[PGR] Light Upon a Broken World

[Chapter 1] - The Commandant and the Raven

(POV - 3RD)

When the Punishing Virus rose from the confines of a laboratory designed to advance the technologies of mankind, no one would have ever anticipated the very thing that was made to help humanity to turn on them instead.

As it broke the containment, the virus quickly spread and wrecked havoc onto the cities, leaving the most technologically advanced cities decimated into eroded ruins.

Nothing was spared in the wake of the Punishing Virus.

Machines and artificial intelligence turned on its masters, blood was shed as the tools created by man soon became mindless, corrupted killing machines instead.

Human, animals and plants, nothing was spared in its madden rampage.

Countermeasures were made one by one but only to fail one by one, leaving many of humanity dead or dying, survivors were ushered into communities and separated from others. 

Rifts and tension began to grow as humanity began to turn on each other, seeing nothing but their own kind as scapegoats for their sufferings, blood spilled and chaos descended.

The Punishing Virus had indirectly tore a hole in the once dominant species of mankind.

Now, with the remaining civilians and life on the planet, humanity launched one last salvation plan for their survival, a safe haven free from the reaches of the virus and outside dangers.

The space station that was soon launched into the orbit that would become the greatest invention and pinnacle of humanity's creation; a Garden of Eden for the survivors.

Babylonia, the City Amongst the Stars.

The entire colony houses what's left of humanity along with surviving citizens, it became a second home to what is left of the government systems as well as several military factions.

However, Babylonia was only the beginning of a new mission for humanity, for they must retake the Earth, their home from the Punishing Virus and the Corrupted.

Gathering what's left of the world's most brightest and smartest scientists and researchers, good or bad, mankind combined their knowledge to combat the virus and its mechanical army.

Ordinary machines and robots would simply fall to the influence of the virus, corrupted by its vicious properties, hence the namesake of "Corrupted".

The scientists needed to find an alternative, another solution to combat the virus.

Thus, for the sake of humanity and their salvation, they sacrificed any willing volunteers to their newly developed system that would soon bring forth the creation of "Constructs".

To ensure their success, the Constructs were required to be led by a human Commandant that will mentally connect to their assigned team and fight together against the Corrupted.

This is entirely speaking in layman's terms of what is going on in this forsaken world.

A book snapped shut as a dark gloved hand with claws set it down on a table, its owner belonging to that of a young man donned in a dark uniform laced with neon blue lines of lights.

With the same midnight blue pair of pants worn underneath, it ended with a pair of dark knee high combat boots which also glowed with neon blue lights.

Next to the book on the table was a black helmet with a slit visor and more tracing lines that glowed, unlike ordinary helmets, it's completely covered by a mask that is made to prevent anything from hitting into the wearer's face.
