What’s This World All About?
Welcome to the future!
If you’ve been cryogenically frozen for the past few centuries, or just stumbled in from a parallel universe, let us catch you up to speed.
WELCOME TO THE POD ® !
WELCOME TO THE POD ® !
It’s a New World.
Remember Mother Earth? Well, no need to panic, she’s still around. She just looks a little different these days. Yes, there are still human beings, but they’ve evolved over the centuries, adapting to an ever-changing environment. Ah, of course: the environment. A topic everyone from the past loved to discuss. Despite the fires, floods, hurricanes, toxic debris, and seismic shifts of epic proportions… nature found her way. That’s the remarkable thing about the natural order - it will always find equilibrium after chaos.
It’s a bit like where you find yourself now: The Pod ®! A safe, sterile, and always air-conditioned habitable sphere, amidst a battlefield of biohazardous waste. There are several The Pods ® across this disjointed landmass, though you would have to cross a treacherous channel, go through a radioactive forest, and traverse the Uncanny Valley to find the second nearest location. That sounds like an awful lot of work, doesn’t it? Instead, why don’t you take two of these, make yourself comfortable, and stay a while?

A retro-futurist Utopia on Earth. It is home to half a million Homo Sapiens. However, the folks ‘round these parts may be a bit different than what you were used to. Here you may encounter Celebrity Cyclopses, High Fashion Extraterrestrials, and Philanthropic Psychopaths who rule the Solar System.

Miss Komodo’s
Tips & Tricks for Surviving The Pod ®
Miss Komodo flaunts her latest cosmetic upgrade: The Cyclops.
Welcome to The Pod ®!
My name is Miss Komodo, and I’ll be getting you acquainted with your new life of tranquility.
But first, let’s shake that cryo-dust off your shoulders.
Pass through inspection. It’s just a quick drop, squat, and cough.
Shower. You’re smelling a little… ripe. As is to be expected after a one thousand year long nap.
Don’t look anyone directly in the eye. It’s best to keep your head down in these initial stages of admission to The Pod ®.
Once you’re clean as a whistle, feel free to peruse the shoppes on Pharmakon Boulevard (level 3)!
If you find an aesthetic procedure that catches your eye(s), consult one of our many qualified physicians.
Once you’ve selected a medical professional, book + design a new face at “The Clinic” ©.
If you need a second opinion on your new facial floorplan, feel free to let me know. I have a great eye…
Schedule your stay at The M. Franken Clinic – it’s right outside The Pod ®. I recommend calling well in advance, this place gets booked up quickly.
Once you’re looking fit as a fiddle, you can re-enter The Pod ® society. It’s best to blend in, but also stand out.
Don’t forget to mix, mingle, and consume all the wonderful products and services on levels 1, 3, 4 & 7.
A view from “The Clinic,” as it’s colloquially known.
Top of the Food Chain
Basic
The Worker Bee: cute and sycophantic.
Intermediate
The Quotidien Psychopath: has many skills, but not trying to kill.
Advanced
The Apex Predator: does not care what you think about them, and will do whatever to get ahead :)
Where will you fit in?
