The place: Earth... The time: Early 22nd Century…
The situation: Desperate!
Hmm, let me explain a little more…
Mankind is still around, though God and Mother Nature have tried their damndest to eradicate us. A hundred years of abnormal solar activity and tectonic repercussions have reduced the population to an almost insignificant amount.
But hope springs eternal… ‘Governments’ around the globe are exerting a new influence on the scattered enclaves of survivors, gathering them under strict, protective and ‘civilized’ umbrellas.
Apart from these new regimes which some (if not most) consider a threat to their previous way of life, there is another, much more sinister problem arising in many areas…
Tribrids - as the scientists call ‘em - appear to have evolved as a direct result of the forces that almost scoured mankind from the Earth.
And finally (hopefully), in New Britain among others, the resurgence of religious fanaticism in the form of Zealots puts further constraints on previously free men as they reluctantly join the new order.
Me.? Hell yeah, I have an important function in the scheme of things; I’m a Ranger. We’re what pass for the Military and Policing Force around here. Our role, in addition to mundane law enforcement, is to roam the countryside, locate enclaves of settlement and guide the inhabitants to the larger cities where they can be more useful. We also gather information, equipment, techniques and ideas from the old days.
And now there’s a rumour they want volunteers for a special ops mission into the Magna Forest…
