__________________________________________________
A world submerged, the denizens have adapted to living in the deeps for the past thousand years. The world is split into Six different Domes and the lands surrounding. Athens, Atlantis, Thebes, New Troy, Sparta, and the Capital, Alexandria. The humans have recently, in the last 30 years, made a peace treaty with the Tribal Merfolk, known as Aquariqi. Already tensions are building high between the Humans and the Aquariqi, and smaller fights have started turning to full out riots, but the leaders do nothing to stop them. The leaders of the merfolk and humans are part of a council, there is one merfolk and one human on council for each dome there are, in total, 12 men and women on the council. No law is passed, nor action executed without both the Human and the Aquariqi's unanimous decision. When some thought all couldn't get any worse.. It did.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of our glorious world." A voice rang out on the loudspeakers. The people of Athens looked up at the large televisions on the surrounding buildings. "Today, we of the Drought will show you, the world of our full extent of our power." A series of murmurs spread throughout the crowds of Athens and everyone stood staring at the screens, wondering what was going on. The man on screen continued, "Today, at 8:00 PM, Either Athens or Thebes will be destroyed. Charges have been expertly placed around each of the Domes. The time is.." The man on screen looked at his watch, "1:00 O'Clock. Your governments have Several hours to decide which dome will be destroyed. And if no descision can be come to, both Domes will be destroyed. People of Athens and Thebes.. I would suggest trying to get your leaders to decide quickly.. Wouldn't want to end the night badly, can we?" The screen blinked out and the regular advertisments came back online, but it wasn't long before mass panic spread throught both Athens and Thebes..
The mass panic changed into full out riots within an hour. Aquariqi and Human fighting one another, or even amongst themselves. Within another three hours, both cities were at war with themselves. Sides had been taken, those who would rather their own city be destroyed than anothers, and those that would destroy the other city for the chance to stay alive. All the while, the people thought the leaders to be discussing the pressing matter.
At 7:00 PM, no descision had so far been made, all fighting had ceased, and everyone lay in waiting to see what would happen. Fires burned in each city, and noone was there to stop what was happening. The local forces had been pulled back for the safety of the councils..
At 8:00 PM.. Both Athens and Thebes were destroyed. Explosions rang out throughout the two domes almost in sync. Those who survived the explosions wouldn't last long. The cracks in the domes were too great, too many, to stop the Great Collapse. Even the Aquariqi couldn't survive the speedily increasing pressure, and swift waters. It was slaughter at it's finest.. and one thought rang out in everyone's mind around the other domes.
"Why wasn't this prevented?" The question remained unanswered for many more years. The Drought Group had gained quite the name in the next few years. Now Ten years later, the Drought Group is known for what it really is. A group of Terrorists. The Drought group gains ahold of people through fear, and power, and soon two out of four domes are under Drought control. Enter the Nautilus. A group of young people, Ex-Soldiers and other freedom fighters, all uniting together to stop Drought. Enter Nautilus.. Enter the fight for Freedom.
