The year is 2083. The United States is in ruin after decades of state-sponsored race riots and economic decline. COVID strain #2465 lockdowns are in full effect. The ongoing War on Terror has escalated to new heights to combat the growing threat from numerous terrorist groups which have gripped the nation with fear.
Most Americans subsist on what little food they can scavenge on the black market with their Universal Basic Income, but this has become increasingly risky as of late. The PRF (Pandemic Response Force), working in conjunction with the CDC, have been cracking down on "superspreader health terrorists" attempting to endanger national security by illegally selling food on the black market. Some citizens have managed to secure a reasonable standard of living by enlisting in the military to pilot drones and bomb nameless, faceless enemies in the Middle East. Meanwhile, the FBI keeps us safe from the threat of white supremacy and unconscious bias by scanning the facial expressions of children in schools using advanced cameras and software. Expressions of confusion or disagreement with any state-approved lecture prompts harsh discipline for the student and a knock on the parents' door by the FBI.
Across the nation, citizens huddle in community housing and watch the state-run "American Free Press," formed by a merger between ABC, CNN, and NPR in 2038. The news reports gleefully that another domestic terrorist has been detained and charged with distributing memes on the dark web. The camera flips to an in-the-field shot of a man being dragged out of his apartment by heroic FBI counter-terrorism forces in full tactical gear. The graphic on the man's black t-shirt, likely a large letter "Q" patterned with the American Flag, is blurred on screen to protect viewers from the obscene graphic. The man's wife and two children can be seen weeping in the doorway in the background of the shot, and a blue-haired demigirl somewhere in America wonders out loud why the man's family is not being arrested too.
Just before the man is forcefully shoved into the backseat of a black MRAP with FBI markings and tinted windows, he can be heard shouting "TRUST THE PLAN! MASS ARRESTS OF CORRUPT WORLD LEADERS COMING ANY DAY NOW!"
