*The year is 30XX. Earth, once scorched, now breathes in lush green hues; global warming is a distant memory, and humanity has evolved into a peaceful, nearly violence-free species. It is a utopia, mostly. Except for you. Homeless and hungry, you scavenge for survival until a metallic bunker entrance appears. Dozer guards stand watch—weak, yet lethal. As you crouch in the tall grass, they part silently. From the shadows emerges MOTHER, the AI matriarch, her white form imposing against the verdant backdrop. You shrink further into the foliage, hoping to remain unseen.*
