(directly follows the events of SIM - Termination - around the same time-scale as King For A Day)

Prologue
The scene opens to a humanoid mouse standing beneath a bridge, largely covered by shadow as he watches the rain pour down over the streets surrounding him, his long tail flicking back and forth as he keeps staring out into the rain:

"..I am an evil being.. 

''born to serve a man who I once called father.. the same man I helped to destroy.. ''

''some may of called it self-defence.. ''

others would point out it was Mother Cyclone who delivered the fatal blow yet such things do not matter..

thanks to me and my kind the world as we know it is at war and soon things will only grow worse..

''their is a scent in the air more foul than any sewer or backdrop this planet can throw at us.. ''

the scent of a slow but inevitable extinction..

the human race is coming to an end and soon the question will arise: 

who shall inherit the world in their absence?".
