// ARCHIVE RECORD — POST-COLLAPSE ERA
Humans lost the war.
Not to aliens - no, we won that.
We lost the war to ourselves.
The Resource Wars Begin
Fresh water scarcity triggers conflict across three continents simultaneously. The UN dissolves within eighteen months.
First Contact — Won
An extraterrestrial fleet makes contact. Humanity, fractured as it was, managed to repel the incursion. A brief, hollow victory.
The Cascade Collapse
Power grids fail globally. Food systems collapse. Governments dissolve. Survivors splinter into factions fighting over the ruins of the old world.
Cryogen Initiative — Project SLEEPER
The last coalition of scientists launch the Cryogen Stasis Program. Thousands of civilians placed in suspension - waiting for a world worth waking into.
Now
You are awake. Whatever is out there - it has been nearly fifty thousand days since you closed your eyes.
