On our decimated planet [decimated by a group of scientist in Switzerland who finally were able to reverse an atom and attempted to conduct a controlled collision; which back fired and caused a near extinction level reaction that wiped out the population of Europe, Asia and Africa.

On our decimated planet [decimated by a group of scientist in Switzerland who finally were able to reverse an atom and attempted to conduct a controlled collision; which back fired and caused a near extinction level reaction that wiped out the population of Europe, Asia and Africa. This reaction also threw the planet's ecosystem into a tail spin and the rejuvenation of the earth will take almost 5000 plus years]. Society has broken up into self-governing metropolises; And power, money and law is separated by the ultra-rich and the extreme poor.

On the outskirts of one of these metropolises [based in the ravaged CUIDAD DE MEXICO]; Bands of poor live on the scrapes of the rich and the militarily powerful. In an act to quench boredoms and daily redundancy; a group of rich children, LOS RICOS, drummed up a plan to place valuables, gold, rations and caches in a fifty mile radius outside of the SILVER ZONE. Law in the metropolis only functioned for the privilege. The poor, THE GYPAETUS, had no rights and policed themselves. The only rule for the GYPAETUS was never to enter the "SILVER ZONE." Since the poor lived on the equivalent of one dollar a day, these caches of 100 days of ration, 100 days of gold and etcetera; were a Godsend and collecting these caches was a matter of living or dying.

A propaganda campaign went out letting the "GYPAETUS " know of the coming windfall. Every month [on a random day and hour], one hundred drones would leave the city limits with cargo to drop. The first to these drops would have claim. The additional obstacle was returning your spoils fifty plus miles. The GYPAETUS had to outwit and circumvent each other; in a battle of “eat or be eaten.” The unknown factor was the young rich, "LOS RICOS," had an ulterior motive; the end game was a human hunt of the GYPAETUS.
