You find a pamphlet on the Authority pinned to the door of your assigned apartment. You read the front of it.
KNOW YOUR GOVERNMENT; A HELPFUL GUIDE TO THE AUTHORITY
The Authority was established 3 years after Z-Day in the ruins of Phoenix, Arizona { Renamed the Gate by its new inhabitants } by the glorious President James Wolfe, and his wife, the beautiful Lady Vanessa Wolfe. They constructed the walls that protect us, provide the army that defends the walls and protects the streets. They have protected our last bastion of human civilization. They defend, serve, live and breathe, the Gate and all her inhabitants.---------------------------------------
On the flip side of the pamphlet is a hand scrawled note with information that sounded like a nut job wrote it.
The Authority is a pack of liars. They brought the disease that slaughtered the majority of human life here on Earth. They came from fucking space. They brought this with them and those of us that have survived? We are an experiment. We are, we don't matter to them. We're just a means to an end. You see, their planet was dying. Dying from the same disease that the President and his 'army' brought here. You all remember the meteor shower out in the middle of the Mojave desert, that was them. Them and their space ships. They want to breed with us. To make a new race that is resistant to this disease. They have to contain it. Modify it. Then destroy the originals. The Carriers weren't supposed to happen. The mutants weren't supposed to happen. And now that they have? It's just one more thing for these aliens to hate.---------------------------------------
The truth may have seemed more... insane, but then, what isn't? When the dead can get up and walk around that's when insane becomes everyday and impossible becomes possible. The Authority are aliens. They come from a planet called Tel Leonea. It was beautiful. With a similar make-up to Earth it was only natural that one day our two species would meet, but it wasn't supposed to happen like this. When the disease was originally developed on Tel Leonea it was meant to be used for bio-chemical warfare... it got out. And everything burned after a just a few days. A group of survivors took to the stars in great ships, they were all put into cyrostasis while the ship's autopilot searched for a suitable place, a new home. But the disease was already inside of one of the many ships. It was spreading. Infecting them all as they slept.
After centuries of flying through space the ship finally found Earth, humans had spread across the land and the fledgling species of man was just barely beginning to understand what was beyond their tiny mudball of a planet. The infected ship crash landed, and that's how the end of human civilization as it was known began. The rest of the ships started to 'wake up'. It took three months for the inhabitants of the ships to regain consciousness and begin to process just what had transpired. James, the captain of ship five, felt responsible for what he had brought onto the human race. He saw just how similar they were to the Tivia, the native race of Tel Leonea, in appearance and genetic make-up and made it his goal to save them. And in turn they will be able to save the Tivia.
