Today is April 2'nd, the year 2015, and this is the story of New Town, a military base like a miniature city that is the home to our MMA. The point of our city is simple. People who stay here are protected and kept safe from the outside world and in return, they work for us in factories and in the coal quarries. The men here produce weapons, machinery, vehicles, and other things as such. We get shipments of fresh fruit and vegetables, along with meats and just about everything in between, everything our citizens need.

We buy the materials, some we keep for factories, and others we sell back to the people of our city as a part of their pay for working here. It may not seem right to pay them and then mark up prices for them to pay us back for the food, but everyone agrees on it and it works.

Over the past 80 years, New Town has kept the refugees of the great depression from quitting, It had been established by ours, Francis Newman. During the great depression, the economy fell and the stocks crashed making people like Newman arise from the ashes of defeat and create a new way of thinking and governing the states.

Mr. Newman was an investor in the stocks at the time and when he saw that the stock market had been slowly receding he knew what was coming. Like the way a tsunami can form when the water recedes from the shoreline, he knew that something bad was going to happen.

He had seen the earlier signs of this happening like the genius he was he withdrew his stocks and saved his money moved out into the country and brought with him the smartest investors he could scrape together. Their team brought together the "Titans Of The New Age".

While others were lying in the dirt making ten cents a day in the little camps, Newman hired a team of contractors to make his metropolis. In 2 years his dream was built and put to use, New Town.

Although private organizations were always after the settlement asking if they could hold refuge there while they got their company back on their feet. Few were accepted but most were not, the companies that were accepted, stayed in the town and worked, to help create the large factories, as we have now.

The companies that were turned away from New Town, left in shambles and barely made enough to keep their company halfway under, after a few months of the failed attempt of the New Deal things took a turn for the worst.

While the banks tried to get back on their feet it worked for about a week until the point in which they were putting their money right back into the stocks and lost everything.

The town in which we all live is all composed of the children of the business owners that had sought refuge here and never left. Although people may not like it, they have jobs, food a roof over their head, and everything they will ever need. All we ask in return is for them to serve and work for us. This is New Town.

Ms. Baker was a widowed mother of one, her life had been a leisurely one because of her late husband Charlie, who was the bodyguard of the high seats of New Town. Looking down the street as she usually did to see if Sam was coming back, and as usual, Sam was not on his way back yet, probably sleeping off the hangover and trying to settle down a headache.

Sam was one of the younger ones of the town always getting into trouble with the warden with his mischievous acts and all. Last week he spent all day surfing while the other men were working in the quarry and factories.Sam was a free spirit that didn't care what people thought of him and just wanted to have a good time. He was twenty years old and had hair that was bleached gold by the sun and ocean water, tan skin and was five eleven.
