Story Time!

As mentioned previously there may be a little bit of a plot bobbing around the whole game. Here is just a little taster of what is going on.

*image of a steam train running along it's tracks along some green countryside, possible abandoned towns or ruins in the background*  

"It is 2218 in the reign of Her Royal Highness Victoria VII, Queen of England, Empress of the British Empire and ultimately your patron and benefactor. 

*sound of shots being fired and screams of dying men, silhouettes of men with swords and pistol vs rifle and bayonet*  

It has been three decades since the last prodigious conflict was fought between any of the twelve influential Empires. 

*Show a map with the various Empires*  

A state of peace through necessity has come about, the powers of each being so balanced that if one were to attack then the resultant advantage of the increased resources would trigger the others to enter the fray, and the question of who would emerge victorious would be in the hands of the Gods. 

*back to the steam train, slowly zooming in on a carriage window*

It is your duty to be the eyes and ears of the Her Majesty, you have been trained in many arts unique to G.L.A.I.V.E personnel. 

"Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more, you should never wish to do less." Robert E. Lee 

*Cut to the character generation screen*

*Show a dossier marked Most Private the below text is overlaid* 

 Your mission is to investigate any untoward technology from other Empires that may destroy the delicate stasis, if you uncover any you must find the source and either eradicate or procure it as the situation dictates. 

The world technology exhibition is your primary area of concern, but after the conclusion of the fair you are to stay in the surrounding area for a six month period as it has been rumoured that scientists in the area have been making unusual progress with their experimentations."

So yes, this is still very much a work in progress, the Empires are to be worked out and I like the idea of adding in a few more Victorian quotes.


If you can guess the acronym I would be very impressed.
