2020's,
The world is ravaged by a series of worsening natural disasters. Earthquakes, hurricanes, and droughts devastated countries around the globe, pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. Coastal cities were wiped out by tidal waves and floods, while surging rivers destroyed bridges and dams. Refugees flooded near-by cities, creating an environment of chaos and crime.
2030's
The governments of North America enacted martial law, and combined police and military forces into a single “National Defense Force”. Meanwhile, those of the upper class have seemingly disappeared. They retreated into the shining towers of the cities, the only reminder of the former glory of the human race. There they remained for the next 25 years, protected by their soldiers, the NDF.
2040's
Once the environmental turmoil began to subside, people began to rebuild. The slums surrounding major cities turned into shanty towns, with small communities coming together in abandoned office buildings and warehouses. Food is scarce, as supermarkets had been raided decades ago, and most of the farmland had been washed away or become arid.
2050's
It was no surprise that when the elites sent their messengers to recruit laborers, everyone jumped at the chance. Those who volunteered where taken away, and they would compete against each other to earn a position in the work force. Those who performed best would be taken away, and never seen again. People began to wonder about those who had been taken, and rumors quickly spread. Who were these mysterious elitists, and what were they doing with these volunteers?
