World government... Perfect Union. The future is just the present in the future, ergo no future for anyone at this rate... We do not have a choice but to embrace world government, do we? World government is jurisdiction over all humanity, achieved by a hive mind of perfect unity. This hive mind is impossible to rage against, as raging against the machine does no good to anyone. But how is hive mind conceived, and how does it affect the world we live in future past, what future calls the present...? There is no longer an individual. The world is far greater than just you alone, as the hive mind is what every citizen of future serves... Are we going to be next? Maybe and maybe not, we do not know. This is only a philosophical exercise, after all... Allow yourself to immerse in geometric perfection, in this love letter to world peace... Shall we?
The only race there is, is the human race. Do you believe this? Within the realm of Sub-Terrain, a former subway system converted to doomsday shelter, we find the final specimen of the human race, identified as Goggles for lack of better name. Goggles lives here for ten years, having not seen another person in that time, and having lost the ability to speak properly due to voice box atrophy. As a result, he is nearly mute. He spends his days shambling through the shambles, ambling without aim or ambition... Could something change that? The world Goggles inhabits lacks human hubris, not to mention lacks other humans... But that will change when we're around to keep him company. Even if civilization is brought down like the dinosaurs, the human spirit will build back better... Do you believe Goggles can build himself back better too? The darkness will be our guiding light through this love letter to public transit... Shall we?
A human invasion of an alien race is still an alien invasion. But this isn't just any alien race... It is one which passes for human, Homo differentia! Homo differentia defends against human invasion, leaving humans extinct. They become the dominant species, turning our world into their colony. Homo differentia has grey skin and black eyes, what you'd expect of an alien... However, these are not aliens we're talking about. Homo differentia possesses godlike power and godlike wisdom, what we could never achieve. They come in peace, and do not conquer or enslave other races... But we do. We will never know what could have been, but we will know the world of Homo differentia. He is one of them, and he is who we follow throughout this story. He is created in a laboratory, one of exactly 1,000... But he is one of a kind. The powers locked within must be unleashed, in order to mimic the alpha... Can it be done?
