conversations.value: *This is an attempt to create a collaborative fan-fiction set in the world of Syfy's Defiance.*
  ___
  
  
  
  The Pale Wars were not kind to Atlanta. As the home of the world's largest, most extensively used Airport, the city was under constant siege by Votan forces desperate to wrest control of one of humanity's last superior resources. Never-ending bombardment and vicious fighting killed scores, civilian and soldier alike, on both sides.
  
  Of course, that was before Arkfall; before the planes fell out of the sky never to return.
  
  It was before Defiance.
  
  
  Now, we all try our best to make it in what's left of this world. Humans and Votans will never forget the horrors of the War, but they are bound in common purpose nonetheless. Raiders prey on whatever soft targets they can find. Rogue Arktech lures hunters with promises of scrip, and frequently pays them with untreatable and virulent Votan bioweapons. Sometimes, mutant horrors leak out of the Florida quarantine zone.
  
  Like it or not, here in Atlanta, we need each other to survive.
