Advancing at rates startling even the wildest optimist, technology and science prove their worth as sickness and death are all but memories. As Earth struggles to sustain life, galaxies light years away are charted, planets are surveyed and laid claim by various organizations. Slowly, the human infestation crawls deeper into space... until the Devolution. Putting a halt to all exploration, a sudden violent and terminal phenomenon strikes, causing devastation within societies around the world. The little research done left no trail- it was not a disease, a virus, or any known ailment.

The Story
Meant to explore a multitude of science fiction genres, Reclamation of Time is about a group of survivors of an apocalypse launched into time and space by a phenomenon known as the Devolution.
Apocalypse, history, time travel, space, dystopia, religious satire- you name it. I purposely intended for the storyline to remain as opened-ended as possible to allow the most influence from the participants (that's you). This story will definitely be collaborative, and the OOC thread will be equally as important as the IC thread.
Chapter One will focus on post-apocalyptic survival and mystery. Unlike zombie survival, some Devolutions will be docile, others violent, some will be insane, and yet others may still have their minds intact. You, of course, are seemingly unaffected by this phenomenon.
Setting
The story will begin in Orminster, England on January 16, 2106. This town is famed for the Saint Joseph's Church, and is an important religious site. Otherwise, Orminster is considered a "pit stop" town between the major cities, bringing a lot of people together from various backgrounds.
On this day, the sky looks ominously thick with clouds. Another blizzard seems to be ready to hit at any given moment, and supplies are scarce. By now you reckon the stores and long been pillaged, and the hospital full of the Devolved. Signs of "intact" life are few and far. Saint Joseph's Church might be a good option for finding shelter and possible survivors.

The Devolved sit in the streets, at various stages of insanity. Those who devolved physically didn't last long... they were usually picked off by the Psychos or the Whisperers. It's been three years since the police stopped fighting them. Ten years since the news stations shut down. I'm beginning to get desperate. The gas stopped working in our apartment and winter is at it's fullest. I prayed to God today for the first time since I was a child, clutching my rosary as if it meant something to me as I watched the bibles burn along with the rest of my collection. My love is slipping away every day, and I couldn't stand seeing her shiver so. She began the delusional, incessant rambles akin to the Whisperers, and she won't eat. I swore I saw the ghosts of the construction workers who built this apartment not 20 years past... unbuilding... my kitchen... perhaps The Devolution had found me at last.
