SOLAR STORM
CREATED BY #62321
AFTER DISCOVERING AN ANCIENT CAPSULE IN A HUGE CAVE IN VIETNAM, LILY CADIEUX REALIZED SHE HAD COME ACROSS SOMETHING SPECIAL - AN ANCIENT TIME CAPSULE. KNOWING THAT FURTHER RESEARCH MIGHT ATTRACT UNWANTED ATTENTION FROM RED NEXUS, SHE ENLISTED THE HELP OF WALKER #0 - HER FRIEND. TOGETHER, THEY DECIDED TO FORM A SECRET COMMUNITY OF WALKERS WHOSE PURPOSE WAS TO DISCOVER AND STUDY ANCIENT SECRETS HIDDEN BY THEIR ANCESTORS.
​
FOR YEARS, THE WALKERS WORKED IN SILENCE AND SECRECY TO READ THE MESSAGE CONTAINED IN THE CAPSULE. THE RESEARCH REVEALED A RANGE OF UNUSUAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOST CIVILIZATION, BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY WAS ONE - AN IMPENDING GLOBAL CATASTROPHE. THE OLD ANCESTORS HAD WARNED OF A COSMIC PHENOMENON OF POWERFUL CONSEQUENCES: A GIGANTIC SOLAR STORM THAT WAS TO RAVAGE THE EARTH AND CHANGE OUR SOCIETY ONCE AND FOR ALL. THE PROPHECY SAID THAT THE CATACLYSM WOULD OCCUR IN A FEW YEARS, AND THE EVENT WAS NAMED ELEANOR.
​
THIS DISCOVERY CHANGED THE COURSE OF THE WALKERS' HISTORY. THEIR MISSION BECAME NOT ONLY TO UNCOVER THE PAST, BUT ALSO TO PREPARE HUMANITY FOR THE COMING THREAT.
COUNTDOWN TO CHAOS
WALKERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD, AWARE OF THE IMPENDING CATASTROPHE, ORGANIZED A GLOBAL UNDERGROUND OPERATION. THEIR GOAL WAS TO EQUIP FUTURE SURVIVORS WITH TOOLS AND KNOWLEDGE THAT COULD SAVE HUMANITY FROM EXTINCTION. ACTING IN SECRET, LIKE ANCIENT ANCESTORS, THEY BEGAN TO BURY AROUND THE WORLD WITH HOPE - GLIMPSES OF THE FUTURE SENT FOR THOSE WHO WOULD SURVIVE.
​
THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THIS MISSION, HOWEVER, WAS GREATER: TO CREATE AN URBAN OASIS OF THE FUTURE, KNOWN AS THE WORLD OF WALKER. THIS SAFE HAVEN WAS TO BE A PLACE WHERE HUMANITY'S SURVIVORS COULD REBUILD THEIR LIVES, FREE FROM THE TYRANNY OF RED NEXUS AND THE DANGERS OF THE COMING SOLAR STORM.
JUDGMENT DAY
JUDGMENT DAY IS COMING. THE YEAR IS 2030, AND WITH ONLY 46 MINUTES LEFT BEFORE THE FINAL IMPACT, A GROUP OF WALKERS IN HONG KONG WORK FEVERISHLY ON THE LAST CAPSULES. RACING AGAINST TIME, THEY MANAGE TO COMPLETE THEIR MISSION JUST IN TIME – THE SEED OF HOPE HAS BEEN SOWN.
​
YET, DESPITE THEIR EFFORTS, A DARK ERA LOOMS ON THE HORIZON.
THE WORLD AS THEY KNEW IT IS ON THE BRINK OF COLLAPSE, AND THOUGH HOPE PERSISTS, THE STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL IS FAR FROM OVER. THE WALKERS BRACE THEMSELVES FOR THE CHALLENGES AHEAD, KNOWING THAT THE REAL BATTLE HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN.
Evacuation
SHORTLY BEFORE THE GLOBAL CATASTROPHE, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT - IN A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO CONTAIN THE GROWING CHAOS - SIGNED A SECRET AGREEMENT WITH A PRIVATE CONGLOMERATE KNOWN AS RED NEXUS.
​
ACCORDING TO THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT, RED NEXUS WAS TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE EVACUATION PLAN AND AT ALL COSTS SUPPRESS ANY RIOTS OR DISPLAYS OF DISOBEDIENCE THAT MIGHT BREAK OUT BEFORE THE SO-CALLED “JUDGMENT DAY.” IT IS POSSIBLE THAT PROVISIONS IN THE CONTRACT ALLOWED THE COMPANY TO OBTAIN FULL AUTHORITY TO USE FORCE, WITHOUT LEGAL OR ETHICAL RESTRICTIONS.
​
HOWEVER, RED NEXUS' TRUE INTENTIONS WENT FAR BEYOND PROVIDING SECURITY AND SHELTER. WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE CORPORATION ARGUABLY GAINED ALMOST UNLIMITED POWER, TURNING EVACUATION ZONES INTO AUTHORITARIAN ENCLAVES. IN THE NAME OF “SAVING HUMANITY,” IT IMPOSED TYRANNY, CONTROLLING ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY, RESOURCES AND LIFE AMIDST THE RUINS OF THE WORLD. THE DEAL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A GUARANTEE OF SURVIVAL BECAME THE FOUNDATION OF A NEW ERA OF OPPRESSION.
