->I saw a guard, as alone as all the others. What’s happened? I asked him. [[HeroicBSOD He was confused, shaking his head]]. He would not look at me. Something’s happened, he said. Something... there was a collapse... nothing works properly... there’s been a... a breakdown...

->During the first million years of its existence, mankind survived five apocalypses without succumbing to extinction. It endured the Apocalypse of Steel, the Apocalypse of Hydrogen, the Apocalypse of Serotonin, both Apocalypses of Water, the second of which occurred despite certain contracts to the contrary. Mankind also survived the Apocalypse of Grease, which wasn't a true apocalypse, although it wiped out nearly half of humanity by clogging the gears that ran the densely packed [[UnderwaterCity underwater cities]] of Lor, [[NoodleIncident but that's a tale for another time]].
