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.

The King of Colonization

The names on list Li Yang and Jake had received from the governor were arranged in alphabetical order. Luckily, the very first name—Aaron Adams—had an address on the very street they were on. It was called Cedar Street, and didn't feature even a single cedar tree growing alongside the road.

The house under the address on Cedar Street was a long, narrow bungalow that resembled a barracks. It didn't face the street, but a neighbouring building. The lot it was on did not have a fence. It showed no signs of agricultural activity, unlike most of the private lots Jake and Li Yang had seen so far.

Jake and Li Yang exchanged one of their total-communication glances. Jake said, for extra emphasis:

"Doesn't look too good."

Li Yang didn't answer. There was nothing to say: Jake was right. At a time when food was precious, someone who couldn't get his shit together well enough to grow a few radishes or carrots wasn't likely to be a good candidate for the New World.
