Prologue
The year is A.D. 3000. Our technology during this time is highly advanced. Self-sufficiency is rare; people have no worries about anything because they can rely on technology. Computers and robots run all household items, and doctors are no longer needed for annual check-ups. Robots can do everything without malfunctioning, yet humans are still needed, of course.
Maintaining world peace is no longer an issue; instead violence incinerates the solar system rather than just a small planet. What keep us from anarchy though, are the wise representatives of each planet. Government is run by something resembling a Democracy… (But not exactly) The representatives would come together, once a month on Earth's Moon, to form the Concert of the Milky Way, discussing political issues. However, holding office in some part of the government, whether it is something as honorable as being President or something as subordinate as being an officer of the ECC Department (What is that, you ask? Even Computer does not know.), is not the only job people do. People still work, but they all take on different duties, now. For examples: hover vehicle dealers, law enforcement, scientists, writers and etc. (So, you see, the world—I mean universe—is not perfect)
We have also gone beyond the world known as Earth, to other planets in the solar system. Public transportation is based on spaceships, and hover cabs (which are, obviously run by computers). Purchasing a vehicle of your own would mean driving for yourself unless you are a rich figure who can afford a self-driving vessel of your own.
Here, in this time, people will say, 'I want to be old.' Old age is a good thing in the year 3000. You are considered a veteran if you exceed the age of 1000 (talk about old). Humans can obtain immortality in one single tablet purchased in any drugstore (It prevents ONLY dying of old age, -so don't go jumping in front of a hover car going 90 mph.).
Babies are born every day on every planet in two ways. One way is the traditional way, which is through man and woman contact (you know what I mean). In this process of human reproduction a doctor is needed. The ending result of this process is what we call a Bio-Baby. The second way is much more efficient and much more painless; and this is through artificial science. Yes, these babies are perfect without the discomforts of child labor. All you need is to extract a sperm from a man and an egg from a woman. Then, the sperm and egg are placed in a test tube for nine months. The final product of this procedure is called an Arti-Baby. (Which would you prefer being? A Bio-Baby or the genetically flawless Arti-baby.)
Welcome to planet Earth. (Month: September, Day: 10, Year: 3000, Universal time-23:06:17)

What a strange beginning eh? Yeah I thought it strange to start a story like this, but its strangeness makes it excitingly unique, doesn't it? The story is supposed to be more sappy later. Well, keep reading and reviewing if you want another chapter. (.)
Arigatou, minna-san!
