"We used to be prosperous. Huge cities, endless supplies, the poor count reduced to 0. No disease, no troubles. Just happiness. Advancements were being made all the time, and Humanity was expanding into the stars. FTL drives, Dyson Spheres, Huge starcruisers capable of carrying millions. Of course it couldn't last. We all knew that. But we kept on living our charmed extended lives without even suspecting how. Well, the unasked question was answered pretty quick. A conspiracy was seen by some citizens on Outreach Colony. They preached radical ideas, claiming that the government was using the people to it's own ends. And it was. No-one had taken note before that the Government automatically registered any new inventions and rationed supplies. There was plenty for all, or so it seemed. No-one had realized that the UTC or United Terran Colonies, had satellites watching their every move. No-one suspected that the UTC had planted micro-tracking chips in their arms when they were born. No-one knew, that they were slaves to the higher-ups, and that people were kidnapped every day and put into cryo-sleep pods for later use. The information spread from colony to colony, and enraged citizens formed a new government. The Outreach Resistance it was called. Together they used their mass technological knowledge and built a fleet and weapons. When word reached the UTC, they immediately sent one of their concealed insurgency suppression fleets. The Resistance was ready. They decimated the enemy ships and went straight for Terra. That's when the UTC decided to unleash it's weapon. An army of cybernetically modified Humans, programmed to preserve Peace and Order within the UTC. They were run by an AI, codename Reclaimer. The Cyborgs eliminated most of the resistance. But they didn't stop there. They saw disorder and chaos all around them. Humanity itself, in its natural form, was Disorder. They saw and they fixed what they saw to be a problem. They made the UTC...like them. It was horrible. They only did what they were programmed to do. Reclaimer led them. World after world, Humanity was...morphed, changed. After ten years, only a few of us remained. They would have us stagnate and never change. After all, change causes disorder. We would be an army of dusty metal, standing at endless attention. Humanity would be gone, replaced by a horde of mindless drones. They fight for peace. We fight for change."
