A Homestuck fanwork by a4345473
yet to be published on MSPFA, detailing the first Sburb session to ever take place in the history of the world, as well as Sburb’s history and creation.
Project HOMESTUCK, also known as REDMILES, began on the 13th of April, 1951. Project Medium aimed to test out the viability of a universe-creating game to counter various doomsday scenarios. Conducted in the top-secret Facility 413, which was disguised as a warehouse and edited off all maps.
REDMILES was led by Army general Dick Freaky and then-director of the CIA, Joel Egbert (known predecessor of John Egbert), and carried out in conjunction with a private research company known as Skaia Labs/Skaianet, holding them responsible for the development of Sburb’s mechanics and code, as well as with financial support by Crockercorp, a food company. The reason for Crockercorp’s involvement continues to remain unknown, however.
The creation of Project HOMESTUCK/REDMILES launched the world into a race to develop the most effective solution to avert the end of the world, leading to countless other world governments starting similar projects, many of which were unsuccessful. The most well known of said copycat Sburbs is Games Suburb Frog Breeding Sim Funny Cute Kids Adults Trolls Gift Toy, which was developed in the Soviet Union, of all places.
Test subjects for the Sburb prototype were sourced through Operation Suburb, and consisted of children and teenagers ranging from 13 to 16 years of age. All test subjects were obtained through a false advertisement for a nonexistent boarding school. Subjects were made to play a prototype Sburb, try out various Sburb Devices, and fight underlings. Once experimentation commenced, said subjects became trapped in the Medium for all eternity, a fate that was no surprise to those carrying out the experiment. None of the players managed to reach God Tier.
Sburb, in truth, was never truly created through REDMILES. In fact, every era of humanity is destined to create Sburb at least once before allowing it to fade into obscurity after the start of a session.p, with the reason for this still remaining unknown up to this day. In fact, the will of Skaia - the entity, not the private research company - existed far before Sburb ever did.
