Since the artefact was exposed with the construction of the CN Tower, the government has tried to subdue the population, assure everyone that everything is fine and maintain the integrity of the city centre. Opinions of the government (under the leadership of a democratically elected President Issa Sabmud), have been mostly positive. Specifically, President Sabmud has been popular for his dashing good looks and charisma. He has the look of Jason Momoa and the charisma of Ryan Seacrest. Over time as overpopulation has increased, the government began to dam off sections of Lake Ontario to build more homes and services. In 2022, this dam process exposed the alien artefact - which is the source of the GTA’s exclusion from the deadly pandemic. Sabmud in time for his re-election had a great idea. He decided to break the artefact into small pieces and he gave them to groups to take to new areas. The groups were to inhabit these areas while being protected from the disease. In so, the government tried to impose a socialist policy of paying people to settle north and south of the GTA. This is very similar to the Abraham Lincoln Homestead Act, where people were paid to settle lands out west in America during the Civil War. However, this policy breaks down as class systems engage in an uprising regarding who should possess the pieces of the artefact. Large companies still existing in the current day (McDonalds, Ford, Enron) somehow ended up possessing a significant amount of artefact pieces. This allowed them to take over/sponsor swatches of newly available land and turn them into factories and production facilities for their products. A growing number of people called “conspiracy theorists” believed that President Sabmud and the government knew about the artefact’s location all along but kept this truth hidden to keep the GTA city centre more easily controllable. Some recalled submarines and Men in Black scuba divers in the lake prior. Also, many believed that Sabmud was bought out by these companies or some collusion occurred to grant them the pieces of the artefact. Fighting, wars and corruption over the artefact’s pieces continued into the 2030s. Just like the resource consumption that caused this disaster through Global Warming, the artefacts pieces became depleted as a vicious cycle began anew.

As the ice caps melted, sea levels rose, and the rest of the world became a jungle environment. Despite the fact that there was no Global Warming to worry about, the air quality was excellent, and there was no longer smog, the GTA was lifeless, grey, and overcrowded; it would rain for days and even months at a time, making it difficult for civilization to be happy; people were frequently depressed, and the only hope they had left was to know that the GTA was the only safe place to be in order to live. The GTA is home to both the poor and the wealthy. Because the poor need to work to survive, they work for the wealthy and believe that the government only helps the wealthy. The less fortunate are aware of the segregation between the two classes, but they believe there is no hope for them. Because the wealthy have government support, they can have farms and land north of the GTA, non-wealthy citizens work and cultivate the land, and the poor are barely surviving.

We have several setting locations all over the GTA. Dr. Liam Jeffereys secure lab under the CN Tower as well as his swanky downtown penthouse condo will be a setting in Labiba’s character’s life. Michael’s character, President Issa Sabmud, will be seen in his office at the top of the CN Tower, the dammed off crash site, and in a factory in a manufacturing area. Ms. Humblebee’s character written by Maria will be seen in her rural school class room in zone 3 and in her house on the outskirts of zone 2. Sawyer, a character written by Grant, will be seen all over the GTA. Sawyer will be seen in a rural community/farm, security checkpoints between zones, slums of zone 2, the vibrant futuristic streets of the downtown and in manufacturing areas. Labiba TBD…

'''''The Back Story'''''

Billions of years ago, a highly advanced ancient alien civilization sent out a spacecraft and a team on a scientific experiment mission. The mission was to visit an inhabited planet with no advanced life to see if they could enhance the cognitive function of the brain, with each new generation born gaining more cognitive brain function than the last, in order to advance life on a planet. The ship had on board the experiment, made of two parts. Part A of the experiment was an airborne virus meant to be used as a delivery method of part B. Part B of the experiment was the neurological enhancement meant to be attached to the virus as a way to spread around the world. Together these two parts worked miraculously to do exactly what the alien mission had set out to do, but separated, the virus on its own was extremely deadly. During the landing mission something went wrong, and the ship split apart while entering earth's atmosphere. A section of the ship with the virus crash landed in the remote northern arctic town we now know as Dundas Harbour. Another section of the ship containing part two of the experiment crash lands in the GTA, where eventually the northern shores of Lake Ontario would be formed. Life goes on as we know it, formation of the ice caps cover the ship, the dawn of mankind, the rise and fall of the roman empire and Mongolian empire, the industrial revolution and the first missions to space. Over time extreme pressure and movement of the ice caps start to break apart the ship, including sealed compartments containing the virus, although safely sealed under the ice caps for now. Over time, the ice caps are receding. Eventually in the mid 1970’s while the CN tower was almost wrapped up in its construction, the ship in Dundas Harbour is exposed as the ice caps melt. The virus is airborne and sweeps the globe within two weeks. Human existence and most of the animal kingdom have been erased from earth, except the GTA, where part B of the experiment is keeping it a safe haven unaffected by the virus. The “20-year struggle” ensues where conflicting factions of people band together in a desperate attempt at survival, gathering any resources they can get in order to cling onto life. In the mid 90’s some order was restored because people learned the only way to survive is to work together. Government and laws are formed and the CN Tower is retrofitted to become the central hub, housing the government in the top, and a secure scientific lab below. Trade is the only currency.
