- Issue III
- Act III
- -Brianna and Sharon discover their origins as well as their intimate connection
- The beginning is already written so I must start from there. How does it end. that should guide me.
- The ending should setup the future confrontation of the wastes vs the mega cities. The wasting disease (literal atrophy) that decimated the the population and leaving many that recovered infertile (metaphorical atrophy) has a resurgence and threatens human life on earth. Briana, Sandra, Cassandra, ( should all the names end in a? Is Plana a part of this as well?)
- Was the disease engineered?
- The central theme is family, what it means to be related as blood relatives, as loved ones, and as a society. Can a society be "family"
- How long do I want this introduction? Brianna's back story should be revealed as the story goes along. As with all of them. Cassandra is not an "original" but the daughter of one, whom is the leader of a fertility cult. One that Brianna's adoptive family belonged to.
- Right now I'm spit balling stream of conscious style.
- Order of events:
- Issue 1:
- -Brianna introduced as she raids an outlaw outpost
- -Confronts big axe tony
- -defeats him questions him for the whereabouts of a certain individual
- -Sandra, whom she suspects is behind the tragedy at her home
- -He knows nothing, Brianna drags him back to town for the bounty
- -The town celebrates, Tony's corpses hangs in the square as children play around it.
- -Brianna falls into revelry in the middle of a conversation
- -Thinks of her family, remembers the tragedy that swallowed up her home, set her on the path
- -Brianna was found by here adoptive family in the ruins of a medical facility
- -She was one of the several fetuses engineered with immunity in an attempt to repopulate
- -Unrest and systemic failure forced the scientist to abandon the incubators, left running in hopes of returning
- -The scientist show up again? Where are they now? After two hundred years probably not, they would have definitely made contingencies though.
- -Plana is decedent of one of the scientists, plans to revive the project, create super soldiers to subjugate the other megacities, weaponize the wasting disease and clear out the wastes to pave the way to return to civilization.
- -She sees the wastes and the petty infighting of the megacities there as obstacles to progress, to the stories she was raised on of a better world. Messiah complex? To force union under her rule, Technocrat?

- -cloud of dust kicks up in the distance
- -The convoy approaches several armored vehicle flank a trailer
- -She draws her bow and fires into another empty building
- -Series of explosions, the building buckles and collapses in the convoys path blocking their route.
- -It halts, immediately several Autonomous Armored Mech (AAMs) form a perimeter, scanning.
- -My thoughts are that for larger mechs, it was decided in this world that making room for a human pilot in these would be an unnecessary design problem, artificial general intelligence on board was deemed sufficient. Also their for the most part digitigrade, or four legged, but bipedal models do exist.
- -Smaller, piloted exo suits also exist, more for enhancing individual soldiers abilities.
- -Time stands still, Sandra's attack commences.
- -They're routed, Sandra sends up a signal and a lone flying craft (anti gravity?, if so than extremely rare and not used on the front lines)
- - Sandra opens the trailer revealing a pod not unlike her own (also an engineered human), specimen may or may not be dead (or another character) haven't decided
- -what do they dream of, someone whose never seen color, whose never heard their name?
- -Flashback similar to Brianna's, excavated by Plana's team, confirmed the stories she was raised on
- -Present day, Sandra reports back to Plana, reveal that Sandra is a part of a team of saboteurs under Plana's direct command
- -Deployed on new mission
- -Meets Brianna, present time, no witnesses, End
- Issue 3: Big fight scene
