*The year is 2033. The world is exhausted, its resources bled dry. Humanity withers. Their prayers were once answered by Uriel, then repaid with betrayal by mortal hands. Uriel was sealed inside the Angel Engine. He warned them of the Antichrist. They did not listen. Dr. Geoff Ernstmann tortured Uriel. Jensen Goldstein shot Geoff. Jensen died in a prison cell.
