*** This is just a little introduction to this story. Just wanna point that out. Enjoi! ***
She walked through the desert mumbling something of an old song she knew.
"Were soldiers in season. We can bring change before we die."
That's what she was. A soldier... A soldier of the truth. The truth about the Authority and their lies. And everything they did to her. She would never forget.
Alright, let's restart this gig.
My name is Sunshine and I am a Human.
I used to be an Agent for the Authority - going under the same name.
I know how this sounds - An Agent?
Yes, an Agent. Or I used to be until I found out what was really going on.
Everything the Authority says... Everything they do...
It's all a lie.
Things are big in 2019. Being post-apocalyptic since 2012, BL/ind (Better Living Industries) has been conveniently "helping everyone" since then. The truth is that BL/ind loves knowing that they're the only one who brought Humanity back...
Or a least part of it.
Most "Humans" are actually cyborgs specifically created to match their counterparts. These doppelgängers, in turn, work for the Authority in some way.
And the real Human counterparts?
They end up in Sector 901 - the Sector where I used to work. Along with the Rebel Terrorists (Humans who opposed the Authority). They all sit in specially designed white-padded cells with clear laser walls - that are as hard as a mountain - blocking the only means into or out of those cells...
They're basically lab rats for the Authority to test all kinds of weird, unknown drugs on...
It's a horrible site, really. Once all the years of desensitization have passed, you really see it as it is.
Another reason for why I use to be an Agent.
I may have not been in a Cell, but I might as well have.
You see, I was a lab rat too. Secretly, they experimented with me. While I was there working in the Sector. While I was out hunting Rebel Terrorists. Even while I was sleeping.
Anytime. Anyplace. You name it.
My best friend and old partner, CherrieCola, was a lab rat too. She escaped before I did though. (Despite the fact, I didn't know till later on down the line.)
Yeah, you can imagine my surprise when I found out one day she was a Droid... Scared the shit out of me.
When I finally put two and two together, that's when I shot off like a bat out of hell.
Helping the world one burned down Authority building at a time - walking further and further away from Battery City. (For I swore I'd never go back. Ever.)
And now... Here I am. Wondering around the West Coast Desert looking for who-knew-what. A small fleck of a Diner and Gas Station in the distance.
I was tired, thirsty, and hungry. Even worse, I was in pain. I guessed that whatever drug they slipped me last was the culprit. I was beginning to fade.
But I knew my mantras...
If the sun still rises, Sunshine's still alive.
That's why I knew I had to keep moving on like the sun.
I've helped many people. And those many people relied on me. I was their inspiration... To breathe. To live. To rise up. To rebel.
But the sun was getting ready set, and so was I...
The only thing left in my mind was the bright red blur in the window of the gas station in front of me.
