The answers are here. This is effectively a 'For The Love Of Chéri' epilogue. Opening sixteen years after the events in Chéri, our narrator writes their memoires of what they discovered happened that night in the Bordello, and more importantly, what happened behind the scenes and incredible revelations they learn as well and who the people in control always were. The narrator fills in the blanks on immediately after the night in the Bordello, then six years later, then finally sixteen years later, until the final entry.

It is a dystopian future, and the human race is on its knees many years after the cataclysm of an impact onto the planet. Large government has fallen and people have been segregated due to their credit score and social standing, with economic, political and racial prejudices being extra arbitory deciding factors on peoples lives. The remainders of the human race now living in giant, self governing GeoDomes states to protect them from the increasingly hostile environment outside in what is now known as the VirginLands, where only mutated or banished humans survive, but this comes at the cost of living under the harsh and murderous rule of the governing state. Slum districts are governed by a hostile entity known as a Chrysalis council, which offer schemes to it's people in which they may purchase more rights, to higher their living status band. In Chrysalis districts, the air pollution is so bad that the most vulnerable people breath a synthetic air substitute. Amid all this, a strange religion has gripped the feverish youth based on strange broadcasts that only some can hear, the origin of which opens a terrible secret. A third group are baying for full racial, male and female status are the synthetics, in particular the elite, sentient synthetics produced by the corrupt BlueCorp company. These are known as the KPZ line, but they are also known by the derogatory term 'BlueBloods' due to their telltale turquoise blood, along with the secret of the mysterious technology that gave them the gift of 'life', the GOD chip (Genuine Operational Design) which drives their Labrynth operating system with its latest update, Reticuli. Amongst all this chaos, a network of underground resistance fighters know as The Proletariat is formed to fight against the arbitrary Chrysalis council. The Neo Eco warriors plan to overthrow the slum districts and loot their rich directors, in order to populate a small landmass, and reinstate utopia with their vision, Project Eden
