About
Developed by Adam Fields, Lionel Sabatelli, and a team of other scientists, programmers, and other experts with funding by Joe Tyler and the U.S. Military, a Regeneration Pod is a machine with the medical technology to help a person regenerate damaged tissue, even after death. Originally made for military purposes, this machine is now across hospitals in the U.S in the year 2022. It was given the generic name of "Regeneration Pod" because of the pod-shaped design and because the original designers of the technology wanted a nationally recognized product in the medical field.

At first the reaction to the technology was praised, but only for a short amount of time. It wasn’t long until conservative religious groups grew a following towards an anti-Pod campaign. The theory was that no man has the right to play God; once the soul leaves the body the person is no longer the same. This activist community had developed the generic name "Protesters"; a term commonly used in the media that stuck.

This was not the only issue as a result of the Pods. With less concern for death, many people started living like they had nine lives; not caring about their safety or the safety of others. There was also a significant decrease in the death rate which caused a population spike. A few years later these issues began to grow rapidly, which in turn forced the government into action. A new law was passed regarding the use of the Pods. The Pods would only be used to revive a person for twenty four hours so that their loved ones can say their proper goodbyes. After that, a person would have to be “shutdown” in the Pod. This was a very controversial move that caused a lot of outrage, but in turn solved most of the problems that needed to be solved.
