By a stroke of luck, a private unveiling for the first ever piece of forcefield technology was held at the same moment that the end came.
The 1,572 survivors of this ragnarok became witness to the eradication of all life, and the eventual cremation of Earth itself.
Striving for the continued survival of humanity, the citizens of Earth carried on.
Over 500 years, the human population began to near 100,000 while their town grew to become a utopia unforseen by those of the old world.
This new haven of society was named PARADISE SEVEN, while the vast and unfeeling remains of the old world were dubbed THE TAULANDS.
THE TAULANDS, being cruel as the end itself, lacked the ability to foster anything more than unintelligent and violent life.
Facilities all across PARADISE SEVEN began to recieve a radio transmission in an old world language once called "Morse code".
Strangely, analysis of the signal determined it to have originated from exactly 7000 miles deep into the TAULANDS.
Stranger yet, the transmission was determined to be aimed specifically at PARADISE SEVEN, being sent nowhere else.
2528 came to be known as the longest year in human history, as the mysterious TAULANDS TRANSMISSION never ceased.
Such a transmission challenged all that the citizens of PARADISE SEVEN thought they knew about life on their planet.
With all attempts for back-and-forth communication ending in failure, PARADISE SEVEN formed an elite team of militarized scouts.
You, member of this new TETRAQUARK ARMADA, have been sent on a mission with one goal in mind; discovery and contact with the advent of the TAULANDS TRANSMISSION.
