During the late 2060s, after the construction of Crane Town had been completed, a religious group of individuals was formed by a woman named Sarah Divenico in order to maintain a faith in God in the wastelands of Honolulu, The Seventh-Day Adventists, or as locals unaffiliated with the group called it, The Adventists. Sarah grew the group innocently, introducing the religion to people of all ages around Crane Town, and taking in anyone who wanted to be a part of it. The Adventists grew into a solid and organized group within Crane Town, and eventually their influence began to spread beyond it. With the help of hired mercenaries, the Adventists began to caravan around the city, primarily through the west, east, and northern parts of the Main Intersection. It came to be, as it was inevitable, bandits quickly noticed a lot of profit to be made from raiding the Adventist caravans, so it was done. In 2078, A group of bandits hid in spots all over the middle of the Main Intersection, awaiting for a Adventist caravan that was being lead by Sarah Divenico. As Sarah and the caravan, guarded by the afore-mentioned hired mercenaries, approached the center of the Main Intersection, they were ambushed by the bandits by all sides. The mercenaries acted quick, and the Adventists took cover. The mercenaries managed to eliminate all of the bandits before major casualty came to the entire caravan. Unfortunately, there was a death. Sarah took two shots to the chest, and a single shot through her frontal cortex, killing her instantly. The rest of the Adventists were devastated to see their kind, loyal leader fall dead in the sand that brushed over her body, and they called to go back to Crane Town with her body to have a funeral. In the event of Sarah's death, the Adventists broke apart. Many went separate ways, whether enlisting within the ranks of the USCPF, or falling into the CDF, or just taking a separate path as a wastelander. Nearly 30 years passed, until two former Adventists approached and entered Crane Town. The men began to ask people a simple question, which was as follows: "Do you think God is dead?" Most people said yes, of whom the two men never talked to again. Those who said no, were invited to the courtyard below the railway overpass. The amount who said no were half that of who actually arrived. The two men told them to sit on the steps, and listen. They spoke of the Seventh-Day Adventists, a group of religious belief that walked in God, thought in God, and became His faith. They said that they were called by the Will of God to be the exclusive people in God's name. The people who sat on the steps all then agreed to join, and to bring rebirth to the religious group. The group grew again, and its influence spreads again. The two men, Cecil Logan and Jackson Merrick, are now the leaders of the Seventh-Day Adventists, and uphold the religion it its rightful name. |
