Gentech :: Beginnings:

In the year 3758, the Gen/Cyber war came to an end on planet Earth. The Cybers had crushed the Gen army's resistance to its domination of the Terran system. What was left of the Gen-enhanced armies fled Earth and all of their surrounding bases in the Extra-solar orbiting Battle- platforms. Having gained a small respite from the 500 year old war, the Gen forces vowed to return to the Terran system and take back Earth from their long hated enemies, the Cybers.

Before the war, hundreds of sequential technological breakthroughs led to the escalation of the Cyber-ware implantation into a certain sector of the world's militaries. To counter this, genetically enhanced military units were produced. When the Final World War broke out, it quickly dissolved into an all out battle between these two factions. The Gen armies quickly built up their numbers with clones and bodily enhancements, whereas the Cybers assimilated as much of the world population as possible. The War quickly spread to the outer colonies of the solar system. The Cybers became heavily fortified within the Terran system, and amassed huge arsenals of weapons, whereas the Gen remained quick and mobile, exploring ever deeper into the Galaxy, and eventually discovering the inventions which lead to their ability to escape after their crushing defeat.

Resigned to having lost the Terran system for the moment, the Gen commanders opted to take another approach. To try to beat the Cybers at their own game, the Gen slowly began to incorporate artificial and technologically enhanced hardware into their bodies. These additions to their Gen-enhancements were a marvel of walking the fine line of a balance between the body and the artificial hardware. The Gen struck this balance on a cell-to-microcircuit level, and were able to incorporate certain amounts of artificial hardware into their Genetically enhanced bodies. This proved to make them the ultimate warriors.

Near the end of the year 3999, the Gen made their counterattack on the Terran system. They came in droves into the system, flying in fleets of orbiting battle platforms, and dropping hundreds of thousands of Gen soldiers onto Earth's surface. As the Gen had changed and adapted over the years of their absence, so had the Cybers. No longer was the high command run by a council of half-human, half-cyber generals. The Cybers had all been melded into one large collective, headed by a Mega-computer centralized on the island of Manhattan. Humanity on Earth had been dead for over 100 years.

Attacking the central core of the Cybers, the Gen were quickly able to knock out all of the primary Cyber central systems from orbit. When the Gen hit the surface, they met heavy resistance. The centralized system that the Gen had imagined existed within the Cybers, was more varied and dispersed then they had projected. Quickly, the Cybers began to crush the Gen forces. Then, to the Gen's surprise, a star-ship fleet attacked. Contrary to the Gen spy's reports, and long-range surveillance, the Cybers had developed deep space military craft that far outweighed the military might of the Gen's now outdated and inferior Battle platforms.

Having both their ground and orbit based forces crushed, what was left of the Gen high circle of commanders decided to use the only trick they had left. They used Timetravel. It was a risky process, but it worked much as the same principle as the Bodyslide technology, which had made the Gen troop movements virtually instantaneous.

One high ranking soldier by the code-name of Cable was picked from the remaining forces. In a last ditch effort, what remained of the orbiting fleet of Gen Battle platforms attacked the Cyber fleet at full strength. This left them completely open to a counterattack, but gave Cable the much needed time to take the only undamaged Battle platform a safe distance from the battle and activate the Timeslide.

As the ship was beginning to phase into its slide, a Cyber battle group broke from the main battle formation, and attacked Cable's ship at long range. The incoming energy blasts phased through the ship, perverting its trajectory and Timesliding coordinates.

Cable awoke from the slide-induced coma to find himself and his Battle platform in orbit around a strange city. The city appeared to be a convergence of many different timelines and worlds, since travelers of all forms and walks of life were seen from orbit wandering its streets.

Finding himself in modern-day Pinnacle, Cable has an agenda to complete to save the Gen forces in the future. He has a gut feeling that the Cybers on the streets of Pinnacle may have a connection to the power of the Cybers of his future. He also knows that he came back to rally support for the armies of the future, and so thus he founded Gentech, recruiting people into his ultra-advanced high-tech Genetic-Technology blend of a guild.
