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 Sergeant Takes Charge

Samir took Leduc's advice, and left through the side gate that was used for deliveries. There were three guards manning it, armed with long wooden truncheons and pepper spray. They looked scared to Samir and shut the gate behind him so quickly that it hit the rear wheel of his bicycle.

Samir got many dirty looks from the people lined outside the wall surrounding the supermarket compound. It was lucky that he'd received very few goods from Leduc: a full backpack would have encouraged thieves. He got onto his bike, and rode it home as fast as he could. He had a strong premonition something really bad was about to happen.

He was right.

Both Rani and Amrita were already home. They'd never made it to the market. They were assaulted and robbed on the way there. The thieves took Rani's bicycle as well as all of her goods, and beat her when she resisted. Fortunately, no bones had been broken.
