Joshua Knight stares deep into broken glass...
OF INTRODUCTIONS Once…there was Sunshine… It was the Quantum Age. The dawn of dreaming. A playground for all Code’s Children. Wonders stalked the World. Years past, the spectre of the 5th Great War loomed large. It was inevitable. It was coming. Not through expansion or hate but rather boredom. We had tackled the environment and won. The Gene Library Project now held and could reproduce every species that had ever lived. We had aimed for the stars and got only as far as the Moon. Armstrong City could be seen with the naked eye on a clear night. Sparkling. A technological hurdle at which we fell. Boredom hovered over buttons apocalyptic. And then… An explosion, yet not one of fire.

Joshua Knight is often cited as the father of the Revolution. What is certain is that his company PolyPhazeProductions was instrumental in the birthing of a new age. The introduction of the wonder drug ReGen tackled the ghost of falling fertility. Immortality beckoned. Splicing technology allowed us to wear bodies not our own: A Genetic cloak of dreams. Furthermore, the creation of increasingly wondrous devices allowed us to go where only our shamanic ancestors had gone before. The gateway to the stars lay not in fire belching engines but here‌ Here in the wires. Here in the VEIL. 50 years ago the world was broken. Walls came crashing down. All that remained of the world was this one city and a few hundred miles of wasteland. The Sun and the Stars were gone. Only the Moon, the endless night and the constantly falling dust remained. WELCOME then to the world of the VirulentBlurb. Visions and Nightmares await‌
