CS Numbers / Demographics
Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2023 2:24 am
Does anyone know or know where I can find statistics about the CS?
I am trying to understand what life is like in the CS. If I Rifted into the territory of the CS. Say I am out in the woods or plains. I'm with my friends from the year 2020. I look around and see wilderness. My phone doesn't get a signal.
Road's gone?
I figure our which way is North and follow trails to get to my home residence only to find my town isn't there anymore or it looks totally different.
Any "people" I come across I see dressed as farm hands or peasants or adventures in MDC armor so I think they are cross-players or like something out of a movie.
I ask, "What happened to world?"
Do they think I'm a con artist? A crazy person? Do they rob me? Lock me up? Kill me because they figure I'm from the past out of a Rift? Would they even know what I'm talking about when I asked what happened to the world?
They have been born and raised in Rifts Earth. To them nothing has changed or just big current events like the fall of Tolkeen, Minion War, etc. Besides, if they are a regular person in CS terrority they can't read, are uneducted (but not stupid), lack knowledge of history. They don't know what was before, only what is now.
I see what? People with bionics/cybernetic?
Using psychic powers?
I ask around enough would I get the general information:
Total population of CS territory:
Humans?
Dog Boys?
Psi-Stalkers?
D-Bees?
Percent Pyschics?
Percent possessing Bionic/cybernetic?
Somewhere before, during and after "this" I'm going to think, how can I get home again?
Then, how do I survive and thrive in "these" new times?
I think, like a movie, I need a gun?
I think, strength in numbers?
Money still has value, that hasn't changed. But I don't have modern currancy, only what I have on me I can trade.
Honestly, I'd keep trying to wake up, like it was a bad dream. Then I'd probably run back to where I Rifted in and hope another Rift opened because I have no money "here" and there is not sign of a Walmart, Starbucks and my job and place of living are gone. Anyone NOT with me is gone, unless I can travel back to them. Eventually, I would give up hope of ever returning and have to get a job before I starved or got eaten.
Knowing only what someone in the CS territory told me I'd probably buy into the CS propaganda until I met a Dbee or magic user or friendly supernatural. Even then, they are probably just normal for them and I'd still be thinking about how to save myself. Where am I going to go? How will I get a job when I get there? How will I survive until I do?
