Kind of like a post apocalyptic band of refugees. Moving from place to place as civilization crumbles.

Where no one place is ever safe for to long, because so many refugees show up that they bring the plague with them, and you have to move again.

So yes, get off my lawn you damn kids. I started my career with an HP 1000 A-Series minicomputers running RTE-A. But don’t ask me to remember anything more than the name. That knowledges is lost to the brain fog.

Oh my god are we just playing text based Kenshi?

We are part of the swarm. Or the hive, if you will. We cannot escape it.

Yes, i am one of the old ones. Tasked with keeping the old ways alive. But time has taken its toll. I am but a shadow of what I once was.

Once we were great being who reached for the stars. But then the fall came. Now we live like animals in the ruins of what once was greatness.
