For all of you who might be curious about what will be happening in Rain Saga, here is a sneak peek of what to expect come September first, 2014.
Prologue
Prologue
Twenty years ago the world changed
forever. Almost overnight, the serene, blue sphere that was once our Earth was
reduced to a dark green smudge shrouded in a blanket of torrential storms.
The blame
for the catastrophe quickly fell on terrorists who had coordinated a
cyber-attack on Cathedral: the Unitech cooperation’s primary hydrothermal
reactor.
Cathedral
was a marvel of technological engineering. Designed by Jack Anderson, the
company’s founder, it was the first in a series of generators capable of powering
an entire continent simply by harnessing the energy of super-heated, super-pressurized
groundwater. Of course, as with so many other marvels of modern engineering, no
one expected the devastating effect it could have if something were to go
wrong.
The
terrorists had planned to overload the reactor via an extremely aggressive
computer virus. But Cathedral had been designed with thousands of fail-safe
protocols, making it virtually impervious to any form of computer-born attack. Bishop,
the reactor’s governing artificial intelligence unit, compensated for the
terrorists’ meddling by turning the reactor’s main generator to full power. So
instead of destroying itself as they’d hoped, Cathedral created a massive super
storm that covered the entire planet.
Millions died
in the flash floods. Millions more succumbed to disease.
For twenty
years, mankind has battled for high ground—against the swamp and against themselves
…
The
year is 2119.
