Taraxia UnderWorld — The Gates Have Opened

// Transmission 2145

The Story

The year is 2145. The OverWorld is about to be bombed to obliteration by the Super Powers of the World. The United States sent the first set of nukes, straight for China. China fired back immediately, soon followed by Russia, India, England, Korea & Pakistan.

"This is an emergency broadcast for the people of The United States. This is not a test. Find below-ground shelter as quickly as possible. If you have a bunker, get to it now. If you don't, find the nearest school, church, or government building and take shelter in the basement. Brace for impact."

After word broke out of another World War, the masses panicked. Frantically gathering supplies and quickly turning upon violence. Time blurred as families fought to stay together. Debris filled the streets and panic filled the air. The sirens began to whine… Louder & louder & louder, until finally, there was another announcement…

"We have just received word of an incoming missile strike, brace for impact in 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…" BOOM!

Many died on impact and those that survived would be slowly killed off by the high levels of radiation. Above the surface, there was a 1% chance of survival, few would make it. Those that survived in the OverLands would need to mutate and adapt to survive the harsh environment.

The OverLords of the UnderWorld watched in awe as the world they once knew began to crumble in front of their eyes. A discussion ensued between the OverLords:

TARAXIA_OS // ~/underworld/comms/overlords.log

Sypher: "Trinity, do you see what's going on out there? It's a fucking blood bath."
Trinity: "I know, good thing we had the bright idea to build this place before the bombs hit."
Sypher: "No shit, I don't know where we would be. All I know is that nobody would be coming to save us… We need to do something."
Trinity: "Sypher, if we try to save any of them we risk literally everything that we've built down here."
Sypher: "What's a new world with only a handful of people? We need them almost as much as they need us. Think about it, the whole reason we're in this mess is because of the selfish leaders of the OverLands. We have to do better…"
Trinity: "It's not that simple, they won't have the same respect for our world coming from the outside… How can we trust any of them, especially the ones with 4 arms, that shit gives me the creeps!"
Sypher: "Just because they look weird with their mutations and shit doesn't mean they're bad people. They're just like us, imagine if we were out there. Even the ones with mutations won't survive for much longer, it's bad out there and getting worse by the second."
Trinity: "I just don't see this working out Sypher, let's quit trying to fix things and live our lives while we still can."
Sypher: "Sometimes you have to sacrifice what's important for what's MOST important Trinity, and in my eyes, the survival of those people is most important. Who knows how long we can survive down here alone. If you don't want to open the gates, I'm gonna go out there myself!"
Trinity: "Fine… I don't know why you need to make this so hard Sypher. Let me make one thing clear, if we let ANY of them in, we need to put them through some tests first. We need to know that we can trust them."
Sypher: "Fair enough, let's see what they got! I'm ready…"

The Lost World

The Overlands

Once flourishing and filled with light, brought to it's knees by the selfishness of the powers that be. In a world where political leaders were tainted by money, power and temptation, nuclear warfare was never off the table.

"Look at what they're doing to our home," Trinity said as she watched the OverLands through the camera system. "This shit is fucked up," said Sypher as he reached over to turn off the monitor. "I can't sit back and watch this shit go on any longer."

Where does my NFT go after I purchase it?

Your Web3 Wallet will own your NFT. To view the contents of your wallet head over to OpenSea or Rarible and select your Profile.

How can I get involved?

Taraxia has unique voting elements for our holders which allow each and every citizen to have a say in the future of Taraxia.
