Treta

Chapter 2. 0

K. S (kalki samvat) 401:

Almost 4 centuries have passed since the the kalki and his 4 colonels {The horsemen} wiped off the greedy and inhumans from the face of earth often referred to as the last war before the new creation. Although some managed to survive but now very few believe that such a war ever happened. The world that was is finished, atmosphere is full of ions, free radicals and nascent gases; the moon is shattered but its pieces and chunks still shine at night (The last cleansing war tore the moon to pieces); it's raining continuously for 200 years in a row, the earth is so hot though not molten that raindrops evaporate before reaching ground, crops are grown in forcefield houses {thin film of heated up charged bosons} which are dome-like structures with controlled environment.

Humans are now interplanetary species. WELCOME TO THE AGE OF CYBERNETIC SYMBIOSIS where biological entities are living symbiotically with machines. In this age machines have become so efficient that they derive energy from biological entities, the food a bio-form eats not only sustains itself but also provides energy to the symbiotes {THE BIO-MACHINES}.

Cybernetic form has its own benefits, it enables humans to live for 150 years of disease-free life, prevents ageing, repairs any damage from inside, protects from fractures, bruises and makes energy absorption from food more efficient i. e, more time to live and less to eat and sleep. Humans have the option to remain in base bio-human form or become the cybernetic symbiote, but they have to go through painful life-threatening procedure and sometimes which gets fatal(The reason VIKRITS want to revert to bio form). Base humans need protection from diseases, environment and mostly from the VIKRITS: Sub-biomechanical organisms who want to return back to basic human forms, they detach the captured ones from machines, forcibly kidnap, intimidate and keep bio-humans as hostages in large megapolices{made by vikrits} so that they do not opt for becoming half man and half machines.

The vikrits believe it's not natural to live for 150 years, moreover with a success rate of 73% the procedure to convert humans to MACHANO-HUMANS have killed people in millions. Those who niether die nor become cybernetic organism have very painful and miserable life;their flesh rots and is again and again repaired by the whatever machine they have got left inside them. They live for years which is full of rotting and repairing never ending cycle, they live a life of a destitute and have been named VIKRITS living outside the globopolises made for mechanohumans.

When their machine form takes over they live a healthy and normal life but when their bio form takes over their body starts to decay, they rot with lots of flies and maggots; full of stench of their own rotting body, experiencing excruciating pain. So far only one of the vikrits has managed to have the best of both worlds his name is SIDDHA and is the leader of vikrits on earth. He is the one who managed to control the traces of machines inside him by his will power garnered through activating the seven chakras and controls other vikrits.
