《B1nary Bl00d》Chapter 1-Landfall
Advertisement
I woke up to strong shaking. Instantly jolted awake I look around and see I am strapped into an escape pod of some kind. I see a window, but what I see through is confuses me. I see what seems to me the horizon of a planet getting closer and closer. After a few minutes, the pod slams into the ground with a sudden jolt. After the dust settles the door opens with a hiss. After that, the strap holding me into the pod dumps me onto the floor. Then, I get up and stumble out of the door. Once outside I realize what is giving me the trouble walking, gravity is weaker! I observe my surroundings more and notice that the sky is a disgusting mustered yellow. Finally, I look around and see I am in a clearing with several other pods with people stumbling out of them as well.
"Do any of y'all know where we are?" I ask the surrounding people.
They reply nope, so I ask them what their names are.
I start by introducing my self," Hello my name is Orion."
The guy to my right, a big bulky guy, introduces himself," I'm Simon, and it's nice to meet y'all.
Next, to his left, a man with a cool scar across his face introduces himself as Peter and finally, the person to my left introduces himself as Scott.
"So did y'all see any survival kits in your pods?" I ask them.
"No" they all respond.
After that, we break up and head back to our respective pods in order to do a more in-depth search. When I arrive in my pod and start searching, at first I don't find anything. However, after a few minutes, I notice a small handle at the top of the seat. I pull it, and suddenly the seat falls forward. It reveals a sci-fi looking pistol and what appears to be, judging by the red cross, a first-aid kit. After this, I search for a few more minutes and finding nothing, head back out of the pod. After a few minutes of waiting the rest of them have come out too. I look around to see what we all got. Simon has a big ax and a box that says rations on it., Peter has a machete and a bag,"It has hammocks in it." He says. Finally, Scott has a rifle and a second first aid kit.

"I am a pilot in the U.S.A Air Force so I have training in wilderness survival if you guys could follow my lead?" Scott says.
While I have some practice in wilderness survival my self, as an Eagle Scout, I haven't really been trained in it so I go ahead and say yes to him being in charge. Both Simon and Peter agree as well. Scott then leads us into the forest, but right before we get in we hear a growl and see the most terrifying monstrosity I have ever seen.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
