It's the end of the antique world.

Men of MATA scramble around in their bunkers. People and critters on the streets die.

A fish family just about makes it into some kind of a bunker.

Two fully sentient MetaCity Police Department mercenaries are hanging about the corporate city. One is visibly depressed.

His superior asks: "You okay, junior?"

Junior: "My MATAFLIX subscription price went up again... the hacker hideout we raided last week, destroying all the drives with pirated media? They had shows you can't even watch on MATAFLIX anymore..."

Superior: "Look, kid... I like you, but you're on a fast track to being replaced by a semi-sentient bot cop." — Two fully sentient MetaCity Police Department mercenaries are hanging about the corporate city.

Somewhere in a desert...

Girl and Penguin are eating breakfast.

Penguin: "Morning, slept well?"

Girl: "mhmhmhm"

Penguin: "What's today?"

Girl checks her school schedule. It's Monday, morning class - history.

Girl: "History.

Penguin, unenthusiased: "Sounds exciting." — Somewhere in a desert... Girl and Penguin are eating breakfast. Penguin: "Morning, slept well?" Girl: "mhmhmhm" Penguin: "What's today?"

Classroom. Fish begins the lesson.

Fish: "I wanted to call this class mythology, but Purple said history suggests that some of it might actually be true. Nobody remembers how long ago, but as you know, the world ended. While the inheritors of the ravaged land learned to adapt to their predicament, three brothers, successors of those who brought about the end, set out into the destroyed world to ruin it some more."

LAST REMAINING MATACORPBUNKER B_73; three brothers

"Well, gentlemen, we ate all the women, children and uly. The water purifier is busted and the only person who could fix it was Parkinson."

"We ate her last week."

"We ate her last week."

"Nothing to eat, nothing to drink. So now what?"

"I think it's time to do what our great great great grandparents spoke of - Go outside and restart civilization."

Penguin and Fish are dressed as the MATA brothers.

Penguin: "I have the best ideas."

Fish: "You're going to have to help us play the third brother."

Girl, ecstatic: "School trip!"

Girl, Fish and Penguin stand outside their cave home.

Fish: "... they gathered a bunch of thumbdrives with ancient CORPO tech and went on a journey to find people and machines they could poison."

"... there is no point knowing that we are right if we are left clinging to our mountains of evidence when the last tree is cut down.

What we actually have to do is not wring our hands about the 'missing million' voters. We need to go out and we need to find them, and we need to build trust with them. Not just when it's easy and convenient in election years, but outside of that."

Two MATA_BOTS are on a patrol in the desert. One seems to come across something.

Bot1: "Whatcha got there?"

Bot2: "You're not gonna believe this..."

Bot2 lifts up a QUAKE CD-ROM.

Bot1: "Holy shit!"

Bot2: "We should get the boys together and have a lan party!"

Bot1: "Like in the ancient times!"

From a distance, Girl and FISH are observing the two bots. Girl has a sniper rifle trained at them.

Girl: "Two Mark 4 Mata bots. I have a clear shot, master."

Fish: "Not today you don't."

She does not take the shot. — Two MATA_BOTS are on a patrol in the desert. One seems to come across something. Bot1: "Whatcha got there?" Bot2: "You're not gonna believe this..."

A mint green haired woman lights a cigarette on her balcony.

"my name is not important"

"I work for the largest corporation on this planet."

"And I write code that kills people."

"And they love me for it."

A small child receives a Christmas present - it's a computer device. The child is ecstatic.

"If you ever touched a computer, chances are you are already my victim."

A woman sits in front of her computer and examines her 300 notifications.

"I could quit anytime - But the best part is - I am completely replaceable. " — A mint green haired woman lights a cigarette on her balcony.

"... besides central government providing education for your tamariki and health, local government is basically doing everything else. You turn your tap on in the morning, that's local government. You catch the bus or you drive on the road, that's all local government. You go to the library after school, you take your kids to sports, all of those playgrounds and everything that your tamariki are playing on is local government."
