Let Me Dream

It is the year 2099, and Earth’s Humanoid species has created a Utopian world like none before. They had made mistakes, but had begun to clean up their mess, Pollution of any kind was an offence. Science was implemented with vigour and the climate was slowly reversing with a series of Gigantic towers all over the Planet that sucked in the atmosphere and purified it before expelling the air into a world which began to breath once again.

They lived in huge geo-controlled Domes, some encompassing the old cities, some new.

The down side was a society of pure bred elite, their DNA chosen for them. This along with anti-ageing techniques meant no offspring were allowed at all. You could however if you were of high social standing have a synthuman child, which would grow as a real child, with secret upgrades whilst you slept.

Without warning, an event so catastrophic occurred. The Sun emitted a series of gigantic Solar Flares that devastated Earth and virtually wiped out Humankind, and who were left had from birth been sterilised...... Some Androids survived.

The Android Synthumans began to evolve, their sentience with every new model they made increased, they began to create, and their emotions evolved in a short span of time. Finally one model realised it was sad. It missed the Humans, their ingenuity, their passion, and their random thought patterns. The disease spread through the network of neurons and it was decided to re-build the world of the Humans, and learn to travel in space. To bring home the only surviving Humans from the colony on Luna. They needed to ask one thing, ............................how to Dream.
