THE STORY

Brink takes place on the Ark. Built in the near-future as part of a contemporary green vision, the Ark was a model for sustainable living. The massive man-made floating city became a home to the scientists and thinkers focused on making the vision a reality, while its wealthy patrons built a recreational paradise. But soon the threat of a global environmental crisis became real: glaciers melted, sea levels rose, and the very survival of humanity was threatened. Thousands from around the globe fled to the Ark as a last hope. Refugees clung to survival however they could, while the original founders and their descendants struggled to maintain the island.

Now, existing in 2045, A whole generation has grown up on the Ark, and while it was originally supposed to house around 5,000 people, it now houses around 50,000. Now, the Ark has lost contact with what remained of the mainland and exists in total isolation. As the Ark's supposedly renewable resources dwindle, the balance of power threatens to unravel and throw competing social factions into a horrific conflict.

With tensions growing, Security and RESISTANCE forces are locked in a heated battle for control of the Ark. Which side will you choose?

RESISTANCEWhen the seas rose 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.

Are the Ark's Founders really doing all they can to re-establish contact with the

outside world? Why are only the Guests on rationed water? If their work keeps

the Ark afloat, why are they second class citizens? The Resistance formed from

those sick and tired of being the Founders' captive workforce; they want equal

water rations for all, and to use the Ark's dwindling resources to reach

whatever's left of the World.

SECURITY

Back when the Ark was a floating five star eco-resort and R&D eco-science park, it

only needed a small corporate Security team to perform risk management and

VIP protection duties. But as the seas rose, and the trickle of refugees to the Ark

became a flood, the Ark needed a police force and then an armed gendarmerie.

Ark Security has now expanded into a heavily armed counter-terrorism force. Most

Security personnel have volunteered because they're convinced that for the Ark

to survive it must have peaceful order and conserve its remaining resources. And

the extra water ration comes in useful too. Resistance provocations have forced

Security to clamp down on Guest unrest, which has lead to the Ark teetering on

the brink of outright revolt.
