The Mod God Squad

Here's what we know about the original God Project: staff members included the brilliant Jenna Angel, the oddly dressed Margot Cuvier, gruff Colonel Terrence E. Beck, and an assortment of medical personnel such as Dr. Heat O'Brien, Argilla the nurse, and our very own Dr. Serph Sheffield. They liked to hang out in a place called the EGG Facility, which housed exactly what you think it might: a giant egg. The project's original purpose was to study the power of God; God, in this case, is also the Sun. How very Ancient Civilization.

The ultra-hip members gathered several "gifted" children who they believed could communicate with God. Apparently a lot of these kids couldn't, which led to their untimely deaths. Oops. Sera, of course, was the exception, thus earning her the label "Cyber Shaman".

After Serph caused the world to go insane (always do background checks, guys!), the Karma Society immediately took action against the Cuvier Syndrome. You may remember the Cuvier Syndrome: the disease that turned any person exposed to the sun into a pillar of stone. Yeah, that Cuvier Syndrome.

The Society counteracted the Cuvier Syndrome in a number of ways, including the production of giant housing domes. Domes, you see, are not only a cyberpunk staple, but also shield the inhabitants from the cruel, rock-inducing sun. No one really wanted to be a slab of granite, so they all lived in the domes and let the Society run the world.

That is how the Karma Society became the only form of government recognized in the new world. Corrupted by the military, devoted to power and science, and into making everybody demons, their new incarnation mirrors that of their destroyer, Dr. Serph Sheffield. The irony is lost on them.

But not on us. Their screw-up makes for hours of gameplay fun! Long live the Brave New World! Backwards | Main page | Windy-Days.net
