The Last Iceberg

I’m Maya Johnson and The Last Iceberg is about the future - yours, not mine.Bet you’re glad we survived Global warming. Not that I’m blaming you or anything. That apocalyptic stuff made us think, I mean, what’s the point of going to war if a mass hurricane could come along any time and stomp us? No, we’re all one big happy family now - the Global State Alliance. I did the Olden Days in history lab. The toons, the Holly musicals - freakin fantastic. You had it made. Did I say? We’ve got everything in Capa. We’ve got our beloved President Matthews. We’ve got the Purity Laws and the Status Quotient and the spanza Troopers and who freakin cares? That was me until the night I saw that kid in a prison transport and discovered what Matthews was really up to. I’m gonna exe him, promise. Trouble is there’s others queuing up to do the honours. That’s what this is about - how we’re all trying to get him. He doesn’t make it easy and I’m not sure how it’s gonna pan out but one thing’s certain.You’re next punk!
