(Hey guys, it's been awhile. I just beat HZD last weekend and started getting into the fics out there. I'm almost done with chapter one and will most likely post it later today. I hope you all enjoy)
In the year 2066, the world was on its way to destruction. The Faro Plague was killing everything to be converted to biofuel and humanity was on its way to extinction. Very few knew the true purpose of Zero Dawn, the so called super-weapon designed to stop the Plague. I was one of those few.
I enlisted myself to be part of Operation Enduring Victory, the total slaughter of millions to give Zero Dawn and its crew the time they needed to get everything made for the world to be made again hundreds and maybe even thousands of years later. Though my purpose in Enduring Victory was not to be put on the flont lines, but to put all the information of Zero Dawn on my Focus, then when I got the okay on Day Zero, to go to sleep and wake up a thousand years later.
I didn't know Dr. Sobeck personally, but she gave me the task of finding her genetical clone that would be around the age of nineteen that GAIA made so HADES would be stopped from making the Plague happen again. When I was first briefed on this task, I was scared shitless. I had never feared death; I had more than a few run ins with it. The fear came from seeing the world a thousand years later, scarred by the Plague. I was chosen out of a pool of two hundred candidates for this task. I guess my physical build, years of training, my dedication to the Earth, and love of nature spiked Sobeck's interest.
When Day Zero came, I got the transmission that GAIA was able to be booted up completely with all of her functions. Then Sobeck personally gave me a holo visit, telling me that she was going to sacrifice herself to fix the door. Before the message ended, so told me if her clone didn't know where to find her body before we met, that I needed to give her clone the coordinates to Sobeck's home. With that, I fell into a deep slumper.
My name is Ember, and this is my story.
