A Mecha sci-fi story

Chapter 1 by FrightfulAuto FrightfulAuto

The year is 2704 or more commonly know throughout the galaxy as 543 Cosmic Century. Humanity has spread its wings and taken to the stars. Establishing connections to the rest of the Galaxy and taking its place as a prominent figure in the galaxy.

Before taking their place along the other races among the stars the human race had been locked in a brutal civil war. Normal humans fought against the genetically enhanced beings in a war that devastated the world. It had begun with the Asgard project.

A project that was originally designed to give humanity easier access to electronically advanced systems. It was designed to give an augmented reality experience to the user. You simply needed to open your hand and you’d have a whole screen to browse the web with in the palm of your hand, without having to charge.

No one foresaw the war. Hell, no one knows how the war began. All anyone knows is that all the people who had been apart of the 2nd stage Asgard project suddenly decided to turn deadly violent and began to wage an all out war against their brothers and sisters.

The war began on the year 2034, humanity had narrowly avoided World War 3 up to this point but the war between the enhanced and the normal humans quickly and violently enveloped the world. And it went poorly, for both sides.

All information bases had been corrupted due to a failed internet based attack that the normal humans had launched. Due to the fact that the advances were still human they were able to easily fight off the virus. They began their 10 year long campaign of domination.

As they spread out conquering as they went, instead of purging everyone they gave them an offer, have the new chip installed into them or be left for dead. Many chose the first option although a few stupid souls took the latter.

At the end of the war nearly 54.5 million people had been killed, many were civilians by the normal humans, lest they be turned into advanced beings. Of course not everyone changed. Not everyone was found. Somethings were buried, underneath the war and the destruction it caused. Before the war the project had been shut down, but not everyone was released from the study, some were forgotten.

In the North Pole of the Arctic ice cap. Beneath the layers of ice, a facility with a single entry elevator leading down to the depths of what was once an advanced development facility, holds a secret. A person who never saw the war, who had not been remembered. But from the moment they are found, they will never be forgotten.

The beginning.
