Part One

It is amazing that random people, thrown into extraordinary situations, can cause world wide shock and the destruction of an empire. One interesting situation of this happening was the Second Civil War of Nova Brittanica:

The small ship of immigrants was coming from British Londinium to Nova Brittanica. There was nothing peculiar about it, but a single pirate vessel attacking it would set into motion a series of events that would shock the world.

Alexander was a British Londinian, and he was going to Nova Brittanica to find an economy that wasn't one gigantic corporation ruling everything. He saw a small island to the south and looked it up on his map of Nova Brittanica. It was called "Belle Island", and the Nova Brittanican government did not allow anyone on the island, by punishment of death.

Boom!

The small boat of immigrants had been attacked by pirates. "Return fire!" the captain shouted.

Boom!

Alexander realized that the pirate ship had come from Belle Island. "Get us to that island, we're taking on water!" the captain shouted.

Boom!

As the immigrant vessel was nearing the island, a final explosion sealed the ship's fate by hitting the engine. While his fellow passengers died or continued manning the weapons, Alexander was blown off the ship and into the water, near the island. He used all of his strength, and made it to the island.

Boom!

Alexander turned around, and saw that, even as the immigrant boat was swallowed by the water, it had lit the other ship on fire. He could hear the screams of agony from the pirates.

Then he realized what had happened. He was stranded on an island no one was supposed to be on, by punishment of death. He was stranded on Belle Island.

OOC: I'll tell you when you can start RPing characters. For now, just sit back and enjoy.

Alexander rested for a while, and then rose following a stone path. I can't believe this happened to me. After walking for about a minute he saw a tunnel into a hill. Curious, he went in.

He found a suit of clothes, and changed into them, as his own clothes were soaking wet. Continued exploration found a stange "canister". It was planted in the ground, and had a fragile glass top. Inside of it was a glowing green liquid. Without knowing what he was doing, he placed his hand on the top of the canister. The top broke, and the liquid sucked itself into him. Alexander gasped, as it was a wonderful feeling. Yet, he wondered what the stuff had done to him.

After leaving the bunker and following the stone path a bit more, he found a field of grazing pigs. Continuing on the stone path he then found a labratory. Most of the equipment in it was broken, but there was two more of the canisters there. Without thinking about, he used both of them. He then realized three things. He seemed to have learned how to build a house, how electricity was produced, and how to fire a gun.

Once he left the labratory, and continuing on the stone path, he found yet another building. Entering, he found an outdated, but still working computer. Then a red scanning light swept over him. "You're clear, continue to the other side of this quarintine hall. The door has opened." said a mechanical voice, followed by the click of a door opening.

Startled, Alexander did what the voice said. On the other side of the quarantine hall, Alexander found more grazing pigs, and watching over them, a hunched over man! The shepherd turned and saw him, and started to approach. As the shepherd approached, Alexander realized that it wasn't a human. The shepherd was a foot to short, had eight fingers total, holes for ears, and a hunched back.

"Am I mad? No, it really is a human! I must go tell everyone in Eviglo. Oh, I am sorry, human, were are my manners. My name is Tim. Would you like me to take you to Eviglo?" the creature, Tim, asked.

"Uh, yes... take me to Eviglo. On the way you can tell me what Eviglo is." Alexander responded.

As Alexander and Tim walked, Tim explained that Eviglo was the city where his people lived. Alexander was uncomfortable with the little Servilis, as he called himself.

Eviglo was a fairly large city. Servilii were everywhere, farming, gaurding, and selling things. Yet all of the Servilii stopped to stare as Alexander walked by. Tim nervously took him to a "city hall", and then returned to his pigs. In the "city hall", a taller then usual Servilis met him. He was obviously the leader of the place.

"Hello, human. My name is Jeremiah, and I am the mayor of Eviglo, second in command of the Eviglites. The Eviglites are not slaves, and we want equal rights with humans. Should you try to enslave us, you will be killed." Jeremiah told him boldly.

"What? Why would I enslave you?" Alexander asked, baffled.

"That is why the Nova Brittanicans created us. If you want our history, go to Daniel." Jeremiah responded.

So Alexander searched the town until he found the Servilis called Daniel.

"Fifty years ago, my people were born on this island, and we were the final step in a government experiment. We started as an innoncent change in evolution, and then the government took over. When they were done, they took large ammounts of us as secret slaves. However, this island was to remain as the center of government experiment. The government experimented with nuclear technology, and found that they could create canisters that would spread knowledge. They then created the Augmenter. It is essentially the biggest, greatest, canister. However, the radioactive canisters created wide cases of disease. The government left us here to die, and hid the island's secrets. Three factions formed, the Eviglites, Columnorites, and Oboedions. If you want to learn more of the groups, find Jeremy." Daniel explained to Alexander.

It did not take long to find Jeremy, as he was the leader of all the Eviglites.

"The Eviglites want equal rights for Humans and Servilii. The Columnorites want to destroy all the humans in Nova Brittanica. The Oboedions see humans as Gods, and want to serve them." Jeremy told Alexander.

In response Alexander said, "Your philosophy seems to be the wisest of all the three. I would like to do whatever I can to help your cause."

"You are wise human. Here is what you can do. There is a group of Oboedions blocking our water supply. Go to them, and tell them to leave." Jeremy ordered, somewhat surprised.

OOC: Charcaters can start now. They have to be Servilii for Part One though.

OOC: I've just been informed that I'm going to have to leave on Christmas, so I'm going to speed it up to Part Four, the final part.

Summary of Part One

Alexander continued to explore Belle Island, eventually found another human, and got in a fight. The highly nuclear Augmentor was activated during this fight, and Alexander died in the explosion. The entirity of the mountains blew up, and alerted the Nova Brittanican government. A secret invasion took place to kill all life on the island, and hide the explosive.

Summary of Part Two

Roughly 1/6th of the Servilis population was not taken slave, and a rebel leader took them to another island in the Nova Brittanican Fiji province. Power is gained, and eventually the rebels are found.

Summary of Part Three

In response to the discovery, the rebels go militant and take over the largest island chain in Nova Brittanican Fiji.

Part Four

Now that the rebellion has been made public, Servilii everywhere come out of their secret slavery to try to gain freedom. A full scale civil war has broken out between three groups. The first group wants the Servilii to be slaves, the second wants them humans in Nova Brittanica killed, and the third wants Nova Brittanica to have equal rights for Servilii and Humans.
