Nor when there was thunder with no light. For various places the ground trembled, and there was no comprehension when the geological sensors all failed to have a reading. Strange crafts were seen flying about, but other than the cries of ufo’s or aliens the populous had no idea what was going on. With all the technology and power that was developed something completely unexpected happened. In a matter of a couple days all normal life ended. A Mist  rose up and covered most of the world. Initially it was not taken for the horror it brought. It was only seen as a pale white to dark gray impenetrable fog bank. But they were wrong.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

            Everything that was caught in the mist was changed. Some places seemed to age quickly while other places appeared to never age again. Some people turned into monsters that were cannibalistic and savage in nature. Other people changed, but retained their mind. Bodies all changed to various degrees. No remaining science could understand this Mist. It was a pure mystery. The only thing the world could do is adapt and change. All people who survived the contact with the “mist” became known as Mist Touched. And to a degree they became the new heroes of the day.

The special places with temperature inversions, rivers, or locations built in high elevation remained outside the touch of the mist. They were natural safe zones for local populations.  Places of special development like these “Black Projects” gained certain notoriety with the remaining population. The manufacturers of hidden technology expanded with the few resources that remained in an outward direction. Small cities were modified with walls and fans to turn away the mist. All to recover what remained of mankind. In addition safe bunkers were built into these cities. It was meant to house and provide air for the population in case of dangerous weather. When the winds become too strong or a storm brews the mist frequently overcomes the wall and the blowers. It only took one bad day for the Mist to get access into a town and by the time it is over the town could be destroyed without a plan B (Bunker).

Life wasn’t all the same. Rare resources were no longer easily obtainable in large amounts. Crude oil and gasoline was rarely obtained anymore and only shared occasionally between the weapon manufacturers. Instead an entirely new technology and energy was researched and developed for this new environment. They used frequencies, and electricity to produce cold fusion. This new reactor was created and shared to power the cities, weapons, and a new type of “air ship”.  The reactor used a complicated set up with red mercury fluid being propelled with the directional current of electricity inside a donut structure. Another current was created that came up through the inside of the donut to create two overlapping electrical fields. These overlapping fields created what most called the lighter than air effect. The whole structure was like a peg inside a donut and encased in a special egg shaped material that could handle the energy output and overlapping fields.  This was transplanted from the black projects into the air ships. Of all the elements tested with the cold fusion reactor it was the actual Mist that provided the cleanest energy with the fewest side effects.  

The Swift’s, Colt, and Brunswick companies joined their research and development. One of their greatest successes is this particular ship. The largest one built yet, as a capital ship with the longest range and a new series of weapons mounted around the perimeter. This ship is man kind’s newest hope for reclaiming the world and fighting the irrational monsters the mist has created. Special electronics and sensors were equipped with some of the most talented individuals they could gather from the cities they helped develop. The entire project is the equivalent to flying a small air craft carrier with an entire complement of crew. On some middle decks they even have additional scout and drop craft, and a few ground and water based craft on the lowest decks. With powerful turbines for thrust, weapons, and gear, the brand new ship is launched with a great deal of fan fair. As part of their mutual agreement the ship was flown from the largest of Brunswick’s Capital city, to Swift’s, then on to Colt’s. All was in order to show off their newest accomplishment and to gain additional support from the populous. To remove the need to stop and refuel the fusion reactor they added a mist scoop along the bottom. Everyone believes this is going to be the turning point for humanity. This is to be their big chance to combat the Mist and everything it contains.

Final notes found in many places. The words were never found to have definitive proof of such wild claims. Psychologists believe this ranting is stress related, or programmed prior to death. All deaths were under unusual circumstances and murder was unlikely.

“The Mist is irrational, unpredictable, and alive. Absolutely never underestimate it!”
