What we know so far

Posted on: September 21st, 2011 by Mr. Z No Comments

The 21st century earth is divided into continents and countries. Our first country of exploration is the United States of America (USA for short), which is predictably broken down into small, independent governments called states that are united under one set of rules and one government. Each state has its own set of rules. Our current HQ is located in Washington DC which has similar rules, even though it’s not a state. We are still trying to work that one out.
The terrain of the USA is as varied as its climate. Though currently we have year-round heat, in the 21st century this region had periods of warm, cool, hot and very cold weather. Hot weather like ours is only found geographically far south and/or west of Washington, DC in the 21st century.
Clean, drinkable water runs constantly at the push of a button or turn of a knob- not just for hydration and cleanliness but sometimes for pure recreation or aesthetic value.
We have heard that other parts of this vastly populated world have different conditions, but this is where we begin our quest.

In preliminary expeditions, we have found lush green areas planted among otherwise industrial surroundings. Research has revealed that this was known as a “park”, a government-supported area that could not be planted or hunted upon. These parks are often placed in areas of high population. The National Zoo is one of these parks, called a Zoological Park, specifically. Like many institutions of the past that displayed carefully selected objects, the Zoo also holds a collection. However, this collection is different- it’s alive. The Zoo is home to hundreds of strange plants and bizarre creatures that seem to be held in high regard and receive strict protection from outsiders. They are all wildly different and quite unlike the swarming pests that roam our planet today. From our visit to the Zoo, we’ve learned that these are called insects, or bugs.

Before we can begin to learn about the rich culture and social structure of 21st century DC, we need to understand what is called biodiversity. Apparently, when it contains a multitude of living organisms, a region is called bio-diverse to indicate its wide variety of life. Maybe we can improve our water and air quality by taking some of these living organisms back with us.

Go back to the 21st century and complete the “Sifter Society” trek at the National Zoo. Report back here when finished.
