Chapter Prologue
The Law of the Upgrade: Section 1, Article 1
In order to prevent a repeat of the death and destruction caused by the Bloodletting and to maintain the peace achieved by the Renewal, it is law that those found Flawed in the eyes of the Redeemers must be subject to a Cleansing that will purge them of their defects. This process of global perfection, called the Upgrade, is the single way for mankind to be preserved.
Resistance to the Redeemers and Cleansings will result in strict punishment. The Redeemers must maintain control of the Remainder and its citizens at all times; those who threaten their superiority will be terminated. These laws must be maintained for the future and safety of the Remainder.
Upon the Upgrade’s completion, we will have reached our ultimate goal; perfection. Mankind’s only chance of survival is to purge the world of what taints it. The Upgrade is our future, our security, and our order.
The Redeemers are the saviors of the world; the Cleansings symbolize their mercy and compassion towards the Flawed. Through Cleansings, the Flawed are given the chance to be pure. It is by the grace and goodness of the Redeemers that they are given this opportunity.
Resist the Redeemers, and the world will fall. Trust them, and we will find our paradise.
This is the Law of the Upgrade.
This is how we find peace.
