Matropolis,
Brave New World
Matropolis
was inhabited by humans extremely advanced in the sciences, the
arts and possessed a wide range of technological wonders. They
mastered knowledge of outer space and inner space. 'Matros' were
psychic, clairvoyant to a degree, had telekinesis, slightly, and
could 'tuen' or focus mind-power into a physical force. A
population of a hundred million virtual Utopians thrived in technical
luxury upon the large continent as well as on three islands
that were suspended high in the air.
People were divided into three prime
jurisdictions or 'City-States.' The Pax [Money] City-State's
capital anti-gravitated at a height of a quarter mile. The
Mire [Religion] City-State's capital hovered at a height of a half
mile. The Pan [Military] City-State's capital floated at a height
of three quarters of a mile. Each center of authority governed the
lands directly below the islands.
The unknown Kaan anomaly, Black Island, was
the highest land over the surface at an elevation of one mile. The
prehistoric mystery, “world enigma” that had baffled the best
Matro minds for ages, remained stationary over Pax lands.
People were divided into four sexes:
Pax was primarily composed of 'Old World' human beings (aka
'bios'), still referred to as 'men' and 'women.' They had sex and
produced babies the old-fashioned way, how it was done in the
past. Mire lands contained a network of priesthood guilds. Priests
appeared as robed men, but 'under the skin,' they were
transitioned women that scorned technology and machines. The
(female) bearded/bald priests and those associated with Mire
territories were called 'mawos' (singular: mawo). Pan territories
were basically military areas ruled by uniformed soldiers and
police officers that resembled women with long hair. But 'under
the skin,' they were really transitioned men. They were called 'womas'
(singular: woma). Feminine soldiers, and others known as womas,
could impregnate women or mawos. Any mawo could get pregnant and
give birth.
There were four bathrooms.
Millions of people were 'citizens,' but not
clones, robots, cyborgs, other A.I. and aliens.
'Beautiful' people of various castes ruled an
advanced Matropolis. Highest ranked (A) were those womas connected
to the military. Next highest in order (B) were the mawos or
priests. Next ranked citizens (C) were the women of Pax. The last
class with least privileges were the Pax men (D).
Super Cites rose high into the clouds.
Citizens lived and worked within incredibly designed towers, domes
and other futuristic structures. They all flew in fantastic
air-machines, unlike airplanes and 'flying saucers' of other
worlds. Elites owned their own pleasure-crafts, while citizens on
lower levels took public transports. Three inhabited islands were
restricted areas, only for the class that owned them.
Matropolis and the population of Matros
functioned with the precision of a finely-tuned clock.
Mega-technology and knowledge used to optimum efficiency that
benefited every citizen no matter what station in life. Some more
than others. Society was glorious! The future was flawless,
like a perpetual, well-oiled machine. All worked together
logically, systematically, perfectly. Every citizen executed their
programmed function in life. But...
Human society was without compassion. People
were cold, loveless, devoid of true feelings and real warmth. Four
types of people were designed from day one. Most were birthed in
labs as 'test-tube babies.' Bios were the exception. They ate
artificial food that only supported mechanical, artificial lives.
There were no trees, plants, vegetables, fruits, animals, rivers,
real nature or genuine nutrition anymore. There were no marriages,
strong families or love. Love was factored out of the new world.
Matros were
unaware of the distant past and were made to not care about the
future. Society was composed of elitist psychics who had developed
mind-powers. Teuning abilities determined the caste system
where A-citizens literally pushed things and people around. Citizens
were not permitted personal weapons except the womas soldiers.
Only a few occult Matros who'd reached a mental level known as
'Chad Rak Sa' were virtually invincible and could defeat the
mightiest Sardar armies of Pax. A legendary 'underground' of
rebels who'd reached the CRS was rumored to exist among the
telepaths. These powerful and very secret wizard or magician
citizens were the great fear of the Supreme State. The [Machine]
State or High Castle of ruling elites worried of the near future.
They deeply worried about the masked rebels of Pax, their one
opposition fated to defeat them and change everything~
A monster had formed in the very center of
the Matropolis water-world. In the middle crust, a 'hideous beast'
materialized. Its heart pounded. He shouldn't have breathed, but
he did. With amazing strength, he broke through more and more
earth. It swam, in a sense. The man-monster possessed a very hard
protective shell. It nourished him, motivated him, moved him and
the 'Monster' crawled further and further along a path fate
created...
