Earth still breathed, even if it was a strangled cry, she breathed.

Like centuries before, the beautiful cities of the modern world hid their dark hearts and filthy secrets in the underworlds, the slums and ghettos.

Slum and Ghetto can be easily confused.

In history Soho was one of the neo-Industrial Revolution slums in England famed for being the dirtiest little hellhole in the land.

Centuries later...

So named after the original, the Soho slums of California were under a constant heavy brown, toxic fog of decades of pollution, decades of waste and decades of sorrows.

Criminals and mutants were like mangled rats scurrying into the pitch black alleys which stood between the atmosphere scrapping buildings like gaping mouths swallowing light smothering it and never letting go.

Within the squalid chaos of the Soho slums there existed a perverse order.

Soho was mainly the huddling hoards of impoverished human population; the mutants burnt and disfigured by radioactive garbage so often dumped into Soho and the now defunct and out numbered clone replicants.

The clone replicants were the pathetic offspring of science that attempted to resurrect dead people and replacing most bodily organs with mechanical appendages. Half-cyborgial, half-humanoid creatures that were nothing but lobotomized drones. Vaguely remembering the past they went mad and dangerous so they were abandoned like outdated toys and left to wander in a small disgusting alley in the Soho slums known to the humans as...

Pixel Ghetto.
