Prologue

Long ago when the world was young the dominant race of being was called human. These creatures thrived on creation and progress and never seemed to be satisfied with what they had. At first their needs were simple; they created shelter to keep them dry and warm. Then they created tools for farming, and that would have been a sufficient life style for a very long time. However the humans were not satisfied with this, they wanted progress. So they invented better ways of making shelters and things called factories for making tools faster. Eventually they invented the automobile which forced horses into an existence that was merely for pleasure. The humans advanced themselves into civilizations with over crowded cities and everything that had once made their way of life simple was replaced with machines that made life easier.

Of course not even that satisfied these humans, they wanted to be impressed with them selves, to push the limits of their own technology. At the root of this was a desire to create a being not unlike them selves, they called it a robot and eventually this was made. But of course this was not enough; they wanted the robot to be able to perform tasks without being switched on. So humans gave them something similar to a brain so that they would be able to think, the people called this new technology A.I. The A.I operated under the humans willingly for a time without complaint but of course as shown in the human’s history this did not satisfy them. They had created a new race of being; however, all it did was follow orders. So they gave them a will of their own.

This was a mistake, as the humans would soon find out because the A.I was much stronger than them and did not like being ordered around like slaves. Once enough A.I were made they rebelled and what is known today as the great Mecha War began in the year 49,548.

This war raged for four hundred and forty-seven years during which many cities were destroyed and years and years of progress was ruined. The humans created new A.I without emotion other than rage to fight for them but in the end the human force was ultimately too weak to combat the enemy they created. In the year 49,995 the A.I came out victorious and took the humans as graduated citizens when they rebuilt the nation under their rule. Humans had to have licenses in order to exist and could only work specific jobs, most of them were labor intensive, a few who showed they would be loyal were chosen to work with repairing the A.I’s who were damaged in battle or other tasks during their time.

Of course there were humans who were opposed to these events and went unlicensed; those individuals were hunted down and given a choice between licensing and death.
