The Brave New World

IMPORTANT: I WILL NOT BE CONTINUING THIS SERIAL. SYNOPSIS It is January 2nd, 2035. In New York, leaders of all the world's nations are assembling to agree on a plan to save the dying planet: Earth. Of course it's a lie, because the planet isn't about to die. People will. As it often happens when something starts with a lie, disaster strikes. A mysterious electromagnetic storm destroys the global power grid, and cuts communications. Many people die, some commiting suicide because of the inability to post on Instagram. But as soon as the storm dies down, millions of mysterious, glowing cubes appear all over the globe. The cubes contain tools that will let humans colonize a new planet: a bigger, richer version of Earth. The newly formed Colonial Council, which answers to the United Nations, has only one goal: to ease the crisis on Earth by transfers of goods and resources from the New World. Millions of new colonizers rush to the New World, united by a common purpose: to turn their dreams into reality. Some dream of getting rich by trading New World goods. Some dream of conquest, and building an empire. Some dream of peace, adoration, and love. Some will succeed, and others will fail. But fortune always favors the brave.

Samir's Progress

It was the middle of the afternoon by the time everyone had gathered back at the settlement, and eaten. Samir was quietly hoping Mitesh would choke on another fish bone, and that this time it would be fatal. It didn't happen.

The moment Samir finished eating, he delivered a lecture on the importance of keeping his colony a secret.

"If you tell everyone about your experiences here, about my colony, about this settlement, you're going to get into plenty of trouble. There are thousands of new people in the New World. Remember your own situation? What are you going to do when ten, twenty, thirty people show up here? What do you think they are going to do?"

"We could invite them to join us," said Jagat, and Samir exploded.

"That's enough!" he shouted. "You seem to think I killed those two men for fun. I am dismissing you from your post. Hunar will be your new leader."

Everyone looked at Hunar, who smirked hideously.
