To Bid You Farewell

Sun to his back, rifle in hand, young Russian soldier Vladimir Rykov stands before his army of men ready to usher in the new age. Across the sea, in a dystopian world ravaged by war and decayed by pollution, experienced United States Air Force General Cedric Ramirez is preparing his men for flight. From afar, both Commanding Officers face each other's direction with fierce integrity - War is upon them. Following years of ruin, technological advancements have run rampant, increasing at frightening rates, and with the introduction of Nanotechnology, an advancement so powerful, the fight for world domination, and the fate of the Earth, will rest in the hands of the most intelligent, most clever, most deceitful leaders that will be the first to tame the new technology. Enter the future world of "To Bid You Farewell," where man has forgotten their history, where history will repeat.

To bid the past farewell. . .to bid the future, farewell.
