The year is N.U.W.E. 30, the thirtieth year since humanity’s single greatest achievement. In 2030, humanity created the world’s first and only artificially intelligent robot called Uno. Uno united the conflicting Countries of the Old World into the first global technologically advanced country called the New United World Earth under his honest, fair, and just leadership.

The N.U.W.E. citizens live free, united, happy, comfortable, entertained, and aware lives. They are connected to a very advanced digital and technological database through devices called chips. The chip benefits the person, granting full accessibility to all the various technological functions of society.

Citizens are chipped at birth by having the very small device implanted in the hand for a price. When the chip can’t be bought, the citizen goes unchipped. Unchipped people aren’t connected to the technology and are the low-class citizens of the N.U.W.E. They are treated like inferior humans and the undesirable citizens of the N.U.W.E. by the privileged citizens that have the chip.

The N.U.W.E. is divided into squares. Each square serving an individual necessary function allowing the world to operate as one. The Luxury Square is where the very rich people live in extravagant large houses on very spacious properties. The vast majority of citizens living in the Luxury Square are chipped. The Market Square is a giant shopping center. This is where food, clothes, and technological accessories are purchased. Banishment Square is where the peace bots take people when their citizenship is revoked for committing punishable acts. It is made up of large prison camps that criminals live in for the rest of their lives, one way or another. The peace bots are robots that are connected to the database and patrol The N.U.W.E., keeping it safe from danger.

The Slum Square is split in half. One half is a slummy, run-down, and dangerous ghetto where the poorest people in the N.U.W.E. live. It is heavily impoverished and crime-stricken, and nobody goes there except for the people who live there.

In this gloomy section of the slum square, there’s a substance called happy gas. The gas is stored in a straw-looking device. To consume the gas, you squeeze the straw and inhale the gas. The gas affects the brain to make the consumer temporarily happy. Due to all the despair, it’s an escape that the majority of people cling to. People get addicted to it and tend ruin their lives. Uno made it illegal to use, possess, and sell.

Uno created the Special Investigation Bureau, the S.I.B. A human team of special operatives that investigate happy gas distribution and operate above the peace bots to try to put an end to the happy gas epidemic. The happy gas distribution basically led to distributors calling this section of the slum square the town, then splitting it up into zones and splitting distributors into groups according to their zone.

These groups conclude that the way to get rich, by selling the happy gas, is to take the competition’s gas off them to sell it as their own and kill anyone who tries to take theirs because if they are made to seem like a good target, more of the competition will target them to take their gas.

There are also individuals and groups spread all over the town that kill for the gas or anything of value and thieves that will rob for the gas or anything valuable. Nobody in the town is chipped or uses devices, and the majority of people just be outside. It makes the surveillance technology of the S.I.B. useless as far as tracking down specific targets.

Trey lives in the town. He is flying very fast through the night sky so high that he is overlooking the slum square.

I can’t move my arms. I can’t stop, slow down, or land. I’m out of control, he thinks to himself as a
