Army unplugged - Jimin saves the world

Fire

As the remaining 6 members of BTS climbed out of their pods, RM had a look of concern on his face. He was worried. They had never done a mission short of a member. They were used to moving as clockwork, relying on each and every member to fulfil their roles when called to action. Many times they moved in complete trust that the other person was there, that they did not need to look before they fell. If they fell they knew someone would be there to catch them. What if by instinct they made a move, which needed V to be there. What if they made a move and nobody was there to compete it or worse, to catch them. They had practiced so hard, trained over and over. Now they would need to fulfil the task without V. RM tried to hide his concern from his men. He needed them to be confident. Confidence, was key in this business. The business of saving the world. It was time to get out of the pot and into the fire. 

"Don't worry," Suga was the first to speak "We got this." J-Hope looked at the world which now welcomed them. It was a hot mess. There were no trees, no animals, just a shiny metal surfaces and buildings everywhere. There were people, if you could call them that, walking around as if they were in some zombie mode. Nobody looked around, nobody was talking, people were just flowing in straight lines, as if they were preprogramed units. "When are we? " he asked "I'm shook, just looking around. All shook up."

"Why is no one talking to each other? " Jimin asked "It looks like no one can even see what is around them. And they don't have mobile phones."

"They do. This is the near future and neared than you think. They are all walking on auto pilot using their internal GPS. Everybody has  a chip implanted. Their mobile phones are now permanently installed in their heads and wrists. It's hot wired to the brain so there are apps which control most of their voluntary muscles. People don't even think about walking anymore. They just think where they want to go and the app makes them walk there." 

"But I never think about walking anyway, I just do it. Why would you want an app to control your body?" Jimin asked

"Exactly!" answered RM, "Things have gone too far. Nobody learns anything anymore. If they want to know something, they use one of the pre-installed search engines. Their every move, every thought is monitored. There's no more currency, there's no more freedom of thought, the more money credits you have the better your app upgrade. And look around, no old people. Only the rich get old here. If your not rich, your health app stops working and you die."

"Health app?" asked Jin. RM nodded, "Yes it started out as an app which monitored your heart rate, picked up any abnormalities. Was supposed to be an asset to healthy living. But like with all of these things. It went too far and when could you ever trust those who control things to have the best interest of the people at heart. It became an ideal way of terminating those who were no longer of use or who posed a threat. Free thinkers, creatives, artists, KPop groups, anybody who encouraged free thought and expression... terminated!"

"Are there no free thinkers left?" Jung-Kook asked. RM nodded, "There are. We're inside a giant dome. On the outside there are a band of rebels who are fighting for humanities freedom."
