The Dark Exodus.
Prologue to Story to come.

The Dark Exodus.

The year is 2080. After the most horrific war the earth had ever seen the United States has conquered or enslaved billions, in orbit dozens of vessels were being assembled at a terrifying rate despite constant sabotage. Colony ships they call them. We call them deathships.
I stand upon a balcony in prison complex 42-A. Close to ten million people inhabit it with me, in another complex Africans, African-Americans and other dark skinned peoples are imprisoned, in yet another the Arabs in their entirety were chained. But this complex, my complex was full of "Goths" people different and non-conformist, political activists, social outcasts and even the diseased.
America was on a Christian holy crusade to "cleanse" the planet of unbeleivers and undesirables. And indeed anyone different whatsoever.
Even those asians, phillipines, indonesians etc that America captured were segregated and assigned to a "colony" ship.
America chirps to the world saying that the ships possess everything needed to start a new and prosperous colony upon the selected destinations, this is a lie. A horrible complex lie, at best one could start a stone age civilisation.

But as I was saying, I am on a balcony in Complex 42-A, it is raining quite heavily making the concrete a sickly wet grey disturbed only by the guards protected by their shield belts.
Few of us wandered the "excercise" yards. Indeed most of us men were too busy protecting the women, the fanatic guards were fond of raping them because of their "unbeleif" or "difference" but the guards didn't dare enter the complex in anything less than several hundred.
I am watching as the Africans are led at gunpoint to the prison shuttles that will ferry them up to the "Dark Future" the colony ship dedicated to the "black" population, it sickened me to the core but now was not the time to act. Our plans were laid well in advance, a single mistake could ruin the plans before they ever got off of the ground.
I watched without surprise as the shuttle lurched and exploded the carcass landing amongst the milling humanity. At a guess over a hundred guards died in the crash.


1 Week Later:

Many of the Complexes are now empty, some were burnt out shells as the guards suppressed riots. But most had been sent up to the ships, the Indonesians were extinct now due to sabotage that had destroyed their ship the "Hydran" we had all watched as the vessel just seemed to burst apart.
But now was our time. I raised the force rifle taken from a guard some time ago as many other Goths did the same, our best web-heads were ready too.




The guards entered to face a storm of fire from their own weapons taken by vanished patrols they staggered back bodies torn apart by the force weapons The goths charged from their complexes, close too half a billion of them surging forth overwhelming the guards with ease and taking their weapons as they went turning the weapons upon the gunships that were moving in to investigate.
About five thousand stormed the control building breaching the outer defenses in seconds, a slow increase in resistance that faltered when the last hundred took the control centre itself and initiated a lockdown of all the useless sections. Goths outside piled into the massive transports as the web-heads loaded domination software into the systems.
They reassigned the transports destinations and uploaded domination software into America's prime colony ship the Liberty. A church-ship they called it. Soon they would defile it's lengths.



I stood now upon the Libertie's bridge. A simple thing really. The controls were built for ease of use, and everything they needed to form a high-tech society was aboard seeing as it was for America's own colony instead of an exodite colony. The web-heads were on the last transport to arrive.
In seconds I located the navigation and pilot controls and went to work on the systems. It's current plot was about 15 lightyears. With work I attached three zeros to it. 15'000 lightyears. It would take 22 years to reach but the star had all the requisites for an earthlike world. I pressed the activation switch. Slowly darkness closed on me as the seats cryostasis systems came to life. When I awoke I would birth an Empire.
