Welcome to 2099. ---------------- What, you thought the future was going to be jet packs, world peace, and the cure for cancer? Guess again, pal. When the Architects of the New Flesh took over, they had different ideas -- ideas like conformity, stability, and equality at any price. Sure, there are cool personal fliers: The cops use 'em to keep the public in line. Curing cancer got put on the back burner, 'cause the Buro was more interested in mind control technology. As for world peace, sure, they've got that. Maybe Acapulco had to be burned to the ground, maybe Sri Lanka will never recover from its "pacification," and maybe there's still martial law in the Texas Demilitarized Zone -- but the rest of the world is peaceful as the grave. In the future there's no inequality -- because no one's permitted to excel. There's no unemployment -- because everyone has a mandatory job. There's no freedom -- except the freedom to choose between brands.

Welcome to 2099. ---------------- What, you thought the future was going to be jet packs, world peace, and the cure for cancer? Guess again, pal. When the Architects of the New Flesh took over, they had different ideas -- ideas like conformity, stability, and equality at any price. Sure, there are cool personal fliers: The cops use 'em to keep the public in line. Curing cancer got put on the back burner, 'cause the Buro was more interested in mind control technology. As for world peace, sure, they've got that. Maybe Acapulco had to be burned to the ground, maybe Sri Lanka will never recover from its "pacification," and maybe there's still martial law in the Texas Demilitarized Zone -- but the rest of the world is peaceful as the grave. In the future there's no inequality -- because no one's permitted to excel. There's no unemployment -- because everyone has a mandatory job. There's no freedom -- except the freedom to choose between brands. The Architects are twisted scientists and power-hungry bureaucrats from the future. They combine advanced science with a form of magic called arcanowaves to reach new heights of biotechnology and genetic manipulation. They raid the parallel realities for supernatural creatures to use as raw materials for their Abominations, deadly bioengineered soldiers. Their specialty is manufacturing the shock troops they need to fight their battles. First they experimented with monkeys, adding cybernetic parts until they were deadly fighters, but that backfired when their new soldiers didn't appreciate their keepers and rebelled. Then the Architects discovered how to manipulate the demons and spirits of the parallel realities (Read: Other Cells), so they travel to harvest demonic raw material for their new Abomination soldiers.
