COLLECTION>
In this Dystopia, we the humans have become the collectibles. We are here solely to serve, please, and entertain.
The immortal trillionaires of this post-apocalyptic future have enslaved us. They’ve perfected the art of controlling our thoughts and dictating our every move. At first this was done through brainwashing, conditioning, controlling the information, and addicting us to their advanced pharmaceuticals. Then came the brain chips.
Now, if they don’t like something about us, they modify us using advanced bionic and cyborg technologies. If that doesn’t work, we’re put in storage, scrapped for parts, turned into grotesque sculptures, or composted.
MODIFICATION>
Inspired by primitive AI-generated Art, a whole new kind of what they used to call “plastic surgery” was born.
Rooted in the quest to be forever young and beautiful, these technologies quickly evolved into something much more sinister.
Before we could change our nose, add dimples, pull back our faces to eliminate wrinkles. Now, we could upload our brains. Create digital versions of our minds, and even download those AI-clones of our brains into multiple different bodies. Bodies used to belong to other people.
Somewhere along the way, most of us became convinced it was a good idea to have their arms and legs removed and replaced with Amazian Bionics. The selling points? At first they’d pay you for your old limbs. Once it became common knowledge that it would reduce the amount of food you needed, reduce your negative impact on the planet, and give you a superhero-like capabilities…we gladly paid them to dismember us.
PERFECTION>
Once they own you, they’ll stop at nothing to make you perfect. Money means nothing to them. They have it all. We are nothing if not owned.
When the idea of consensual ownership became mainstream, it started to loose it’s appeal to the Bionic Billionaires. Like a luxury handbag that anyone could buy, those who wanted to be owned became undesirable.
This led to unprecedented levels of kidnapping and human trafficking. The captured were one of a kind. True original works of art. Incredibly diverse expressions of their owners’ unique aesthetics and/or current whims.
SHOWCASING>
What’s the point of owning things if you can’t show them off? Many people with nothing still either idolized or loved to hate those with everything. The Bionic Billionaires and their curiosities were undeniably interesting.
Never ones to turn down fame and even more money, the Bionic Ballet was born.
At the Bionic Ballet, the owners could show off their latest collections and creations. Their little darlings would dance to music, take off their clothes, and showcase their many other talents. The adoring owners and their enthusiastic audiences couldn’t get enough.
DEPARTING DYSTOPIA 5- BIONIC BALLET>
THE BACKSTORY:
We found out what’s been happening to all the TSIMECA Soldiers that have gone missing. The Bionic Billionaires aren’t even trying to hide it. Not even trying to keep us out of their “used toy boxes” and spare parts warehouses. We have become a part of their collection of human oddities. They plan to showcase our fallen soldiers to entertain their Loyalist following. Words cannot describe the horror, degradation, and humiliation these brave souls are enduring. We have to stop The Bionic Ballet.
MAIN CAST/CHARACTERS: TBD
MAINTENANCE>
Our plan is to infiltrate the Bionic Ballet and take it down from the inside. They may be watching and listening, so we cannot discuss any additional details at this time. Sign up our heavily encrypted BASECAMP BULLETIN to stay in the loop on this and all future missions.
