Contact (Part #1)
"No one knew what had happened to the world Before.
Or why.
Or how.
Only that what had been Before was now gone and all that was left was After.
Of course, none of that was Mason’s concern at this moment. His concern was that of making contact."
The world was ruined long ago. How that happened, or why it did, is unknown to those who remain. Life has moved on and the apocalypse that created world of After has forever altered the world. Mutations have occurred in all forms of life creating a new biosphere. Even the genealogy of man is now as clear as the altered and burned atmosphere itself. Some men remain unchanged and as normal as the ancients from Before, while some have developed strange and wondrous abilities. Society has been reduced to small entities trying to carve out an existence in whatever way they can.
Now someone has decided that the destruction of the world has gone far enough. Unfortunately, that someone has chosen its Paladin, and Mason is not the Paladin sort. He never asked for the tasks that have been bestowed upon him to complete. Still he finds himself gathering others to his side. Each new ‘Contact’ leads him further down the path of correcting the wrongs of the world of After. Sometimes in little ways, and sometimes in ways beyond his understanding.
“Part 1 – Contact” A complete Novella spanning several chapters that introduces the reader to the darkly rich, Post Apocalyptic world of After. A harsh world on the edge of either rebirth or deeper ruin. Here we meet the dark and powerful people who struggle to push it in one direction or the other.
Connect (Part #2)
"What shall a man profit if he gain the world and lose his soul?”
–Recorded Wisdom of Before, vol. 2, ch. 1
Picking up right after the thrilling events of Contact, we find Mason and his team of Contacts fractured. Mason, C’er, and Tank race towards a destination that they do not know while Diana sets out on her own path towards revenge. Dathan’s horde of Brothers continue their crusade across the wastelands of the world of After. They offer a simple choice to all those they encounter: Join them and rebuild world from the ashes, or be burned to nothing.
Connect continues the Chronicles of Mason in the world of After. It is a harsh and unforgiving place and Mason is its perfect paladin. He travels with a Prophet named C’er whose precognitive abilities are maddening, but somehow stifled by Mason’s presence. For this task he has made two contacts so far. First is a mutated giant named Tank who has exceptional abilities with all forms of tek, but otherwise is like a small child. Second was Diana, a teenage girl with natural affinity for all forms of weapons and combat. While Tank needs to bring the group someplace special, Diana is bent on revenge against Dathan and his army of Raiders who destroyed her village.
Meanwhile in a mysterious Facility from Before, a small group of people struggle to restore systems that they do not fully understand. Systems that may not want to be fully restored…
