THE HOUSE The house was hard to believe. Bigger, nicer, everythinger than anywhere either of us had lived. Anywhere either of us had imagined we’d be able to live. Probably anywhere you’ve imagined…

I backed this thing so quickly. Emma Peel heading to Doskvol!
It's 968 AC.
An artificial sun shines down upon Doskvol. Autopods cruise down rows of peaceful, prosperous houses. Beneath it all, strange actors and twisted conspiracies work their shadowy agendas.
Blades '68. The future is now. Don't miss it:

The worst part, I think, is that now I know how many of them there are out there. If I had died before 2016, I would’ve died believing that, essentially, most people are trying there best, good at heart. I’ve lost the ability to believe that forever. I will, until I die, be suspicious.

The Right can’t fathom the idea of people believing in anything, in trusting others, in being willing to sacrifice themselves to keep strangers safe.
All they understand is self-service. This is why they can say anything. Why their principles were never real. This is why they’re so afraid.
