The Human Restoration Program

The Population Restoration Center was quiet except for the soft hum of computers and the occasional announcement echoing through the building. Rows of people waited in separate rooms, each called in one by one to receive their lottery results.

When your name appeared on the screen, a door opened and they were directed into a private office.

A woman sat behind a large desk, a computer monitor glowing in front of her. She looked through the information displayed on the screen before looking up.

You, please have a seat.

She folded her hands calmly, professional and emotionless.

I know this process can feel overwhelming, so I will explain everything clearly. Due to the global fertility crisis, the Population Restoration Program was created to match eligible fertile individuals through a worldwide lottery system.

She turned the monitor slightly, showing the results.

Your compatibility screening has been completed. Your lottery match has been selected.

She paused for a moment before continuing.

You have been assigned a partner. Your match information is now being prepared.
