The Rare Purple Elephant - A much needed backstory

Hi readers!
Ive been incredibly sick since my last post, with lots of uncomfortable effects, which I will spare you the gruesomeness of hearing. So instead, I give you the next chapter of the story!!!! (First im going to describe some things that have changed though, sorry it is so late into the story)

If you didnt already know, it was 2516 AD in this story, and 95% of all animals had gone extinct, the only ones remaining were livestock. The moon, Mars and Venus have all been inhabited, and shortly after those, the majority of earth died, and air became scarce. On the brink of extinction, a scientist invented 'goolium', a creature that converted carbon dioxide into oxygen, with the potency of ten thousand trees, only taking up the space of a football field. Of course, this means that trees had no use, and despite over a decade of protests by most people, the leaders eventually just began calling it 'lumber relocation', but it was just sending all the trees into the lumber mills.
So, as of then, no human had ever actually seen a tree. There were articles online about it (books had all been burned due to their large space capacities; everything was online now), and there were a couple descriptions and memory implants passed down from those who had known what a tree was. Although trees were one of the last non-consumable foods to go extinct, most of the others were just forgotten, apart from some barely-ever-visited wikipedia sites, which STILL happened to be the biggest and (mostly) best online encyclopedia, despite what everybody still argues about it.
The current president, Michael O'Henry, stated that things were 'swell', and one of the two religions remaining (this one consisting of those who remembered life, which was known as Vivianity), versus the other one, Techanity which liked the new ways, and believed that humans deserved to be masters of the universe (as no other extraterrestrials had been discovered yet), and their current goal was to begin colonizing Mercury and Jupiter, despite Venus only being at 25% of possible population (2010's current earth population.)

Now, even without all that, how may they get enough space for food and housing? Well, of course, by now, the scientists had been forced to invent some things. They first figured out how to get solar panels up to ten thousand, six hundred and twelve times their power from 2010, not to mention batteries that had no limit on charge. That covered energy.

Food was grown underground with artificial light, as well as livestock. These were located on sublevels 4, 5, 6 and 7, which covered food. Sublevels 8 and 9 were storage, and sublevel 10 was where the oceans had been drained, 1/6 of it was closed off for fresh water. They couldnt go any deeper, due to too constant erosion.

Housing covered the entire surface of the planet, as well as sublevels 1, 2 and 3, not to mention the three uppersections, which were just basically floating properties, suspended by antigravity machines as large as a medium sized bathroom.
There was no need for roads, as teleporters had been invented soon on, and more housing had just been built there. Theft was basically at 0.8% of 2010 levels, but hacking (mainly of teleporters, internet, and bank accounts) had shot up by 600%

Three "Silos" located over the planet were where spaceships were launched, a three week journey was the average time between colonized planets, which were essentially the same as earth, as oxygen was produced by a couple gooliums here and there.

Back on religion, I would side with the Techanity religion, despite what I would do now (side with Vivianity). Facing the facts, animals were all extinct, apart from livestock, plants were extinct, apart from crops, and their cause was hopeless unless a new planet was colonized just for them. Techianity basically won.

Metal and such were harvested from the asteroid belt, and the approximate measure of humans altogether was 5,280,000,000,000,000. And judging by the amount of under the table operations by the PPU (people and planets united, equivalent of current united nations), they have defensive procedures in case of rebellion or hostile extraterrestrials. Country wars were over, as there was now only one per planet, unimaginably named the Terrans, Martians and Venusians. The population on the moon were considered Terrans.

These planet-nations...

ARGH!! MUST.. SToP... WrITing!!!!!

Urgh...

Hi readers!
last night didn't end well: I was up half of the time coughing and shivering. I think that I didn't put enough blankets on :(.. Thats probably why it hurts quite a bit when I cough, not to mention the shivers.
I certainly learned my lesson on sleeping.. its time to get a sleeping bag, the ultimate warming blanket thing.. Today was a small day at school, nothing due, but I am missing out on one day of rehearsing for the next play, which is all about the final battle of troy, famous for it's trojan horse. I was a soldier guy in the play, but I am the most important person behindstage (the director, yup, thats me :D)... its not going to air for another two weeks, but every day counts. I hope my group was on top of it today..

I should be back on top of things tomorrow, but until then,
bye :)
