CHAPTER 1: «Rise of the Brainiac Monkeys»

  • THE ORIGINS

 

In a world before the cataclysmic events of the 4th World War, humanity dwelled in a semblance of paradise, albeit one carefully orchestrated by the powers that be. Following the devastation of the 3rd World War, stringent measures were enacted to ensure the survival of the human race and prevent a recurrence of global conflict.

Nuclear disarmament was enforced through rigorous international agreements, with severe penalties imposed on any nation attempting to defy the ban on nuclear weapons. A powerful conglomerate known as «EcoGenesis» emerged as a dominant force, spearheading groundbreaking scientific discoveries and wielding considerable influence over global affairs.

Under the guise of preserving human life and safeguarding against the threat of extinction, EcoGenesis took drastic measures to eradicate potential risks to humanity. A sweeping campaign was launched to eliminate nearly all animal species from the face of the Earth, deemed carriers of a deadly virus that posed a grave danger to human health. This ruthless purge, sanctioned by governments and enforced by EcoGenesis, left behind a world devoid of the rich tapestry of biodiversity that once flourished.

Generations came of age in a world where the sight of living, breathing animals was but a distant memory, relegated to faded images in history books and sterile holographic displays. Zoos, once vibrant sanctuaries of wildlife, became little more than sterile museums, their exhibits reduced to skeletal remains and digital reconstructions.

Yet amid this carefully curated facade of order and control, a clandestine resistance movement lurked in the shadows, its members dedicated to challenging the status quo and restoring the natural balance of the world. Known only as «The Remnants,» these radicals sought to dismantle the oppressive regime of EcoGenesis and reclaim the lost legacy of Earth’s diverse ecosystems.

Driven by a fierce determination to break free from the shackles of artificial order and reconnect with the untamed beauty of the natural world, The Remnants waged a silent war against the forces of corporate tyranny and governmental oppression. Theirs was a struggle for liberation and redemption, a quest to reclaim humanity’s birthright and forge a new destiny amidst the ashes of the old world.

As the war of The Remnants gained momentum, their message of freedom and liberation resonated deeply with disillusioned individuals and marginalized communities across the globe. What began as a covert resistance movement soon burgeoned into a widespread uprising, fueled by a fervent belief in the possibility of a world unshackled from the chains of corporate oppression.

The charismatic leaders of The Remnants, known only by their enigmatic aliases, became revered figures among the disenfranchised masses, their words igniting a spark of hope in the hearts of those who dared to dream of a better future. With each rallying cry and daring act of defiance, The Remnants inspired countless others to join their cause, swelling their ranks with idealistic rebels and freedom fighters from all walks of life.

Meanwhile, within the hallowed halls of EcoGenesis, a different kind of revolution was brewing. Driven by their relentless pursuit of scientific progress and unbridled ambition, the corporate elites of EcoGenesis toiled feverishly to unlock the secrets of human enhancement and transcendence. Their vision was nothing short of divine: to create a new breed of humanity, one imbued with the powers of artificial intelligence, cybernetic augmentation, and genetic mastery—a being that would transcend mortality itself.

This ultimate creation “Homo Novus”, codenamed within Project Ascendant, represented the pinnacle of human achievement, a fusion of flesh and machine, biology and technology, designed to surpass the limitations of ordinary existence and ascend to the status of godhood. As whispers of EcoGenesis’s audacious plan spread throughout the world, the corporation’s influence swelled to unprecedented heights, with fervent devotees hailing them as the architects of a new age of enlightenment.

Amidst the growing fervor surrounding Project Ascendant, EcoGenesis assumed an almost mythical status, revered as the harbinger of humanity’s salvation and worshipped as a divine entity by its loyal followers. Yet, unbeknownst to the adoring masses, the true cost of this quest for transcendence would exact a toll beyond measure, plunging the world into an abyss of darkness and despair from which there might be no return.

The propaganda machine of The Remnants worked tirelessly to sway public opinion in their favor, spreading fear and uncertainty about the impending arrival of Project Ascendant and Homo Novus. People began to fear that those who couldn’t adapt to this new world would be eradicated, and this fear fueled widespread panic and paranoia.

As tensions escalated, authorities cracked down on dissenters with increasing severity. Arrests were made indiscriminately, with no distinctions between different groups or affiliations. Those who dared to speak out against the looming threat of Project Ascendant suddenly found themselves targeted and swiftly disappeared, their fates unknown.

In response to growing unrest, EcoGenesis formed T.E.R.R.A. (Tactical Enforcement and Rapid Response Agency), an elite paramilitary force originally designed to protect Earth’s fragile ecosystems, combat environmental destruction, and provide rapid disaster relief. Dubbed “The Green Guardians,” its operatives were seen as warriors of restoration, donning sleek, lightweight uniforms crafted from sustainable materials, engineered for mobility in hazardous terrain. Their color scheme—muted greens, deep browns, and blacks—allowed them to blend seamlessly into nature, reinforcing their mission of ecological preservation. At the heart of their identity was their emblem: a stylized leaf cradling a globe, symbolizing life, balance, and the interconnectedness of all ecosystems. Equipped with advanced environmental monitoring visors capable of infrared, UV, and thermal scanning, they operated under the guidance of visionary strategists—scientists, environmentalists, and peacekeepers—united in the belief that humanity and nature could coexist.

But as Earth’s collapse accelerated and political tensions escalated, EcoGenesis’ noble mission twisted into something far more sinister. The organization became increasingly authoritarian, shifting from scientific preservation to militarized control, enforcing corporate dominance under the pretext of stability. T.E.R.R.A. evolved into a ruthless enforcer of power, wielding their authority with an iron fist. No longer peacekeepers, they became hunters—tracking down dissidents, crushing resistance, and eliminating threats with brutal efficiency. Their presence became synonymous with fear, a shadow looming over those who dared to oppose EcoGenesis. Some whispered that T.E.R.R.A.’s operatives were not just elite soldiers but remnants of the Third World War’s most ruthless generals, men forged in fire and destruction, now repurposed to uphold the status quo at any cost. Their methods grew darker—rebels were not just captured but disappeared, rumored to be subjected to horrific experiments in the name of progress.

Amidst this descent into tyranny, one voice of dissent emerged—Dr. Victor Hugo Evolvo. A brilliant scientist and once a rising star within EcoGenesis, he had dedicated his life to advancing sustainable technology and ecological restoration. But as he witnessed the organization stray further from its scientific roots, prioritizing politics, control, and warfare over true progress, he grew increasingly disillusioned. He saw T.E.R.R.A. not as protectors but as instruments of oppression, and EcoGenesis as a machine no longer interested in saving the world—only ruling it. It was this realization, this moment of awakening, that set him on a path of defiance, one that would forever alter the fate of humanity and the world beyond.

Dr. Evolvo was a proclaimed hero right after the 3rd World War, having discovered a revolutionary method to sustain humanity without the need for animals or plants. He developed a way to feed people with non-organic material, eliminating the need for traditional food sources. His breakthrough led to the creation of «Nutripills,» compact, nutrient-dense pills that could be customized and printed at home with any flavor. These pills were based on one-minute exams conducted by household robots, which analyzed the dietary needs of individuals and tailored the Nutripills accordingly.

Soon enough, Dr. Evolvo was imprisoned due to his secret agenda discovered by other scientists. He was trying to find a different alternative to the social mayhem by creating a new form of AI called Genesis Mind. Genesis Mind was designed to take over political, military, and other societal management roles. Dr. Evolvo’s only intentions were to keep the human race safe and free them from the hunger for destruction driven by their own egos.

Despite his noble intentions, Dr. Evolvo was sentenced unfairly to 100 years of imprisonment in a bunker deep beneath the ice. Before his imprisonment, Dr. Evolvo managed to implant the chip of his AI, Genesis Mind, into his own brain. However, he did not yet have the means or technology to activate it. Dr. Evolvo was frozen slightly before the beginning of the 4th World War on August 17, 2055.

The once-celebrated scientist found himself betrayed by those he thought were his allies. His fellow scientists, perhaps motivated by fear or jealousy, exposed his clandestine project, leading to his swift arrest. The court proceedings were a farce, with the outcome predetermined by the powerful forces within EcoGenesis who saw Genesis Mind as a threat to their control.

Dr. Evolvo’s imprisonment was brutal. He was stripped of his dignity, his life’s work discredited, and his reputation tarnished. The cold, unforgiving environment of the subterranean bunker was a stark contrast to the vibrant world of scientific exploration he once thrived in. Yet, even in the face of such adversity, Dr. Evolvo’s resolve remained unbroken.

Before being taken away, Dr. Evolvo made one last desperate move. Using the advanced medical equipment in his lab, he implanted the Genesis Mind chip into his own brain. This chip contained the potential to revolutionize human society, but without the necessary activation technology, it remained dormant. Dr. Evolvo hoped that, one day, someone would discover his work and realize his vision for a better future.

As he was frozen in stasis, the world above continued to descend into chaos. The 4th World War loomed on the horizon, a devastating conflict driven by desperation and the struggle for survival. Dr. Evolvo’s incarceration marked the end of an era of hope and the beginning of a dark chapter in human history. Yet, within the icy depths of his prison, the seeds of a new future lay waiting, dormant but not forgotten, ready to be awakened when the time was right.

The fire that ignited the 4th World War was inevitable. The interests of controlling the new world of the EcoGenesis group, combined with the overwhelming military power of T.E.R.R.A, clashed violently with the deluded and radical ideas of the rebel group, The Remnants. This conflict dragged on for years, transforming into a war of control, violence, and oppression from all sides.

The war brought the world to the brink of destruction. The environmental devastation was unprecedented, and the once-thriving animal species had disappeared entirely. Humanity now faced the terrifying prospect of extinction for the first time ever. The powers that be, driven by their insatiable egos and blind ambition, were poised to pay the ultimate price for their hubris.

In this new world order, there was no humanity left in any of the factions. The lines between right and wrong had blurred beyond recognition. Everyone was culpable, and the belief in a shared future had become a cruel joke. We had acted worse than a group of monkeys, driven by primal instincts of survival and dominance.

In the midst of this chaos and despair, the need for a new form of intelligence became glaringly obvious. It was clear that humanity, in its current form, was incapable of achieving the harmony and progress needed for survival. We needed something beyond ourselves, a force of reason and wisdom untainted by human flaws. We needed «The Brainiac Monkeys.»

As the remnants of human civilization teetered on the brink, the seeds of a new beginning lay dormant, waiting to be awakened. The Brainiac Monkeys, born from the vision of Dr. Victor Hugo Evolvo, represented a new hope. They were the embodiment of a future where intelligence, compassion, and innovation could coexist, a stark contrast to the destructive path humanity had taken.

In this dark hour, the emergence of The Brainiac Monkeys symbolized a chance for redemption and the possibility of a new dawn. They were not just the product of scientific experimentation but a beacon of hope for a world desperately in need of salvation. The journey to their rise was just beginning, and their story would be one of overcoming the shadows of the past to forge a brighter, more harmonious future.
