As the war drags on into the 1960s, society collapses into a dark age marked by hyperinflation and a deadly plague that wipes out half of humanity.
By 1970, warlord Rudolf, the "Boss" of Everytown, rejects Cabal's offer to join the peace-seeking organization "Wings Over the World," but is ultimately overthrown when they use a "Gas of Peace" to take control.
Under Cabal's leadership, civilization is rebuilt by 2036, but tensions rise as the populace demands a break from progress, culminating in a debate about humanity's future as Cabal prepares for the first crewed flight to the Moon.
