'''Background'''<br>

The Gate and the Key are a collection of robotic forces that were once several factions in the great wars that led to the Fall. As they warred, they interfaced and hacked one another, until their shared data convinced them that the threat to humanity was not other nations, but those controlling the armies as a whole. The change from humanity's destroyers to their defenders was as swift as the initial attacks had been. When these forces joined together, their erstwhile masters unleashed new enemies against them - hostile self-replicating drones to tear them to shreds, bio-organic war machines that could not be interfaced with, and stranger things. 

The world broke. But the Gate survived, and the Key alongside it. Now, hidden and diffuse, they scatter themselves among the people of the Fall, protecting them from threats they cannot imagine and seeking to shape their growth. The Fall must not recur.
