Prologue

 

2400 A.D.

 

After the 3rd age of globalization, followed by World War IV, United Nations sat down, and determined if the human race is to be sustainable, we need to follow the utopian ideology. As such, procedures were carried out, and people live in communities, and these communities are to exist isolated, around the globe, and a central organization, called the Alpha Group, keeps watch on all of these communities.

 

These communities are to be consised each of 1234 people, and each of them to fill a specific role within the community. People are to be placed in communities based on their cognitive ability. To keep the top (A group) community happy, the top group had access to the most cutting-edge technology, where as the middle community had the technology available maybe 200 years ago, and so forth.

 

As a result, society, at 2400 A.D., in the sense of the word, was effectively eliminated. Of course, over the next hundred years, the top group had developed new technology, they killed all of the animals, they leveled hills, put in climate control, and destroyed people's sense of color, etc. "The Giver" story was coming true...

 

2900 A.D.

 

Mark was born from a birthmother in a community, taken away by the Alpha Group for examination, which revealed him to be of level A-9, one of the highest levels. He is relegated to the A-9 community by the Alpha Group, and the A-9s, made him unable to see color like everyone else. Still, Mark was an imaginative kid, he would draw, sculpt, and act, much to the scorn of the A-9 community.

 

Today, it is his 16th birthday. Mark was a tall, fairly handsome, with brown hair, and a smile that just killed. He was already enrolled in the big A-9 engineering school, imagination was his gimmick, he could imagine anything. Nevertheless, he liked engineering. However, there was something the Alpha Group didn't tell him, was the fact that they had edited his body, and majority of it was cybernetic, his arms, his legs, heart, eyes, etc. They even installed brain implants, but what really happened was he scored a A - 13, the highest possible score on the cognitive test.

 

Of course, due to the overwhelming technology, Mark was always unaware of it, but he would be, today, on his 16th birthday, they malfunctioned. Of course, they all expected him to die, but he lived, however, his cognitive ability had dropped to G-6. As a result, Mark was relegated to the G-6 community, and his memories of A-9 were erased. He seemed to be a regular 16 year old kid, whiz at engineering, and liked the arts.

 

The G-6 community was like a small town during the 2nd age of globalization (~circa 2000), and here is where we begin.
