BACKSTORY
The troops are preparing for the mission in which we will take off in about three hours. In the meantime I have been assigned a biographer who will chronicle my adventures and history as a form of inspiration to others of the Rightful. The biographer has mentioned that certain properties may be altered, such as wording to make me sound more articulate, but I do not believe I would have to worry about that.
It would seem reasonable at this point to give some exposition on how our battles began so that future generations may have clarity. It was a little more than half a century ago that the Faded held general control of our world. Each of the Faded, even the most seemingly impoverished of them had a power of fortunence that would eventually benefit them. All the while the Rightful held a lower status in their society.
The fall of the Faded was however to come to prominence, albeit the process was needed to be taken slowly. The Overseers knew that a direct approach would lead to heavy insurrection, so thus they employed the tactic of demoralization. Infiltrating their ranks, the Overseers would slowly break down the spirits of the Faded and endorse symphony for the Rightful. This shift in public opinion would allow the Rightful to grow in size and in a few decades outnumber the Faded.
Altough a few of the Faded had seen through this plan, they were typically quelled by the convinced masses. Come the decade of 2060 there would however be seen a violent uprising. Best laid plans could not always remain in secret and by this time the masses caught on to our strategies. This fact was of little concern however we had the numbers advantage by this point. The Faded were ready for war, alas to their avail our forces would overwhelm them.
The Faded were warn down to small camps of thousands, soon to shrink down to groups of hundreds and then dozens. On a less-frequent basis we would be dealing with these Faded pockets. Then the day came where it felt safe to declare the Faded completely vanquished from this world.
Today that declaration would be deemed invalid. With the sighting of a Faded woman, there stood speculation whether she was with any more of the Faded, and how many of them there would be. No matter the number, this threat must be taken care of lest they regrow in number and slowly gain enough power to take rule again.
Every mission is of the utmost importance. Our war was thought over, but now we must make sure that this will be our final battle.
