[@ProPro]Sorry if this is a dumb question but I've been reading over the story on the OP and was wondering if we had a revolutionary army of some kind? I mean, you made it clear that the aliens don't use military force to suppress people, instead they use drug induced mind control to turn the populace docile. [quote=@ProPro]Ten years ago Galatec, a multi-galactic corporation and superpower, arrived under the banner of peace and trade. The united government of New Earth established treaties and trade agreements which allowed Galatec access to the planet's resources, and in exchange they would provided goods and services to the good people of New Earth. What nobody saw coming was a corporate takeover of the most hostile variety. The products provided by Galatec were designed to make humans complacent, obedient, servants and sheep to their alien benefactors. When the time came, Galatec took over with no resistance, and now the entire population exists as slave labor to expand the corrupt company's resources and profit margin. [/quote] But I had a thought... There has to be an interval of time between Galatec giving people these "too good to be true" products and their spread to every facet of humanity right? There are over 6 billion people on the planet. They had to wait for the mind control to get to everyone, even if they put it in the water. And surely there were people who were out of range of the effects (people in submarines or in caves) or those that didn't trust the new technology because it was obviously too good to be true and just drank bottled water. There are many humans who are naturally, and often rightfully, paranoid when it comes to gifts from the heavens. So, my question is, was there an interval of time between Galatec's arrival and the enslavement of humanity? And, if yes to the above, how long was that interval and is there a rebel force of underground humans that banded together in that interval of time? Again, sorry if that was dumb question or if it was asked before. I miss things sometimes...
