Prologue
Flashback: opening of Ryan Futuristics
A Crowd has gathered at the presidios central hub of Olympus Heights. A team of scientists is announcing the so-called grand opening of Ryan Futuristics on live Television (a recent invention).
Ryan's personal Announcer, Karl Phillips, is on the scene to address the crowd. The reactions are mixed.
"Today we usher in the birth of an era. " He began. "Today we reshape our community. Today, we prove that communism is no way forward!"
The applause then was electric. But it would be. The rich know nothing of the trauma in the depths. But there is one in attendance to this event who does see the truth.
A figure rushes toward the stage; emerging from the confused crowd- wielding a huge drill. All one can see through the crowd is a gleaming gem. Them, the figure reaches her target. Yes, the figure is a woman. An agent of Lamb?
The figure charges forward, impaling first the Announcer –Philips- then the Cameraman. She then turns to the camera.
"This is a message to Andrew Ryan from all those with sense." The woman began "leave the ruling to those who know how. Tyrant!"
She then drills right through the camera, ending the transmission.
END OF FLASBACK
'I was there at the end of days. I saw hell, and blew it to pieces. Peace was but a memory, but there was no war. Ours was but a slaughter of innocent men by the doomed. 500 leagues beneath the ocean with no one to save us. Andrew called it Rapture. I call it hell. I am Saphiry Ryan, this is my past.
