WARNING THIS ACCOUNT IS CONSIDERED OUTLAW

Being caught reading this by any one of the military organisations is a guaranteed death sentence.
This is the story they do not want you to read
This is the story which they are trying to hide
Doesn't that make you want to read it more?

Greetings reader. I would first of all like to take this chance to apologise for any inaccuracies in the following account; all mistakes as always are mine. As I have pointed out in previous writings, but for the benefit of new readers, it is often hard to write true historical accounts of happenings which occur some 2 to 3 thousand years before your own birth, even more so when data from that era has already been corrupted and re written to suit various political groups which have followed after them.

This is the account of a pair of black ops agents known as lancers, most cringe at the use of that name, as lancers up until recently were blamed for the fall of the Intergalactic commonwealth, strange considering all information we can gather implies the lancers disbanded some 150 to 200 years before the decline of the commonwealth. In fact the more unbiased historians look into the histories of this group the more you come to realise they in actual fact are quite likely to be the binding force which moved the Alliance from its simple roots as group of planets to the founding structure of the commonwealth. It was their honesty and hard work which allowed untrusting herbivore species to put aside millennia of hatred for carnivores and omnivores, their efforts which allowed the human race to maintain its dominance long enough to put the flesh eating species which ran rampant at the time on a back footer.

The account has been taken from a badly damaged data transceiver found in The Void, the uncharted unstable space in the Censari Nebula. The language has been translated into IG common from earth form of common, a language which is also considered outlaw.

Again I apologise for any mistakes, I have tried to keep as true to the original as I could, there are gaps in the time line which could either be from original author intent or data loss. I hope this story opens your eyes to what we have lost as it did for me.

The Translator.

 

Tekari

"Where to start, I suppose the beginning is a good a place as any. World War III wasn't the explosive Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) fiasco everyone expected it to be. No Nukes involved at all, well at least, not yet, the third world war was a more digital one. It all started with a group of hackers, later named the Cyber terrorists. They came together after mutual distrust of a corrupt government and its increasing support to non tax paying scroungers. After working day after day hard, so you can pay your bills even after the extortionate taxes have been removed, while uneducated slobs sit at home doing little and having their food and bills paid for them. As you can imagine this caused a increase in anger and resentment, for one man the straw that broke the camels back was when he got laid off. Having spent a week trying unsuccessfully find a job that he was qualified to do he bit the bullet and went to sign on.

He was refused. He and his wife instead of renting their property had decided to buy it, took out a mortgage and this was their downfall, the value of the mortgage was classed as savings and while they couldn't touch this money, the job centre refused them unemployment benefit. 'I'm sorry, Sir, but our Quota is full, as a home owner your are not considered high enough a priority.' This is what the newly laid of computer expert repeated to himself as he made his way home. It was in this anger that Modulator was born, it was in this anger that the first steps of the Alliance were taken.

Modulator, that night, created a worm virus that spread out across the net, its purpose to slip undetected into bank systems and transfer excess money away from the bank in a stealthy and undetectable way…"

"Miss Smith, please try not to slander our founders name…."

"Sorry miss….. I'll skip a section miss, err… Modulator became a successful business man, investing in third world countries, helping them build up to the same level as western nations, this money came back to him, meanwhile he began to dabble in politics. His voice called out to the hard working people of his own generation. His suggestions made sense and worked, a party that had its routes within both the British and American political system took form and started to grow. It was at this time that Modulator invested a lot of his growing fortune in a project known as Tek Haven.

The same year that the first members of the political party created from Modulators ideals became members of parliament and congress. The central hub of the city, which would be known as New Atlantis, was launched from the English city of Liverpool to begin its 6 month journey to the center of the Atlantic ocean. Just 3 years later New Atlantis became a thriving metropolis, the most modern city in the world.

It was also in this year that the US politicians began to seriously worry about the growing popularity of the Tekari movement, as is always the case with such politicians the world around, they fell back on to Dirty tactics and slur campaigns to hinder the movement. In hindsight this was a big mistake

 

Most members of the movement, due to its nature either were or had contact with a large number of hackers, with the first round of slur tactics the kid gloves came off. Neither republican nor democrat had the experience of ability to respond effectively when every dirty secret they had was aired.

Americas belief in its political system was shot and the following election, it was a land slide victory on behalf of the Tekari party. The growing political power of this group spread, and shortly after the British people followed suit, though the British politicians, having seen the destructive response to slander and traditional tactics in America, tried for a more low key approach. It was marginally successful, but only so far as to say that Labour, Conservative and the Lib Dems had 40% of the seats in parliament. Which to be fair was a big improvement over the 10% that the was shared between the Democrats and the republicans in congress.

The closeness of the two parties closed the gaps that had come about between the two countries, trade policies, increasing number of joint military actions and the cultural integration between the two nations lead to Americans believing that Britain was the 51st state, and the British considering the Americans, once more back in the folds of the British commonwealth.

A year after a disagreement with the French which ultimately caused the British withdrawal from the European Union, saw the merger of the two great nations, The Free World Alliance was born, referred to as the Alliance it was not long before other nations joined its ranks. Within a year of its founding the Canadians, the Russians, the Japanese, and the Germans has joined the growing super power.

The floating city of New Atlantis had rapidly grown as more and more sections joined the first. New Atlantis found her self in the position as she reached the 2 million population mark of having the most prestigious university in the world resting on the greatest engineering feat to date, an architectural wonder of great beauty and wonder. It was then unsurprising when the first Alliance president Karen Jennifer Lawrence made New Atlantis the capitol of the Alliance.

Having noticed the growing threat to what they saw as their own independence the Arab states bound together for what initially they considered to be mutual protection as the group which later became known as the Eastern Federation. What started as a good endeavour rapidly collapsed into small sub groups vying for domination, the resulting Civil war blew up into our right conflict amongst the federation block countries. The Alliance sensing that intervention may give the Federation states the needed threat to unite them, tried to stay out of the fighting and let them weaken themselves. One group lead by an unknown leader shot up through the ranks slaughtering or converting everyone who stood in their way. His charismatic approach brought his people behind him, within a year he was the undisputed leader of the Federation, but his religious views were extreme, the women of the federation became little more then slaves. The Federation began a war of gorilla tactics, the resulting conflict almost brought the whole world to destruction. Only quick thinking on the president managed to convince the federation that war on earth would be mutually self-destructive. The war however never stopped, it merely changed. Gone were the days of open out and out conflict. The federation simply switched to stealthier and stealthier forms of conflict.

The alliance found themselves unable to prove the federation was causing these problems switched to the only course of action that they saw. They formed the Black Op Divisions and returned the favour. Neither side openly acknowledged the secret war of assassination that was occurring though it was obvious when the occasional high level leader or member found themselves dead without witness or evidence.

The Alliance black ops divisions as well as using more traditional methods began experimenting with Biometrics. A series of cybernetic implants that could improve upon various body functions, some increasing strength, speed, or adding an edge to the person combat potential. For awhile the alliance had an edge, a big edge, unfortunately it was not long before the federation was able to produce this technology as well and the war renewed with anguish.

It was around this time that a spot of engine trouble had forced a small group of an alien species called the Thrax to land in the state of Arizona. A shrewd business man traded nanotechnology for the resources they needed to get off earth.
