Welcome To Zootopia

(Author's Note will be at the end of the chapter)

Prologue

At the peak of the twenty first century the Human race had become so advanced in terms of creating new technology and the discovery of rare Earth elements that we had begun to question if we would truly evolve. Many had realized that technology was evolving much faster than mankind ever could've expected.

Around 2182 some of the brightest minds that Humanity had to offer had tried so hard to find out if it were possible to inflict forced evolution so that Humans could finally become much more than what they already were. However, nobody wanted to test this on other humans so they decided to perform this experimentation on a variety of animals from around the world by merging the stem cells acquired from samples of Human gray matter as well as muscle cells with the brains and limbs of those animals it is possible for these animals to become sentient like an average person.

This marvel of science would have benefited the entire Human race. However, as the twenty first century was about to end and give birth to the twenty second one thing Humanity was best known for had begun to resurface. War. No matter how hard that the major Human governments had tried to keep war suppressed it would keep finding new ways to get out. It always got out. The records of these tests on animals were lost to history so nobody knows if it was actually successful or not. Chances are that whatever test subjects were used had either perished from exposure to high radiation or had mutated and died off eventually.

Halfway into the year of 2201 the destructive nature of man couldn't be held back any longer. Following a massive coup in China that was orchestrated by the North Korean military which had eventually spread into South Korea the U.S. Government had begun to notice after losing contact with the Embassies in those countries that if they were to attack the Air and Naval bases they had in Japan when the new government in China and a new Korea decide to invade that war would be inevitable.

Despite the numerous warnings that the American Government had given, Japan was invaded and conquered by a joint effort between China and Korea and the Embassy and bases that the U.S. had in Japan were also attacked. As a result the U.S. and pockets of Japanese resistance fighters had declared war on the Chinese and its Korean allies.

After four years of exhaustive combat, which included Russia taking advantage to invade the Middle East as well as Europe, a truce was supposedly declared but many had theorized that the truce may have been false. During those years of conflict the American's most powerful icons of the country's political, corporate, scientific, military and financial leaders had formed a council and had already constructed a massive fallout shelter in secret as part of a progam titled as Project Enclave. This underground sanctuary was intended to be the last hope for preserving the American people which is why it was designed to be half the size of a city with the necessary equipment that would be used to expand if it were to get overcrowded as time moved on.

August 15th, 2206. At least one year after the Great War had ended. Alarms had rang across the North American continent signalling to all that a nuclear holocaust was imminent. Russia, China, and Korea wanted to finish what they had started three years prior.

The U.S. had picked only the most physically and mentally dominant to attend Project Enclave to be the last hope for Humanity's survival. At least three hundred families were among the candidates that were drafted into Project Enclave before the bombs had fallen.

Many major cities were destroyed, billions of lives were eradicated by the nuclear detonations across the world and more lives would be lost decades later from the exposure to so much radiation. Even Project Enclave was more or less successful for the last of America's citizens the same could not be said for those living in other countries across the world. The devastation was so massive that foreign cities like Moscow, Beijing, London, Paris, Berlin, and D.C. were left as nothing but craters. The pollution caused by the nuclear holocaust inflicted by humanity was just as bad. Africa, South America, the Middle East, and Australia had eventually perished from the fallout polluting the waters and the atmosphere due to wind currents carrying the atomic particles to these places causing more deaths than what was intended. Those of us living in the sanctuary provided by Project Enclave were quite possibly the last members of the Human race.

Anything regarding what the world had once been was lost as a result of the nuclear devastation, including the results of new generation biological experiments. Although certain records of the old world were preserved some of those records which had information about classified research and development programs were kept hidden from the public eye so nobody could question what the governments of the past were like. Whether they were American, Russian or otherwise many had thought it would be best to move on and start over with a clean slate should we ever return to the surface we had once thrived on.

At least four thousand years had passed and our underground society has flourished into a network of cities throughout a variety of caverns that span across half of the continent in that time span.

Despite most experts saying that the radiation levels had gone down to a nonlethal amount where life can be sustained the Council of Eden, led by a powerful and ruthless Administrator, which governs the underground nation has forbidden any one from going to the surface aside from sending advanced surveillance drones, modeled after what was once known by the long gone U.S. military as Cyphers, to observe and analyze what has become of the topside world. But the last drone deployment was sixty years ago when the Council said that they lost all contact with the UAV expedition. They never said why and no Cyphers were deployed to the surface ever since.

What is the Council trying to protect us from? What secrets about the surface are they keeping? It's time to find answers to the questions about the world we have been away from for so long. I'm going to the surface to get what we need, the truth.

My name is Jacob Colin Williams, and this is my story. My journey.

A/N: Yep, I've written fanfictions about Sonic The Hedgehog and now I'm writing about Zootopia. I'm actually nervous since I haven't really been into Zootopia that much. Let me know what you think of this!
