Articles - Prospector

12 years ago, the largest EMP in history destroyed every electronic and mechanical device on earth. Mankind had become too dependant on machines; thus, the larger, more "advanced" countries began to dwindle. Food and supplies were beginning to run out. People turned on each other. The government fell. Millions died. Yet a few, the most resourceful of our kind, carried on. And in the major cities and states, they grouped. They formed guilds and factions, and Scavenged supplies from nearby factories and skyscrapers. It was a dangerous job, not knowing what may lie waiting in the buildings, and before long it became known as "prospecting".
