Story Line/Plot[/i]
A massive war has ravaged the surface of the Earth, forcing the people who survived underground to start a subterranean society that manages to develop over the centuries. The subterranean society is called “Lamina.” It is ruled by “The Arbiter”, which is a Super Computer AI that dictates nearly everything that goes on in the subterranean world. There are also corporations who vie for dominance and control over Lamina’s land and assets. However, all is not right with The Arbiter, and odd things have been happening to might even go so far as to suggest that its logic system is failing…
Background[/i]
The Arbiter: An omnipresent AI in charge of maintaining all aspects of the subterranean world, Lamina. The Arbiters influence is so pervasive, so tightly interwoven into even the smallest facets of everyday life, that its existence is rarely given a second thought. The lives of all who live in Lamina are collectively tied with The Arbiter.
Mirage: Crest’s main competitor, Mirage is a powerful corporation that rose to power through its field of bioengineering. There experiments gave birth to the “Enhanced,” who are people that have been enhanced to surpass the limits of what a human can do. The company hopes to further strengthen its position by gaining access to The Arbiter and administering its power to benefit Mirage’s agenda. However, this plan has yet to be carried out due to fear of The Arbiters retaliation should they attempt to act and fail.
Crest: Mirage’s corporate rival, Crest leads in the field of weaponry and machine development. Crest is just as eager to expand its interests as Mirage but is reluctant to achieve this end by manipulating The Arbiter, because in Crest’s opinion, the current system is the best anyone can hope for. This difference in perception places Crest and Mirage at odds.
USE: A local computer systems manufacturer. USE tries not to involve itself in the current conflict and continues to remain neutral and focus only on computer research and development.
Union: An underground rebel group whose core members consist of intellectuals opposed to The Arbiter’s uncontested rule of Lamina. Because of this stance, Crest regards Union as Lamina’s most serious threat. Meanwhile, Union remains convinced that something is amiss in Lamina and has gone so far as to claim that The Arbiter is malfunctioning.
Enhanced: The Enhanced are people that have surpassed normal Human capability through drugs given to them before birth. Unfortunately, The Arbiter has deemed the Enhanced a threat to Lamina and ordered the creation of them illegal. Though this decision angered Mirage they feared that The Arbiter might retaliate and thus stopped the production of the drug that creates Enhanced. There are only a few Enhanced left in Lamina now, and with the ban they will soon cease to exist.
