In the midst of the political turmoi and with America once more on track from a civil war that just settled down. UN came with a well as a new, super efficient energy source. Spearheaded by Dr Joseph Gilhelm , a brilliant physicist who years earlier had developed a small test reactor of his own in his native home of New Zealand. The main device was something what he called a “implosion core“ A self contained energy source that constantly fluxed between expanding and detracting, s essentially imploding itself creating massive amounts of energy whenever it exploded outwards. This, combined with the advancements in man and machine integration, led to new age. One that would See America rise from its darkest hours back to a financial powerhouse. The UN in the meanwhile, Established Singularity city on what was once Chicago. 

Chicago, having been the worst hit by the riots, the city looking much like Berlin at the end of world war 2, was in dire straits. The city looked like a warzone, crime was rampart and its people lived in third world country conditions. The UN went in, suggesting rebuilding it as Singularity City. In turn, the UN would finance the reconstruction. This super advanced city, the most advanced in human history was a multi-trillion project, financed by many different countries with interest. Including countries that clearly just funneled money from China. It was a project trying to advance humanity, the largest social experiment in history. Based on studies conducted on the citizens who all were essentially test subjects in their own right, the discoveries and new technology developed on site has been made with neck breaking speed. To help police the massive project, the Un have a special internation police force trained nad situated in Singularity. The SCPD is much like a foreign legion in that it has people from all over the world. To make the allready superactive Melting pot worse, there is dozens of highly competetive Mega cooperations, vying for the patents that may change the future. The city itself is buil around the basis that higher is better. In fact, the entire city has become so massive and so large in height that Its sectioned in levels. The higher up, the less polluted, the less dirty it gets. But also the more controlled it gets. As such. on the lower levels, you are more likely to find the Triads, Mob Thugs and street gangs.

The City of Singularity City is standing on the verge of a new breakthrough. Everyone can feel it, everyone is anticipating it. Exactly what it will consist of nobody knows. But what people do know is that there has been a large amount of gang violence on the lower levels. That Triads are more active then ever and that the Police are out in force. In the midst of this, our characters find themselves for different reasons, stuck in the middle of a Cold War about to go Hot.
