A Better Tomorrow

Story summary for A Better Tomorrow:

A full piece of fiction for A Better Tomorrow will be posted in the coming weeks, but here's what you need to know.  After the Jammers set off the Chi Bomb in Year of the Goat, a vast wasteland started to spread where there was no Chi. Silverback used this as an opportunity to seize control of the newly opened 2125 juncture, and now the Jammers control the vast wasteland of the future.  The Dragons, less a cohesive faction than ever, resist the Jammer's control.  The wasteland itself is plagued by darkness creatures and by Lotus raiders, who harass those who cross the wastes.  The Ascended have virtually no power here, and have been forced into a small number of Walled Enclaves through the wasteland.  The Hand have retreated even further than the Ascended, seeking to protect what green remains in this future, and only occasionally do they leave their isolated banyan grove.  Li Ting, sensing the opportunity to seize power in a newly opened juncture, has arrived on the heels of his fire emissaries.  Unbeknownst almost everybody, the Chi Bomb opened up an incredibly unstable, and incredibly momentary, juncture to 1944.  Johann Bonengel seized the opportunity to escape, and with his most loyal hell squad, he left 1994, assuming he'd end up in the now-closed 2083 juncture.  Instead, he arrived deep in the wastelands of 2125, where he plots his next move.
