/* Was this it? Will the world end just like this? */
The once plentiful fields filled with crops had withered - the ground had now become cracked and fragile. The once endlessly flowing rivers had lost their brilliance - drops of water seeped through the ground and ran, lest they be trapped by the sun. The once shining chunks of ore were almost nowhere to be seen - they seemed to had dulled and hidden themselves. The once shimmering reserves of oil seemed to have drowned in the heat - perhaps here or there you could see drops of oil crowding together, desperate to survive.
One by one, great countries all across the globe collapsed. They could not withstand the lack of resources, as their people could no longer support themselves. A mere wind could bring you to hear the faint but desperate pleas of help - which would not come. Those who fell and managed to get back on their feet again banded together to form colonies, barely capable of supplying themselves with what they needed.
Although water was prized beyond all else, it did not mean that food, metal and oil were unimportant and neglected. Without the food, who would be fit enough to rebuild in the ruins of our world? Without the metal, what would be recreate our world with? Without the oil, were we supposed to walk across the desert, swim across the ocean?
Colonies, desperate for survival and in need of sacred resources, battled each other. Amidst all the chaos, alliances were formed. These groups of colonies united under their flags, and protected each other, supported each other.
Meanwhile, a group of scientists with an astonishing amount of supplies - enough to last themselves for years - had stumbled upon ancient Atlantic runes...

Where am I?
I look around, there is nothing but darkness. No, even darkness doesn't exist. This is a void, nothing exists in here.
I feel so relaxed, the thought that nothing exists in this place makes me feel at ease. If nothing exists, I don't have to be afraid of getting hurt anymore.
This is the place for me...
In the midst of nothingness, I hear a sound:
"Commander..."
A sound of someone...
"Commander..."
Is she calling me?
"Commander..."
How could she be here, in this nothingness...
"Sigh..."
I feel pain in my ears. "OUCH!"
"Miss Susan, what do you think you are doing?"
I'm in my office, having my ears pulled by my secretary, Miss Aki.
"Ouch, what do you think you're doing?"
"That was MY question. There will be a meeting in 5 minutes and here you are taking a nap, without having anything prepared for that. What do you think you will say to the representatives?"
It took me 5 seconds to realize...
"Oh my god, what am I supposed to do?"
"Sigh... I knew this would happen. Here, I've prepared the documents needed for you."
She handed me a folder. I took a quick glance.
"Well it's very detailed and well prepared."
I look at Aki, she gently smiles at me and says that she has to do some other jobs, and turns away.
Now let me introduce myself, my name is Susan and I'm the Commander of a colony called 12YO.
A long time ago, in this world there were countries, a bigger and better type of colony, living peacefully together. Although there was conflict from time to time, all in all, they were very peaceful places to live. But the resources were getting more and more scarce, big countries collapsed and colonies were formed. Since then wars between colonies had become our everyday bread and butter. Our colony is not an exception.
Sometimes I wonder, what does it feel like living in peace? Will peace ever return to this chaotic place again?
My phone rang, alerting me it's time for the meeting. Thanks to Aki, the meeting goes smoothly.
After the meeting, I've been informed that we have several problems arising. However we can only deal with only one at a time.
Spoiler:
What should I do?
Choice 1: Upgrading metal mines and oil well Choice 2: Upgrading civilian facilities Choice 3: Upgrading military buildings

Spoiler:
I've decided. We'll focus on getting more resources. The more resources we have, the more buildings we can afford.
I think I made the right choice.
The next day, I made a tour around the colony.
This colony has just been built. 5 years ago, our family had managed to cultivate a small area for food. And since then, more and more people gathered around us. They helped us expand the cultivation area and in return, received food. Time passed, our small family became a colony. And I, as the only child of the family, became the Commander.
Everything has turned into chaos since then. As a Commander, apart from producing food, I have to look after every aspect of my people: health, education, security, environment, etc. There was a time when I thought I couldn't take it anymore and decided to quit. Then Miss Aki appeared.
She helped me out and re-organized the government system. She appointed the representatives, arranged my timetable and paperworks. I couldn't say that my life has been made easy since then, I still barely keep up with the workloads, however, I couldn't have made it this far without her help.
We arrive at the resource complex.
This resource complex was built 2 years ago in a colony expansion, providing metal, oil and energy for our colony's needs. Since then, our colony has been upgraded significantly. Iron is found in a mountain 20 kms up North, we've found some abandoned oil wells in the West as well, though the reserves are not much I guess it'll be enough for about 10 to 20 years.
5 kms away from the resource complex is the military zone. Here we recruit soldiers to protect the colony. Recently our army was crushed while defending against enemy troops. However, we managed to gain a lot of data about the more advanced weapons. Our scientists are working day and night to research on the data. I hope that we can have a strong army once they're done.
When I return to my office, Miss Aki informed me that an alliance has sent me an invitation and was wondering if I want to join them.
An alliance is simply a group of colonies joined together, helping each other economically as well as militarily. I've heard that some alliance has succeeded in defending against a large army - 3 times larger than the army that attacked us.

Spoiler:
Joining an alliance will only drag you down. I'm sure that they will take every bit of our metal and oil reserves once we join, and force our troops to be killed to protect them while letting us die when we're attacked.
I don't need an alliance, I myself will bring this colony to prosperity.
"Tell them that I refuse. I don't want to be in any alliance" I tell Aki.
Looking at me for a second, he asked.
"Are you sure you want to refuse the invitation, Miss Susan?"
"Err yes"
"Commander", he paused, "Do you understand the importance of an alliance?"
"Yes, they will help us when we are running low on metal and oil reserves. As well as helping us defend in case of wars"
"So why did you refuse?"
"I can see our colony giving out free metal and oil and our men protecting their colonies. Then they kick us out when we have no use left for them."
"I see, so you are well aware of that situation"
"That's why..."
"But that's not the right action to do, Miss Susan."
"Wat do you mean?"
"I mean, alliance is a good thing to have, they will help you out when you need help."
"But they can..."
"But they can be a bad alliance and take all your resources and abandon you, am I right?"
"Yes."
"But do you have any proof that they will do that?"
"Same to you, Aki, u don't have either."
"That's why we have to find it"
"Huh?"
"Miss Susan, I think it's better to find out more about this alliance before accepting or refusing."
"You're right, it wouldn't hurt after all"
I send out a spy to gather information about the alliance. And as I expected, report says that the alliance members don't even care for each other.
However, it also says that there is a better alliance nearby and they are also in need of members.
After consulting with Miss Aki as well as the Representatives, I decided to join that alliance.
The alliance is named "Battle Dawn".
Right after our colony join Battle Dawn, I was invited (or rather, summoned) to a alliance meeting.
At the meeting, they asked me for the colony details. They explained that they needed those details to determine the roles for us in the alliance.
In other words, the colony will be the economical support, military support, or intelligence support, depends on how the colony is doing.
However, our colony is new, the production is still low, and not to mention our army has just recently been crushed.
I'm afraid that if I tell the truth right now, I'll be kicked out of the alliance, not to mention they will launch a big attack at us and destroy our colony.
