Fotos (c) Cloud 9 The Tribe Ltd Before the virus  Fotos (c) Cloud 9 The Tribe Lt Before the virus there was a happy everyday suburban family. They were very affluent, and doing well. The father was involved in the military and he was a very successful scientist who pioneered many different innovations. They were a busy working class family and both parents were often away from home. Their young boy was often quite lonely because his mum was also a career woman. When the boy was young he was struck by an illnesss which left his parents distraught. They thought it was Polio or MS or even Parkinsons. So the poor child was barely able to walk and ended up confined in a wheelchair where he dreamed of a different future for himself. He would fantasise day and night about being able to walk again. The child had lots of time on his hands due to his disability and became very interested in his fathers knowledge of technology. Due to his father's equipment and contacts the boy had some amazing computer gadgets and equipment to play with and much preferred these over cars and bikes. His true potential became apparent to all as he was clearly a childhood prodigy. A genius like his father and his I.Q was off the scale. The boy hoped to use the power of technology and computers to improve his dibilitating condition. He dreamed of inventing a virtual world he could visit. He couldn't walk in the real world but in his virtual world he could run like an olympic athlete, and soar like an eagle. This boy is Ram. When the virus hit he was traumatised at losing his family - he had to learn to be ruthless. He would have to use all his genius and gifts to survive as a wheelchair bound kid in a world with no adults to help him. Where other kids would use their street guile, physical size and strength to help defend themselves in a hostile new world, Ram had only his mind. Regarded as a visionary by many - they saw he had the potential to lift society out of its return to primitive laws of the jungle and transform it into a high tech stable and radical future. Ram's dream was to turn Science fiction into Science fact. With the techology he knew, he could indeed make miracles - he could make the lame, walk. Ram regarded himself as a Techno messiah of the future. His computers would let him do anything he wished to achieve. From a young age Ram was influenced by his father and his father's profession. He would often accompany his father to work and watch him working on top secret experiments. His father was into integrating computer technology with biology and with this came Virtual Reality. The military wanted computers to be able to hook into the mind's subconscious. The long term goals were to help pilots learn how to fly and to fly dangerous missions from the comfort of a VR machine. They could be put into all sorts of situations - not just flying - and their ability, focus and mental alertness could be monitored. Ram's father was devoted to the project but also saw another use for the technology. He realised that people could live their dreams within the VR world. There was no limit to what the world of virtual reality could bring to someone's life. Ram wanted to follow in his father's footsteps which was why his father involved him so much. Ram enjoyed going to his fathers military base and felt important that his father had so much faith in him. The miltary were also working on laser prototypes. These new-age weapons were supposed to be the weapon of the future. The wrist mounted lasers had high and low settings to suit the occasion of using them. With one hit you could disable someone and with another you could render them lifeless. A sound weapon was also made - but not quite finished. This weapon "the sound blaster" was to be used on large groups. A 30 second burst from this machine and everyone within hearing distance would have their eardrums turning inside out putting them off balance and squirming in pain. Of course the Techno's are protected from this with a micro-filter placed in their ears. When the virus struck, Ram believed these weapons still had a future. He worked hard on developing and finishing them off. They have become the weapons of the Techno's. Ram's virtual world was still in the making and was going to be perfect when he had finished with it. After the virus Ram knew he was destined to be a leader. He recruited the top kids in his school. They were all top of their class in science, maths, computers, biology, and chemistry. He knew he could make a difference if he could get the power |
