The Progenies of Chaos

There was no more fuel to power electricity and weaponry. This generation dreaded the outcome of the previous nuclear wars. But a very few minorities had other primitive sources which were geothermal, water, wind, and solar. But these were not enough for many who had assimilated the Martian Lifestyle. Individualized flight and floating cities required sumptuous tokamaks like never before. But Water Dragon fuel was forbidden. Tatum Infiniti was forbidden. But one leader's obsession urged to seek after these to rule the planet.

Free energy was suppressed for many business and political reasons. Folks who dwelt deep in the mountains utilized free energy. Their freedom being off the grid separated them from thriving metropolises. But they did not last long. They became victims of bioengineered beasts and insects that had gotten out of control, not counting the peril of robbers that awaited the vagabonds at the outskirts. Outside the perimeter of human civilization, travelers seeking new frontiers no longer ventured into the vast surrounding territories. Unimaginable danger lurked in the man-made caverns deep in these sunken cities. Above all, fear hovered above the rooftops and everyone's mind concerning a swarm of dragons that once flooded the planet's streets with blood. And many believed that they were hiding somewhere in the remote mountains and in the subterranean lairs.

This was the height of bioengineering or gene editing. Variety of new species of flora and fauna flourished in this age. And tragically, many of the species and genus of the old world vanished. Mars was now inhabited. Some went back to earth as pioneers. But history had recorded that before the last wave of trekker left planet earth for Mars there was a terrible war with water dragons or the Thirim Dragons. Now, the year was 1209 since that time Martians began a new life on the new earth. As Senator Cole was searching for the 12 codes, many groups were also running a race to save the planet from the evil politician, Senator Cole. These twelve codes controlled the Tatum Infiniti.

Here was the dilemma. The water dragon's scale was the best endless source of energy. But the swarm when set loose could kill people. So, they must be kept in tanks for them to remain a silk spider stage forever. The problem, their habitat which was water should be replaced every year and a half. Now, the spilled water had turned the green leaves of trees into blue, their dry brown leaves into gray.

Apparently, that was an insignificant matter. But it was extremely huge, indirectly. The water dragon ate only one food, the silver shamrock. It ate only the flower which consisted of complex organic metals with high vegetable protein fiber. But the plant cannot grow without a fertilizer which must be any brown leaves. Gray leaves from blue leaves cannot fertilize the flora. But as the planet's vegetation shifted to a shade of blue, there would be no more silver shamrock. And no silver shamrock meant the water dragons would starve to death. Of course, they also stopped producing green fuel. And there was the possibility that they would come out and start killing people. There were many versions to the events in history. And this generation must find out for themselves the truth. The risk was high. And each one will have to see the inevitable fruit of their actions.
