The Mean Meme Gang
Anti-ANN! Techno-ironic! Robo-iconic! We mean to MEME, trolling Omegacity citizens for kicks and licks. These people escaped or were turned out of Omegacity for being TOO EXTREME. They’re a gang of terrorists that have taken the creed of the old rebellion patriots who believed that ANN could not control them, and if they could find a way, they would take everything she and Alphacity try to keep from them. This is a bastardized version of what the rebels stood for, but it suits these manic weirdos credo perfectly. They live in the abandoned subway tunnels of Old New York, down where ANN had no tech, no cameras, no signals, no web, she had nothing to get to them and every time she tried, they’d destroy it immediately.
This gang of inbred assholes rarely gets new members in it’s ranks, because they usually kill people who make it down there, suspicious they could be working for the AI, but with the recent burnouts from immigration, their kind of beliefs and lifestyle have been appealing to many, they are gaining a small village of loyal followers. The terrorist activity has increased too. They have publicly taken credit for destroying communication installations in both the Elbow and the Founder side of Omegacity, and more recently using bioweapons on a food market in the lower Eastside that turned all of the two hundred shoppers into raving lunatics who proceeded to try to kill and fuck every other person there. Founder authorities didn’t know what to do with the sudden influx of negative drain on society and having no place to put these poor humans, turned them out into the wild. Only to find out a week later the effects were temporary. All attempts to find the victims have failed. The terrorists claim they were trying to show us that society isn’t able to support itself without ANN and we have become a bunch of weak little babies who don’t know shit about shit. They are probably right.
The gang looks like punkrock and old internet memes. They are the NEW millennials, obsessed with a culture a thousand years old. Their rockin awesome vests are covered in fidget spinners and pictures of cats. They wear their hair in a bun on top of their head, grow long gnarly beards, and speak in emojimillenial. Lately the gang has started making late night runs into the city, killing any unlucky robots and heavily modded humans to stumble down the wrong alley, then breaking out their top-notch k-pop dance moves for the onlookers. I think they might get signed if this keeps up.
The MMG makes and sells a weird drug that blocks betawaves forcing you to stay in the moment. The drugs induce a heady trip where you realize that everything in existence is meaningless and feel like you are falling forever into a black hole. It’s the farthest you can get away from this world without leaving it permanently. People on this drug look like they are constantly posing for a picture taken from above.
Modded humans and bots aren’t safe, these people have a message for mankind and it’s getting louder.
