The Final Breath

Earth has become a paradise. The global economy is strong, the various governments of the world peacefully cooperate with each other, and there hasn't been any kind of war in the last 75 years. Poverty is virtually non-existent, famine is a thing of the past, and advancements in technology have improved the lives of everyday people.

The only problem is that in order to achieve this, humanity has virtually destroyed the "natural" world. They have spread their cities nearly everywhere, caging and controlling nature so that they may claim the land for themselves. Animals are either pets, livestock, or prisoners in zoos. Plants are either decorative or agricultural, or they are limited to a handful of botanical gardens.

Humanity has figured out how to treat each other right, but they have no sense of how they should treat the other living species on their planet. They need to change for the good of all living beings, but they see no reason to do so.

And so, a group referring to itself only as "the Scientists" have devised a plan. Hidden underground in the last desert on Earth, they develop technology like nothing ever seen before. Their plan is to use their inventions to wage war with the world above. They want to restart humanity from scratch... and that means wiping away every last trace of the people that have come before them.

Will their plan for global genocide work? Can they actually build a better world, or are they doomed to the same destiny as the civilizations they seek to destroy?
