The Scarlett Machine

Review: 8/10 from 6 ratings

Humanity's Resources have been used up; off planet migration was the second option, but due to Space debris left by Satellites and wrecked rocket flights, There was little chance a rocket could safely pioneer its way across the atmosphere.

Heat and weather climates shifted as the temperature across the globe had skyrocketed. Winters were breezy, while summers boiling; A multitude of plant and animal species, especially those who thrived in colder climates, were eradicated over time. Humanity was panicked, as they began last minute changes of protocols in every country: the lack of compliance and the inevitability of the situation made it fruitless.

Aquatic life and mammals had chosen to go into hiding, to the depths of the oceans or borrows within the land. Whatever was left on land hid in the darkest and coldest underground tunnels it could find, while the fish life that didn't leave had started to boil. The resources available diminished as the world had slowly settled itself into a pragmatic starvation. Food was split to a fragment of what was needed to keep people alive, and many did not meet the quota.

War had almost broken out over food supplies, some had tried to hoard from the populace, hidden in their rich castles or islands, they were hidden from public eye. Others attempted to wage wars and slaughter out of delusions of grandeur.

Wars were an opportunity for the rich before, but when the world is starving, little would stop the hunger crazed people from finding them, their walls of twine, and placing their heads on a spike.

When Politics failed, societies and countries, no matter how great their military power was, could only watch as their social structure devoured itself.
Internet crashed somewhere between, leaving communications solely to the governments that still existed.

Thermo Nuclear measures were taken. Some in attempts to cool down the atmosphere, settling the weather at only a reasonably hot environment, where they could at least, rarely, see the snow. Others opted for energy production, as they could no longer feed the 3.2 billion saved from the famine. Many, many opted for war, petty, tiresome war. Pakistan was almost erased, as Hungary was decimated by biological warfare, a plague. It was only when the remaining top countries intervened with greater threats, that smaller ones shut up.

Ultimately, the effort, whether wanted or not, had to be a group effort; No matter who, everyone was pushed into assisting the fight against the climate.

It mattered naught the efforts they took, humanity was a parasite to the world, one that would try to drive their planet to death before dying as they deserved; They wouldn't simply go extinct and allow the planet to recover.

One man, like many individuals who took their own course of actions, decided he needed to deal humanity himself.

He built a photonic computer, one that could restore this world to what it once was...

He was wrong. Very, very, wrong.

It's purpose was to restore the world; even if it meant it had to destroy the world, even if it had to eradicate humanity.

A new era would be made in it's velvet colors, in scarlet touches, a world without futilities would be born. All would be painted in blood as it systematically and violently, restored life on earth; It would use even the most horrific mean if it could.

It was known by one name alone across the nations, as the Red Machine of Damnation, Olivia.
