"You know what? To hell with the Founders. To hell with them telling us what to do." -Lugard Adebayo

The Resistance is an organization oppositional to that of the Security that actively engages in combat in an attempt to contact the outside world and to escape The Ark. Members of the Resistance refer to each other using the moniker "brothers." The Resistance is led by criminal leader Brother Chen. They see themselves as anti-fascists, liberators for freedom and equality, but the Security just sees them as terrorists.

History[]

Mantle

A Resistance leader on the run.

When the Seas began to rise and coastal nations fell into panic, boatloads of refugees fought to find the Ark's secret location mid-ocean - only the lucky ones survived the trek. Initially, they were happy to have survived and gratefully accepted the cramped temporary housing, water rationing and dangerous maintenance jobs. But as the years passed, and conditions worsened, the Ark's new "guests" came to question the status quo.

Conflict with the Security[]

After working under those harsh conditions for so long the refugees began to question the higher powers of the Ark, questioning if they really were attempting to contact the outside world, why the water is rationed, and why their dangerous work goes unappreciated. The Resistance fights for equal water rations for all, and they want to use all the dwindling resources left to attempt to contact the outside world. This rebellious thinking and acting aroused the suspicion of the Security forces, and they began to crackdown on Resistance operations, only feeding the flames of the conflict, putting the Ark on the brink of a civil war.

Resistance Campaign[]

The Resistance, lead by Brother Chen, had a spy in the Founders' Council for several months to gather secret informations. Now he was being called back to hand over these informations at the visitor's center. The Security called for a rescue and was able to get the spy out, but was too late to prevent the Resistance from getting the necessary informations. However, the Security managed to kidnap Nechayev, Chen's right hand. Before his brothers could rescue him, the Resistance's most skilled pilot gave away the location of their plans to the Security. Therefore, after his rescue, the Resistance had to fight off a Security attack and delete their plans before Captain Mokoena could get his hands on them.

After doing so, Chen could finally proceed with his task to leave the Ark. The Resistance shot down a Security helicopter and recovered its navigation computer, but then had to stop Mokoenas forces from stealing their cure for the pandemic spreading around the Guests Homes, Container City (the Security has just referred to it as the annual flu and labelled the cure as a dirty bomb). Following the foiled attack, the Resistance managed to prepare their plane for departure and simultaneously fend off an attempt of the Security to stop Nechajev's flight.

After successfully making contact with the outside world, the Resistance was able to secure the Akoral-prototype to trade with the outsiders. Eventually with the help of a sky they infiltrated the Founders' Tower and detonate explosives in its tip, to serve as a beacon to attract other people.

Objectives[]

  • Defend refugees from Security forces
  • Distribute resources to those in need
  • Establish contact outside the Ark
  • Escape the Ark

Equipment[]

Whereas the Security has uniform-like armor and clothes that appear professionally manufactured, the Resistance's armor is thrown together from old, shabby-looking clothes combined with anything else they can salvage from the scraps. Their weapons are noticeably more worn and rugged compared to the security weapons, which does not appear to change gameplay. Also of note is their tendency to have many elaborate tattoos, to a far greater extent than the Security. All of the Resistance's guns are painted Greens, Reds, Blacks and Yellows, similiar to most of the colours available for their armor and clothes.
