Core Narrative 2

CORRESPONDING MACRO-STORY BEAT: Enter Bizarro World
10 years after the implementation of the God Particle the population keeps growing and growing. Starting civil unrest in communities and the wealth gap suddenly increasing. The rich stay rich and the poor not only stay poor but get even poorer because of the rise of people is ever growing. A criminal group forms in Southern California determined to get back at all the rich people in the state and slowly starts to commit robberies to give back to the people that are suffering daily. Soon the Government hears about this group and their Robin Hood like exploits of taking from the rich and giving to the poor. They dub the 12 members “The Dirty Dozen” and soon declare them enemies of the state. The Government then uses them as an example to pass new legislation to combat the constant growing population and to assert their power across the country. The law states that crimes such as robbery, and simply receiving aid from any one of the Dirty Dozen is punishable with automatic death. A trial can be requested but not one trial has resulted in the innocence of the defendant.

One by one the Government finds each one and murders them on live television to show the American people what can happen when you defy the new authoritarian regime. The final members plan their biggest heist yet to hack into Wall Street computers and hit as many wealthy people they can and somehow divert those funds around the community. They are eventually caught before they can make an impact and are murdered on the steps of the Abraham Lincoln Monument where Martin Luther King gave his revered I Have A Dream speech showing just how lost America has become.
