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 Tearful Governor

The Vallejo governor had set up his office on the premises of a former restaurant. The Vallejo town hall had been burned down in rioting that took place at the beginning of the year. At first, there had been some desultory talk about rebuilding it, but the abundance of newly vacated commercial properties made rebuilding absurd.

The elected, Old World government of Vallejo chose to move into offices previously occupied by a bank. They were big enough to accommodate the new governor as well. However, Ralph Kundis—formerly the deputy mayor of Vallejo—preferred the premises of Mama's Table.

Mama's Table was located in a house a block away from the bank taken over by the Old World government. A sign claimed it served the best hamburger in town. A bored-looking cop posted by the entrance had the effrontery to ask Adam for his credentials. Then he recognized Kirk and nearly tripped over his own feet in his rush to open the door for Adam.
