The clock is ticking. Efficiency is Success. Success is the Future.
When semi-intelligent androids replace most essential workers in the field and remove the need for all of humanity to worry about basic survival, The Tusk Time Model becomes the only way mankind can find purpose in their lives. The Tusk Time Model is very straightforward: if you can prove that you are a productive and valuable member of society within the first 30 years of your life, you are allowed to be a part of The Future, the only group of people allowed to have children. There is only one problem - you have to survive the Present and with the Past Police watching your every step, living past the age of 30 proves to be a difficult task that fewer than 20% of the population can achieve.
Resident KW 0977, also known as Kaia Wang, feels trapped by the pressures of the Future, the temptations of the Present, and the fear of the Past. How much should she sacrifice so that her life is ultimately worth the struggle? Or will her obsession with time be the demise of her own happiness?

Earth, our home. But... something is wrong. As the nature of reality makes itself known, watch earth react, and change, with fear, hate, progress, and love. To the grand events the universe has in store for earth. As the world changes, as the universe revivals aliens exist, but not the world ending kind.

Akropolis
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.Complete
