Circumschism: The Ark and the Journey to Gooch Island

The Alexandria Pod had one final secret.

It told the Dickbutts of The Ark.

Long ago, the greatest minds of humanity, knowing that physical survival was impossible, had uploaded the consciousness and genetic blueprints of the most "worthy" humans into an orbiting satellite. If the Dickbutts so chose, they could download and resurrect humanity on a mythical landmass: Gooch Island.

The news fractured Dickbutt society.

Some, calling themselves The Podoclasts, saw this revelation as a threat. They believed that to resurrect humanity was to undo the great vegetative peace of The One Gooch. They sought to destroy the Alexandria Pod before it could convince any more Dickbutts to follow its plans.

Others, known as The Resurrectionists, saw the return of humanity as their destiny. They believed it was their purpose to restore their ancestors, to bring humans back to Earth, and to create a Magic Eden upon Gooch Island.

Caught between these extremes were The Pluralists, those who saw the Alexandria Pod as both a gift and a curse, a source of knowledge that should neither be blindly worshiped nor destroyed.

And so, The Dickbutts found themselves at war.
