Golden trumpets, white horses, purging the unworthy through glory and whatnot. It wasn't like that.

Angels, they weren't beautiful and awe-inspiring warriors. Nobody still has any idea what they are. Some of them are perverted combinations of ancient animals and people, some of them are made out of several machines and weapons, plenty of which don´t even exist. We caught one a week ago through a tripwire. A bear with a human face, six legs, covered in twitching moth wings. Your other instructor got killed by a really nasty one a few months back, dozens of these floating swords surrounding a flying fetus. The worst part about them is the sound. Screeching, loud, awful. Because we're underground we hear their wailing from miles away. A few of them even speak English to try and bait you in. That fetus angel? Took over our radio signals pretending to be a lost child. Fucker.

Now, usually in recorded messages like this I'd include the date somewhere, but it doesn't really matter that much nowadays, does it? The north says it's 2154, the south says we're still in 2153, the east just gave up and started counting all over again. You're going to spend your whole life underground killing angels, and you're going to die underground getting killed by angels, so numbers aren't important. You hearing this recording means I'm busy doing guard duty, which means that no one there is actually doing their job in starting your training. Gear up, take a weapon, head out. Not difficult.

What little has remained of mankind now dwells under the earth to avoid the sky and its now fatal light. Surreal, reality-defying angels hunt and kill all who resist judgement without mercy.

Technology has stagnated, as anything advanced past a certain point invokes their wrath. Yet, the creation of unique weapons and devices from the remains of angels has given humanity an advantage. These inventions are closer to miracles than to science, and carry the possibility of killing their owners or worse. 

Angels are the most notorious threat, though man is still its own greatest enemy. Violent cults, both in favor of and against God, have spread throughout the system and are capable of committing every atrocity imaginable to see their beliefs to the end. Settlements that have been separated from the main networks of civilization have malformed into aberrations of their past selves. There are even whispers of demons plotting their return to strike back once more.

The Hoover Federation is a group dedicated to maintaining stability within the midwestern United States in what is now called the Locked Central System, the most influential and powerful group of settlements in the country. The Hoover Federation itself recruits the most anomalous resistant survivors and suits them with untested and dangerous equipment for the sole purpose of ensuring the survival of mankind. Many of their members have been enlisted against their will, and many will perish because of their equipment without ever having set foot in a battlefield.
