Fractured Factions - The Hello Code

Let's dive into a story about three factions.

Not a prediction.
Not a warning.
Just… a possible future.

You may recognize parts of it.

(Listen, read, or both! 🫶🏽)

✨

The year is 2045.

In a world increasingly divided,
three cultural factions have taken hold,
each with their own vision of the future.

Tensions are at an all-time high.

The Martians 🚀

The Martians believe the key to humanity’s survival lies in the stars.

Colonizing Mars.
Spreading across the galaxy.

They are bold, ambitious, and driven by a thirst for exploration & progress.

Their flagship project, Earth Exodus,
is led by billionaires and backed by media empires.

For decades prior, Musk’s despotic ‘company towns’
paved the way for the Martian faction to thrive.
Stories from Starbase were
painstakingly processed and selectively shared.

Public support continues to grow steadily…
even as the Earth becomes more barren in its wake.

The first wave of Mars colonists?
They’ll be lottery winners.

A few elite families are guaranteed a place.
The rest?
Earn your extra tickets at work.
Level up your body with space-gym training.
Hire a launch coach.

(And yes—the term “launch coach” has taken on a whole new meaning.)

There’s now a trillion-dollar industry
devoted to preparing people… to leave Earth.

The Earthists 🌿

The Earthists, as they call themselves, want none of it.
They believe humanity has lost its way.
That we need to return to the land,
to harmony,
to simplicity.

They’ve reclaimed the places the Martians abandoned.
Dead zones transformed into living gardens.
Burned-out land brought back by hand and by hope.

But after decades of being ignored,
the Earthists have grown…
sharper.
Withdrawn.
Militant.

They preach the gospel of living off the land…
and they violently oppose anyone who believes otherwise.

These ecotage extremists want to go back in time.
And they’re willing to use any means necessary to get there.

The Prismatics 🌈

The third faction is harder to name.
We’ll call them the Prismatics.

They don’t claim to have the answer.
They believe answers lie in the in-between.
But they’re not exactly neutral — the Primatics aren’t beige.

They speak in spectrums,
in nuance,
in kaleidoscope thinking.
They believe things have become too black and white:
too divided, too rigid, too either/or.

They aren’t trying to escape the planet or restore the past.
They’re trying to dissolve the hold that binaries have on us.

Their movement has been growing, especially among the disillusioned:
Burned-out Martians,
Former Earthists fed up with the violence.
People on the fringes caught in the crossfire.

The Prismatics are hard to define…And that’s kinda the point.
