As the world continues to fall apart, very few forces continue to try and keep the world together. As the Catastrophe continues to claim more lives, and the deadly virus Stellapithy infects more and more people, very little people have the courage to face the world head on. That is, except for a small group of people determined to change the world, one life at a time. Augustia is a group filled with those who have gathered the courage to face the injustices the world throws at them. While on the outside it seems to stand as a medical facility tasked with healing those in need, Augustia is much more than that. But everything starts somewhere, and Augustia is a relatively new business facilitated by a brilliant young doctor with his significant other and past-colleague. Arkdays is a story that takes inspiration from Arknights and builds it into a full narrative, which is crafted with love and care for the characters and environment it builds. This, however, is the Prologue to the main story of Arkdays, and thus could be considered a one-shot (though make no mistake, the rough transcription for this is around twenty pages). The full Arkdays narrative is no where near completion, but I figured I'd share my starting off point with everyone anyways. That being said, I hope you enjoy the story!

L.O.V.E.

100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)
