Turned out there was one such gullible moron, a guy so crazy he was willing to give his life for a lost cause. All we needed was a leader: someone brave enough (or stupid enough) to stand up against Dr. We would rescue our loved ones from his vile factories before they endured a fate worse then death. We would destroy every war machine of that mad dictator one by one. When we were old enough and toughened from hardships we began to make our plans plans to return to the machine city that once had been our home as something other then citizens. I guess it was a crazy coincidence but most of us took shelter in the great wood called Knothole. Before the fall many Mobians, some kids just like me, managed to escape. What he didn't count on was how tenacious life can be. Evolution and the march of progress were all the excuses he needed. No one was safe from his mechanical armies, and his agenda was clear: total domination of everything that lived. Of course, Mobotropolis was only the beginning. This time Mobians were the endangered species. Ten years old, I found myself an orphan without a home. In a single day and night of betrayal our greatest capital Mobotropolis fell to the enemy. May seventeenth two thousand sixty three: a day that will live in infamy. Of course the Mobians knew him by another name. Once a lowly engineers assistant, he rose to prominence with the rallying cry 'perfection through union, salvation through industry.' His name was ever praised for his dark mechanical genius: Dr. But the sinister mastermind who rose from the shadows in humanities darkest hour would come to haunt us.

Years and years of fighting and bloodshed finally yielded a hollow Mobian victory. We discovered we were more human then we'd like to admit and maybe mankind discovered he was more animal. I don't blame man for trying to defend his territory. Animals the world over had gained sentience. The Xorda bio-weapons had had an unintentional side effect. It didn't take long till the Unifaction's first challenge arose. Much of mankind survived in hiding and together they formed the first Global Unifaction, an army of united humanity. What they didn't count on was how tenacious life can be. When they were satisfied that there was no more resistance, they left. Afterwards their kill squads patrolled the ruins. Their biological weapons rained down all over the Earth. But what enemies don't submit to the Xorda tend to be exterminated. Of course mankind wasn't going to stand for that. They offered no terms except for unconditional surrender. According to surviving records it was ten days after World War Three, that the Xorda came. It all happened a long, long time ago on a planet that back then they called Earth. Truth is not everybody knows but I'll try to fill you in as much as I know. To understand why we're in the mess we're in today, you have to look back at what happened then.and why.
