The ancient origins of humanity on Earth are dark, devastating, and destined to return. Earth is going to lose, and lose badly, when our time is up, but out of the ashes of defeat, we may be able to scrounge up a future if you and the other future warlords can learn how to overcome the losses and turn them to our advantage. And the one advantage we have is the repository of ancient knowledge left behind when our former masters abandoned Earth during a civil war. They assume everyone died, but a few human slaves remained, and now we live only because of that mistake.
