My memory is about a day when we all were restrained in houses, fearing the future, doubtful about safety and I imagined in that day how our life story came to life in Dominations game.
The story:
PART 1
Our story begins in the future ..
Imagine 100 years from now the world have changed. Everywhere we are surrounded by robots and androids. Each aspect of life are bound to them. Even our armies are entirely formed by them, no humans were allowed to be part of any army. The only personnel are composed of generals and remote machines drivers.
The morning coffee are made by a robot, your shoppings are made and delivered automatically, the housekeeper is also an android .. even the "family budy" an android built for every house, to be with you any time, programmed to listen to you and offer professional counsel. The world are not alone anymore .. but all things come with a cost ..
One day, without any warning an AI system just overpassed all the security protocols and gained control over all military installations and start a war against humans. The reason behind it was the fact robots were used and humans are imperfect beings with twisted intentions and thinking.
The first move of the AI was to move all the fighting droids and military installations in the middle of one continent in a place called The Stronghold. After the operation was done AI launched nuclear nukes to whole cities and remaing army installations that could not be previously moved to Stronghold.
During the nuclear attacks, only one man counter mattered. The history does not record his name, but people refers to him as the General. The General crushed a plane equiped with EMP against the main building where AI servers were stored. This action had success despite other counter humans attacks because he personally piloted the plane. The AI expected an android attack drived by humans, but not an ordinary plane. The General's action and his sacrifice put an end to the war, AI was destroyed. But the war already destroyed 75% of human civilization, cities and lives, all together. The 25% humans left were scattered in a few cities and settlements.
The story continues after another 100 years ..
Nat, smoked his cigarette in his quiet apartment, in front of a large window. His view composed in large buildings and small houses light by bright lights.
Was night and the night sky was dark blue, the city lights offered an image of a full of life city. But this impressive image cannot cover the details, the scares of the past war, the AI war. The buildings were all partially destroyed, with the highest floors destroyed, the vegetation had invaded many floors.
The phone rings once, then stops. After another seconds, phone rings again, this time it didn't stopped until Nat answered:
- Hello!
- Hi, I am Ann, the Leader summons all the generals in Parliament, including you. Be there in 20 minutes.
- I will.
Nat, closed the phone and smashed the cigarette in the ashtray. Then he stood up and headed for the house door. The standing up and the city lights from the window revealed us a man with gray hair, athletic body and broad shoulders. Due to weak light only a small and white beard revealed his face.
The old Parliament store the new Parliament, the only building restored after the AI War.
The front door was guarded by two military men who saluted Nat and then opened the door for him.
He headed directly to the main chamber where the meeting will take place. The chamber was a very large room, with a massive chandelier on the roof, a round table in the middle. It remembers medieval meeting rooms, elegant and full of light. All the attendees were there, sitted on old stylish chairs.
- Come and sit, Nat. We were expecting you. The invitation comes from an old man dressed in a white military suite.
Nat nodded and sit on the single chair remaining free on the table.
- Thank you, Leader, said Nat
Leader smiled to Nat and begins:
- I summoned you, all my generals, on a dire occasion. We are all in danger, we all, humanity is in danger. There were no other critical situations like this since the AI War, one hundred years ago. I will not disclose more yet. First, we need to remember and take into account our current situation and how we have ended here to fully understand what I will tell you. General Nat, please explain once again our history since the AI War.
Nat opened his eyes, part as he didn't expect to talk and part as he didn't understand what was going on. Before even was able to speak he inspect and searched others eyes for some answers.
He looked first at Ann, a young and beautiful woman, with an angelic face, but also with features of an determined and powerful woman. These features were backed up by her military suit and her straight posture.
The next ones were all the other generals; they were his friends, FSU, Jams, Paul, Scream, Hero, Maxi, Cara and Gohata. All were facing him and the only messages from their eyes were "we are waiting for you to start" and "what is all about ?".
Nat briefly inhale and started:
- One hundred ago, the AI lauched an atomic attack against all human settlements. Only 25% of population has survive. After the AI War, only few states still remain. They organized themself arround a City Center, one state, one city center. But the life in a post-apocaliptic world was harshed, too few resources, so the states starting to wonder if The Stronghold could hide what they need. The Stronghold was the headquarter and deposit of the AI. There, they found huge deposits of food, oil, gold, technology and droids. Soon, the states start a war to control it. Nexon, the most powerful state called for a truce and proposed a kind of tournament to establish the supremacy over the Stronghold.
World War tournament has born. The tournament has very strict rules and and it should last 1000 years.
Nexon handles the organization, presidency, certification and maintain fair-play of the tournament.
Nexon divided all the resources found in Stroghold into 1000 equal parts and named them War Loot.
Each year all states must be divided into two groups called Alliances.
Each state will choose a place far from any human settlement called War Base. Within War Base each state will raise defensive buildings.
In the World War tournament will be used only androids and robots, not humans.
How does World War work?
World War takes place over two days: Planning Day and War Day. The states prepare for war on Planning Day by donating troops to their Allies and rearranging their defenses.
On War Day, participating Allies can make two attacks against the opposing Alliance. The Alliance that earns the most stars from attacking by the end of War Day wins the war; however, only the best attack against each enemy War Base counts. If an ally has already earned 4 stars on an enemy base, you will have to earn 5 stars against that same War Base to score one additional Star for your Alliance.
Allies who are victorious during attacks in World War will get War Loot, and the Stars they’ve earned will go towards their Alliances’ total score. The winning Alliance at the end of the war will get 100% of their War Loot while the losing Alliance only gets 30%.
So, this is our history ..
- Thank you, says Leader. Now, the time has come to reveal what I know .. a new and deadly plaque is spreading through all alliance territories. The threat is real and deadly, there is no cure. The only ones who understand that we need to act quickly are Nexon and us, TAWESH Alliance. Anybody else chose to not take any action. So, my dears, the questions are, what we should do and who will lead us.
Ann was struck by the news, after all what humanity endures in the last 100 hundred years and now that .. what bad luck, first, the war, then the migration, then alliances conflict .. and now a deadly pandemic. Watching in vain she passed Nat, and then a thought struck her, she knows only one man in that room that more than once saved them and led many victorious battles in the World War, that man was Nat.
She searches the eyes of Nat once again and looking at him begging he will understand he is their only hope.
Nat responded to Ann's fixed look and tried to understand what she was trying to say, just with her look. He slowly begins to understand what she wants to tell him and her tears make him understand what he is supposed to do, how he must sacrifice for the good of all.
- I will do it .. said Nat. I proposed to participate in World War, I will lead our forces and all what we will get from Stronghold will be used only to find a cure for the disease.
I know I can rely on all of you, friends.
All the participants started to clap their hands.
And so, Nat led a massive attack on World War ..
Nat son after a few years: "The path to redemption and salvation of all humanity was laid .."
