The towns are heavily guarded(with at least one surrounding wall) and governed. It was hard to walk five feet without tripping over the shoelaces of a town official. Oh, and they publicly execute. Not a pretty sight, but they do find some inexplicable thrill out of it. A thirst for bloodshed shared by the many. For some reason, they continue to attempt keeping a common currency alive, as if hanging on to small threads of a past life. It is rather tragic. Their antagonistic tones did not keep my pity for them, however.
Positives: Well controlled and streamlined. They took the challenge of preparing themselves for an all-out war, and it appears they've succeeded. The human race has bonded, but over the idea of other humans, rather than direct family and acquaintances. I've yet to see notable, large attacks on any city of theirs, so it could be safe to assume that what they've done has worked.
Concerns: However, in this search of a world to fight against PREs, they've lost quite a bit of their humanity. Though the idea of others helps them fight, the actual beings fill them with terror. There is no trust here, only the quaint whispers in the distance. Perhaps that’s why attacks are so rare. The humans will kill themselves out of fear before the servants even lift a finger. They quarrel, they kill, rumor, fight, demand, and all sorts of other despicable things. All done out of thoughtless panic. Unless the government collects them for "studying" first.
Presence of PREs: While known throughout the world, they do not appear have any direct effect on many of the visible aspects of this world. That being said, they did air a live small attack upon a city on television, but it was almost un-watchable. Not out of disgust, but due to interference. The city, in case you had wondered, is still standing, but it was very obvious what they had been through. As for servants, they can be seen sometimes in the darkness, plotting. They seem intent on doing whatever their masters tell them. You can only ponder what significant resources they want their grubby little hands on.
Whiskey Quality: I can’t say for sure if the bar I was in was worth my time, but I digress. The drink could have been better. The flavor itself was bland and it required much more time before any true taste would illuminate itself. I suppose they were too impatient.
Overall Impressions: “Godot’s” worst aspect is the praise it gets from those within its grasp. They cannot imagine a more perfect existence, but even that doesn't upset me. No, what upsets me most about “Godot” is its path to dystopia. It was not led by the PREs or even their servants. It was designed by man. Built by the poor, funded by the rich, motivated by false security. They gained nothing but veils to hide behind and they worship them like gods. It reminds one how close we truly are to hell. If you have your choice, leave the world that fights for victory against nothing succeed in its fiery passion for pretend justice.
