In the desolate area once known as South West England, the Hinkley Point C nuclear energy production complex stands as the sanctum and central nexus of the Fraternité Réseau et Atomique Internationale de Ressources et d'Expertise – FRAIRE.
Born from the ashes of a collapsing United Nations structure, FRAIRE emerged as an international division dedicated to a singular, critical purpose: the preservation of mankind's nuclear energy production facilities.
As the dual crisis swept across the planet, fracturing societies and dimming the light of human cognition, FRAIRE took up the monumental task of coordinating the maintenance and operation of nuclear power plants and their complicated fuel cycles.
While countless installations succumbed to disaster in the face of cognitive decay and societal strife, a significant portion of humanity’s nuclear power generation capabilities and fuel reserves were preserved through FRAIRE’s unwavering efforts.
The unrelenting pressures of a world dissolving into chaos, the omnipresent stress, the gnawing hardship and the insidious tendrils of cognitive decline inevitably reshaped FRAIRE.
What began as a pragmatic UN organization morphed, over decades of toil and sacrifice, into a quasi-religious institution – a post-modern cult of the atom. The reactor cores became their altars, the hum of turbines their hymns, the engineering efforts behind nuclear processes their sacred rites.
Today, with far fewer consumers remaining to draw upon the vast energies unleashed by their safeguarded reactors, FRAIRE channels much of this excess production into the creation of synthetic fuels.
These vital energy carriers form the backbone of their commerce, exchanged with hyper-capitalist trading partners for the trade goods, essential spare parts and life-sustaining food supplies necessary to perpetuate their atomic vigil and sustain their unique order in a shattered world.
