An idle humanity that lived much of its life in chosen realities, playing virtual holo-games, watching holo-movies or vacationing in perfectly realistic places, to work a few hours a day, studying for pleasure, communicating with implants... a world that was based on false assumptions was to be erased. Technology was to be rolled back, neural implants were to be banned, and virtual reality was to be brought under absolute control. More human labor was to be used, even if technology made it unnecessary.
When, a week later, the cleanup was finished, Nexus Earth had already created the plan on how to establish a new social system and new laws: the Rita System.
The real war was over, but just as that happened, the media war began. Radios, televisions and cell phones were distributed. The Internet got rid of holographic platforms and stopped being driven from implants and went back to cell phones. Through these media, humanity was able to see the virtual war live, albeit acted out.
The week after the catastrophe, the news of the cause shocked the world: Mars had declared its independence and attacked the Earth. Faced with this, total isolation was decreed and the communication satellites with Nexus Mars were destroyed. In fact, there was an unanswered attack on the Martian satellites.
On television, Internet, press and radio, soldiers were shown destroying viruses, which were depicted in monstrous shapes. The lack of holographic games and the shock of the war, the consequences of which everyone experienced, made these broadcasts and news the focus of everyone's attention. An explanation was offered about the malicious code and the Martian attack, but it was a false explanation. Many people had relatives and friends on Mars, so blaming the Martian colonies was avoided at first.
The official version claimed that those responsible were the intramartian asuras, beings made of ancestral code that had been locked away by the avatar Buddha, the last incarnation of Vishnu. How these evil beings infiltrated the system was revealed in different versions, creating a debate. It was much safer for everything to be believed if people first discussed the details and not the fact.
Some said it was malicious code from the age of wars, while others claimed it was extraterrestrial. However, careful care was taken to use Sanskrit terms such as karma, asuras and rakshasas. Gradually, the story became more important than the cause, and soon the heroic leader who won every battle became known. At first, he was an anonymous individual, but soon he would be revealed as Kalki, the last avatar of Vishnu, destined to open the age of light by destroying the age of darkness.
Between battles, Kalki preached the Vedic Dharma, proposing that only by following this mode of social organization and its rules would humanity be safe again.
Rita was the natural order, the universal harmony with which Dharma aligned us. Thus it was that Nexus Earth, which already called itself simply Nexus, established a model of neo-Hinduism as a social and thought system.
But while that was happening, Nexus had a new problem to take on: a Martian terrorist attack.
