In a world considered to be a Utopia, it would be hard to believe that within it's peaceful existence there are those who wish to cause chaos amongst its people. We are but simply human, destined to cause torment and anguish no matter how peaceful somewhere may be. There are, however, those who protect and hide its citizens from those who wish to disturb this peace. They are called The Enforcers, highly trained units tasked with the objective to find those who wish to disrupt the peace. How do they do this you may ask? With a weapon simply known as the Litigation Assault Weapon or L.A.W. for short. The weapon is programed with identity of every citizen in its city from their name down to where they last ate dinner. They are responsible for tracking down "Glitches" in the system, those who have fallen away from the laws of the land and deemed too dangerous for their society. What do they do with those glitches? No one knows. Many believed they were sent to jail or terminated, more likely both. This bit of information was kept in the dark by the government that resided over its people. Though, some people, mostly hackers and journalists, became curious of this and began to dig into the hidden files. This worried government officials, specifically those who enforced the laws and soon they took action after installing the Shadow Initiative, a policy meant to arrest anyone who tried to access public and private documentation and data in order to incite pandemonium, civil unrest or to incite riots. Those who had already dug too deep were immediately removed from society systematically, labeled as terrorists, some even with monetary rewards over their heads should they be turned in. These glitches were removed left and right for a short time and soon enough the Utopia returned to normal. Years in fact had gone by since this and many believed that they had in fact attempted to cause civil unrest or terroristic activities and with this the government created another policy codenamed "The Veil". This policy would erase any data on the past and replace it with new doctored history of Lens Mira. However, the group they attempted to disband still had people running about, people who had copied those unedited files.
Some had gone off the radar to avoid prison or worse, congregating only in secrecy on random dates or times to avoid suspicion. Soon they formed a traveling group known as Eden's Apple, a group whos soul purpose was to reveal whatever they could on the governments dark history and so they did. July 3rd, they released all information they had uncovered in an operation now known as "The Awakening" with a video titled "The Third Eye". It was broadcasted over advertising screens everywhere in Lens Mira. This shocked the people of the Utopia and the system itself, who quickly began to crack down on the ghost of a group. Citizens of Lens Mira slowly began to wake up and see the government for what it was and joined the group. Those with hacking skills where contacted by Eden's Apple while those who couldn't started their own resistance group and attacked the government head on. First it started small, attacking Enforcers and others who held power in law enforcement and low-end politicians. Eventual as they gained more and more followers, it increased its operations to kidnappings, assassination attempts and car bombings. Pandemonium ensued as the Government and its enforcers attempted to shut down the group, installing a new breed of Enforcers tasked with only two missions, eliminating Eden's Apple and those who followed them. A death squad in a sense.
Now the Utopia has fallen in chaos, with its citizens picking and choosing sides with many also attempting to flee Lens Mira in a hope to find sanctuary. It all comes down to time. Who will be the victor? Will everyone open their eyes to the truth? Or will they allow the veil of ignorant bliss cover their eyes yet again?
The time period this would take place in is the future. Technology has come a long way since the unification of people and thus so has advanced it to the point amputees and those in accidents who have lost limps or organs can have them replaced with metallic augmentations. Even people who wish to have augmentations can get them, though it costs more. Space travel was a thing of the past as it is now more about space colonization. Many have opted to live on the moon or Mars, even so out past pluto thanks to advancements in thrust and rocket technology. Holograms bio-augmentation and the such are available and very much affordable. Many have been able to afford this with the abolishment of the currency system of the past, now relying on credits, worth twice as much as the old dollars and pounds of the past. Work is fairly easy to find as everyone is taught in school technology based classes and are recommended future jobs based on their academic ability and cognitive skills.
