INTRODUCTION

In the "Deep South" there's a group of intellectuals who call themselves the "Deconstructionists." The majority of them reside aside the poor folk just outside of Jackson. A couple others call Alabama their home, the ring leader calls the Mississippi River his home, with all the traveling he does up and down it on a daily basis. They follow one simple philosophy, a philosophy developed by their very own leader, Jacques de Marquis: Deconstructionism.

To quote de Marquis's book, Moving Forward in Reverse, "Deconstructionism is the art of taking apart all that ever was, so that in one ultimate effort to protect the future, we may start again." To summarize, deconstructionism focuses on the idea of taking apart the current society and rebuilding it in an effort to achieve world peace, or some other unearthly goal.

One would think Jacques' philosophy bogus. A philosophy that makes sense, in that it appeals to those who realize that the earth as we know it is headed to hell, mainly at the fault of humanity, but a philosophy that ultimately cannot be put into practice. How can one man, or even a relatively large group of men strip society of all that makes it what it is? How can they remove modern culture? How can they remove all that makes humanity what it has become? It is impossible. Or so I thought...

The Deconstructionists are radicals, but they are seen as maniacal: Loonies who, despite having masters' degrees and even doctorates, are following a philosophy that cannot have an impact on modern society. But they are as far from lunacy as a human being could ever possibly be. They are true geniuses. They have been working, underground, just outside of Jackson, Mississippi, with the desperate, the poor, the homeless as their test subjects. They have technology rivaling that of the United States government's. Possibly technology far superior to that of the government's.

The Deconstructionists have an arsenal of futuristic weapons in this underground system. What they lack in manpower (for they are a group of merely twenty forty to fifty year old men), they make up for in brilliance, resilience, and firepower/advanced technologies.

December 13, 2011 is the day they will be forever remembered. That was when they first struck. It is why we now know of them. It is why they went from sheer nobodies, sheer loonies in the deep south whom no one bothered to take notice of, to men who cannot be labeled "terrorists" for they are far, far worse. They have taken over five continents, despite still focusing their main base in Mississippi.

The only continent left for them to take over is Europe, and slowly but surely Europe is falling apart at their hands. Soon they will have all they ever wanted. Soon they will have control over the world. Literal mind control. Soon they will be able to start again, soon they will be able to manipulate the world to their liking.

But we, the resistance, plan on standing up against them. We will not let their rise to power go unchallenged. Ever since December 14, 2011, the day after "The Grand Tragedy," we have come together, at first solely American men and women, and now, an international group that transcends all genders, races, cultures, etc. that is putting together an effort to resist the subordination intended by the Deconstructionists.

Our main target is Jacques de Marquis, but the nineteen other masterminds behind this brilliant, yet malevolent plan must be captured as well. We must end this before we lose all control. If the Deconstructionists take control... All is lost. The earth will no longer be the earth. Nothing will be as it should. The world will fall to imbalance, and humanity as we've always known it, will cease to exist...
