Description
A crucial point of global agreement that helped end the second cold war was the establishment of a world government- a di-hegemony led co-operatively by a representative from both of the world’s super powers. The year 2089 was heralded as the beginning of the golden age of man. All of man under one government, one house, one banner, the end of all war. The di-hegemony was lead by two men, both geniuses in their field: Hegemon Wong, all-knowing in social, urban, and biological issues, and Hegemon Brandon, master of the sciences physical, chemical, and technological. Hegemon Brandon quickly founded “Aperture Science”, gathering the world’s brightest minds to share theories, discover new scientific laws and create magnificent new technologies. For twenty years humanity flourished under the hegemons, humanity grew unobstructed, humanity consumed, and, as always, humanity fell into danger. In the year 2109 the oil wells ran dry. Humanity would be out of their main fuel, left to rely only on minor energy sources, like the sun and the wind, which they could still not harness effectively. Millions would die in the fight for power. Wong saw this and searched for a solution. He conferred with Brandon about the use of the Aperture Science’s new “portal gun” to create an infinite loops cycle, creating a clean, powerful, infinitely renewable source of energy. Hegemon Brandon refused, saying that it would run terrible risks of either destroying the laws of physics or pulling energy from an unknown source, possibly destabilizing the planet or even the universe. After several weeks of debate, Brandon, fearing Wong would go through with his plan, fled to Aperture Science’s emergency bunker with his followers and the di-hegemon special forces platoon. Wong saw that he had no choice. He immediately appointed the first minister as full Hegemon, then disappeared, saying only that he was leaving to “prepare”. Many rumors spread, guessing at where he had gone. Some told of him training with the monks, others with the Samurai, and others of training on the surface of Mars. After a year people gave up hope, saying that he’d abandoned them. Then, two years after he had disappeared, posters started to appear slowly, then began appearing everywhere, all of them containing the same slogan: “Support Wong. Support Humanity.” Once again Humanity regained its hope. Wong would march. Wong would save them all.
