The Six Playlists/Albums of Innate Trigger
Their States our Cities : This playlist/album describes the dystopian reality of the Grids and the megacities. It portrays the living conditions in these city-prisons and the methods used to enforce the overlords’ rule. When the residents of the megacities realized that the security promised by the overlords—and the so-called new way of life—was nothing more than a global imprisonment plan designed to make them work and produce for the benefit of their rulers, they were left with only one choice: resistance.
This playlist/album also narrates the birth of armed resistance movements in every megacity and every Grid.
In War : This playlist/album depicts the street battles within the megacities and the various forms of conflict between the resistance fighters and the overlords’ army across the Grids.Beyond the moments of battle, it also delves into the strategies of the resistance, their organizational maneuvers, and the countermeasures employed by the overlords to suppress the uprising.
Moments and Thoughts : Dedicated to the personal experiences and inner lives of both ordinary citizens and members of the organized armed resistance, this playlist/album explores human relationships and emotions as they unfold within the harsh dystopian reality of the Grids.
The AfterdARK : No one remembers their voices. No one can trace their signal. Some nights, they broadcast from a frequency that neither the cyberpunk rebels nor the rulers themselves can locate. Despite the efforts of Mecha scouts, drones, and patrols, their presence remains a mystery. The overlords fear them and seek to eradicate them. Yet, when they transmit, they reveal vital information to the insurgents—facts and events that must never be forgotten. They speak of myths, beliefs, and lost memories of the past. They remind those who listen that reality is not solely defined by the material world. They discuss the spiritual realm, unseen energies that surround us, and those who have been lost. In the tunnels and ruins of the Grid cities, cyberpunk rebels sometimes stumble upon graffiti—messages left behind by those who refuse to be silenced. A symbol marks their presence. They are The AfterdARK Project.
This playlist weaves a gripping narrative, chronicling the rise and fall of societies, the birth of legends, and the eternal struggle between hope and despair.
The Wastelands : Between the eight Grids that encompass the 25 megacities lie the vast wastelands—desolate regions that, before the overlords’ plan was enacted, were once home to much of the planet’s population. With the establishment of the Grids, people were forcibly relocated into the megacities, leaving the former countries abandoned and the lands barren. Yet, not everyone accepted their fate. Some chose to remain outside the Grids, surviving in scattered communities and makeshift settlements. Others became nomads, wandering through the remnants of the old world, scavenging from the ruins of forgotten cities.
This playlist/album tells the stories of the wastelands through the adventures of Zero and the individuals he encounters on his journey.
Narrative Junctions : The Narrative Junctions playlist/album serves as a bridge, connecting various events and moments from the other Innate Trigger playlists/albums. Each track is accompanied by a story that links elements from different parts of the Innate Trigger narrative, revealing hidden connections and expanding the lore.
This playlist/album will continue to evolve, updated whenever a new track ties into an existing one from another playlist/album.
