This is based off of the world created by the band The Protomen. If you want a real full understanding, check out their songs. The back story Many years ago two men built robots to help make the struggles of mankind easier. To help with the labors they endured in the mines and factories. The Good Doctor intended just that, for man and machine to survive side by side. The other man had other plans, he believed the people owed thme both everything for building all these robots. So he hatched a plan, he framed the Good Doctor for a murder, he used his secret robot assassin and the police arrived at the scene only to find the dead woman and the Good Doctor. The second part of this man's plan was to bind the working hand of mankind. Everything was rebuilt for them, made better, the homeless and criminal elements were systematically removed. Factories were automatized, and the mines worked by the robots. Everyone was paid for their servances as the robots replaced them. It seemed like heaven. As years passed children grew up not knowing of the old world, because to the older generations this world seemed so much better, and rumors began to speak of a demon who would make you disappear in your sleep if you had an ill-word to speak against the machines, so they were raised to stay close to their mothers while outside,always smile and never speak ill of the machines. After all, this world was a gift given by the man controlling the machines and he could just as easily take it all away again couldn't he? So the machines kept everyone safe, kept them silent.

A tower with a giant screen stand above all else in the city, able to be seen from almost everywhere in the city. All the news was broadcasted from here, when there was no news the following prases would play "We keep you safe, We are your hope, We have control." Posters of the man who controls the robots are all over various walls in the city with the word obey written. This is normal to you though. It's all you've ever known, but some of you have grown tired of this. Tired of living in this silent fear.
♫This city's sleeping like a soldier trapped inside of an iron lung, Machines can keep you breathing but what happens when you find a new war's begun? Flip a switch and turn it off, you won't be able to breathe. So either way you're a casualty. I've got this burning like my veins are filled with nothing but gasoline. And with a spark, it's gonna be the biggest fire they've ever seen. Cut me down or let me run, either way it's all gonna burn... The only way that they'll ever learn We've got to turn it off, Flip a switch. Light up the night! There is a city that this darkness can't hide. There are the embers of a fire that's gone out, But I can still feel the heat on my skin This mess we're in, well you and I, maybe you and I, We can still make it right. Maybe we can bring back the light.
At the heart of the city there is a building that looks down over all there is. And the man in the tower controls it all without raising a single fist. It's like they gathered up the city, they sold it to the devil, and now It's gone to hell and they wonder how. Well, a friend once told me: Men, they would follow any man who would turn the wheels. Now the wheels are spinning out of control; what would they do if we held them still? If you destroy the working parts, what you'll get is a broken machine. A beacon of light from a burning screen. Light it up. Light up the night.
There is a city that this darkness can't hide. There are the embers of a fire that's gone out, But I can still feel the heat on my skin. This mess we're in, well you and I, maybe you and I, We can light up the night. There is a city that this darkness can't hide. There are the embers of a fire that's gone out, But I can still feel the heat on my skin. This mess we're in, well you and I, maybe you and I, We can light up the night. There is a city that this darkness can't hide There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city, and we will stand in the light. We will stand in the light, you and I. You and I. We can bring back the light.♪
I'm breaking out of this city tonight. I'm going to search for the Good Doctor. I'm sending out this message tonight, send a signal back if you can hear me. Don't turn your back on the city.- Mav
