Merry Christmas!
November 1st, 2185
An alien ship orbited Earth and sent a radio signal to the One World government, primarily ran by international corporate oligarchs, translated as:
"People of Earth, we offer a life-changing technology so that you may evolve as a post-scarcity civilization, and we offer this with no strings attached ..."
"How can we be certain of this?" asked the leader of the (GFCT) Global First Contact Team.
The aliens demonstrated their abilities while giving a tour of their mothership, and after much investigation, proved their benign intentions satisfactorily to GFCT scientists.
December 2nd, 2185
The aliens sent a follow-up signal:
"People of Earth, we ask for your help. To mass-produce the replication technology, we require resources and factories on your planet. We need the assistance of your top tech and industrial leaders. Please let us meet with your CEOs, executives, and any decision making stakeholders."
December 12th, 2185
C-levels, consultants, investors, millionaires, and billionaires all convened in a spaceship to discuss the replicators' manufacturing and distribution with an alien ambassador.
A chosen One Earth lawyer, also a master translator who learned the alien language, spoke:
"Instead of bringing these replicators to the masses, we suggest that you give us exclusive access to the blueprints, thereby limiting the possibility of people replicating harmful products because human nature tends toward violence and self-destruction."
The alien ambassador jettisoned the conference chamber—"This happens every time."
The convention invitees gasped, grabbed their seats, cried, and shouted while the chamber spun around in space.
"What do you mean that this happens?" asked the lawyer.
"We don't actually require your help. We encounter you greedy types on every populated planet, and you always attempt to persuade us to give you exclusive rights—mistrusting your own people. We now use this method to identify you. You don't care to realize that you've created the greed, the hunger, and the desire for more, contributing to a growing debt, which perpetuates poverty and violence by controlling distribution, supplies, workforces, and demand. Suggestion denied."

The alien ambassador disappeared as a hologram, and the separated conference chamber propelled into deep space—to an unknown destination.
December 25th, 2185
The aliens sent another signal, translated as:
"People of Earth. Here are the blueprints. Build one replicator and use it to create another and another. You'll find that there'll be no envy, greed, selfishness, crime, poverty, or hopelessness, with everyone having plenty. Once you accomplish this, you can join our galactic neighborhood in peace. In the spirit of one of your sacred traditions, Merry Christmas!"

Chosen Chaos
30 years have passed since first contact. Earth has now been accepted into the galactic community, is expanding its territory to other planets, and has begun to adopt the myriad advanced technologies found throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. But as the least advanced race in the galaxy, the Earthians are struggling to carve a niche for themselves, made all the more difficult by the fact that they are the only race in the entire galaxy incapable of developing supernatural powers. Until recently. Few know how or why, but small groups of Earthians have begun to display superhuman abilities — and the militaries of the galaxy have begun to display interest in them. Combined with the rise of an evil thought to have been vanquished two decades ago, these superpowered Earthians are forced to choose between the value of their own lives… and the value of the entire galaxy. Part 1: Chosen Few — A mundane visit to the local science museum starts off a series of worrying events for Austin Travis and his friends. They would like nothing more than to continue living their lives as they have, but the universe seems to have other plans… Part 2: Chosen Elite — CSF-1 and the Eximius Vir return to normal military operation and discover a clue to finding powerful ancient technology. However, they aren’t the only ones to discover this clue, and soon find themselves in a race against time to prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands… Part 3: Chosen Hidden — As the summer comes to an end, Pierce Bradley and his friend prepare for their last few days studying abroad on an alien planet. Pierce would like nothing more than to return home and flaunt his new experiences in front of his friends and classmates, but the universe seems to have other plans… Chosen and its three parts begin the Key Saga, a new novel series that takes place 20 years after Rise — which tells the tale of the aforementioned evil. Reading Rise is not a prerequisite for reading Chosen, but it will help to understand the setting and the various conflicts within. Character art on cover by @quassihollic on twitter.

The Empires of AD 70 did things that would be called ruthless by our times. Things that we would consider war crimes were considered honorable. Superstitions that would horrify us today were commonly practiced. Things like child marriage were not just practiced, but for much of the world was expected. If these things bother you, then you know how the main characters in this story will feel.
