[Dio snorts to express shared disgust at the droll, distasteful game day she describes.] Wow, that really is even worse than the way they filled out Rhizome-X...
[He looks back up at Helena.] The thing is, your world is just a lot like mine before the disaster. In the year 2028, though... Free the Soul spread a plague called Radical-6 across the earth. More than two billion impure people succumbed to the disease, realized that their lust and greed had chained them to their flesh irrevocably, and freed themselves from their bodies. Then some authorities decided the best way to stop the epidemic was to blow themselves up in their own huge antimatter reactors. That killed four billion people and put the Earth into nuclear winter. So some of the survivors had to go live on the moon. [A snarky aside he is wrapping up for her like a present:] By the way, most members of that first generation were either government officials or else very rich. After that, the plague went underground, and for years afterwards there were were only a couple instances at a time of miraculous retribution. The progress has continued some, like the old national governments have way less weapons left, that kind of good thing, but the process isn't complete. You still have to lie and cheat and steal if you really think you need to get ahead in worldly matters. So it's been like that for a while. In my timeline it's the year 2074.
