Poryama Part 1

When people say "in the future," they never specify how far into the future they mean. I believe the vagueness is intentional and I know the reason. In the future, technology eventually becomes so advanced that people from your time couldn't even begin to comprehend it. It would rend your mind dull and your senses incapable. Imagine trying to explain color to a house cat, or living your whole life and then finding out you're a cyborg. To shatter perception is no easy feat, and to accept it is wholly unthinkable.

So that leaves us with a timeline. I cannot simply lambaste hordes of folk for not extrapolating on their "future" date and then not give you one. A great many things have taken place between our times; perhaps I should start with the "where."  Earth is a familiar term to you, but the Earth you have touched and dug and grew and defiled and loved to death is only our Earth in essence, spirit, and memory. Our home base, our planet, is Poryama. The history of it is a long retelling for me and will not begin for you for uncountable moments, so allow me to condense things for you. Poryama is, essentially, an artificial planet built on the husk of a dying Earth. 

We've only just touched the basics, but for now, that's enough. I do not wish to keep you in suspense though. Anxiety is bad for your fragile, delicate body. You will come to know more about "the future" in further messages. Your future and my present. To you, just a number. To me, the year 9982.
