Welcome to the main event! This is a story. A story about a movement. A movement that is changing our world. This grass roots movement begins like most do, with a team. And as the team grows so does the legends. Legends of men made from machines. And others who’ve braved the coldest summers. Stories of the dead rising. And fearless leaders who came out of a cage to thrive and spread the gospel.
