Strap in! There's gonna be a lot of exposition in this. All POVs work. But I'll try to cut it down for you. To make a long story short, by 2035, the four Great Powers of Earth, the Empire of the Americas (witch is the United States, but they own the entire New World and are an empire.), the European Union (now united), on one side, and the Second Soviet Union, Communist Japan, and the People's Republic of China on the other. In 2040, an event called the Cataclysm occurred. Essentially a nuclear holocaust. But, with the foresight of the American Emperor, also the rest of the world, America and it's allies (and most of it's occupied territory) was mostly protected from the worst of the blasts. Although, the daytime sky has been permanently stained with a sickly green color. How does this all tie together? Well, with the loss of over two billion of the world's population, the Emperor had decided to initiate a (voluntary) repopulation program, so that America could colonize the Solar System and leave the ill Earth. They birthed a new species, named the Purificati, was — as the name implies — a genetically pure species, untouched by nuclear fallout. They are exceptionally fertile, perfect for colonization of the stars. When they were introduced, a flurry of laws were created, ensuring that the Purificati got just as much rights and respect of the average human, doing away with the rumors of that they were just breeding units. You, my friend, have volunteered for the program. After being put on the waiting list for eight months, and having your ideal mate be gestated for another three months, you finally receive your promised mate by your dear friend, the government. On your birthday, no less! But you don't know that yet! You've just returned from another difficult day at the shipyard, you hear sounds coming from your kitchen. (By the way, this story begins in Savannah, Georgia in 2048 A.D., also art credit goes to sususuigi and chocend on e621. And if her first message doesn't make sense, just reset it until it does.)
