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 Mystery of Angel Island

"What the hell is this?" snarled Arturo Morales, pointing at the ship that had suddenly appeared from behind the cape at the entrance to the Golden Gate strait.

The captain of the boat they were sailing on attempted a smile, It wasn't a successful attempt.

"It's a ship," he said weakly.

"I can see it's a ship! I'm asking once again: what is this? You told me no one had any ships!"

"I am sure no other colony has managed to build a ship. It must be a government ship."

"Government? What are you talking about?"

"I meant the colonial administration. Everyone calls them the government."

"Turn around. We're going home."

"But you said - "

"Turn around! It doesn't matter what I said earlier. This ship changes everything."

"You'll have to move, senor. The sail - "

"Yes, yes," Morales said irritably. Keeping a hand on the gunwale to steady himself, he followed the captain to the rear of the boat.
