Red Faction Intro:
Mars... I always thought of it as a romantic place, a planet of mystery and adventure.
I came here 6 months ago thinking it would be an escape from earth.
I wanted some time to think, to figure out what to do with my life.
A year in the Ultor mines seemed like a great way to straiten myself out... man was I a fool.
Life in the mines is hell. I haven't had a minute to myself since I got here.
You’re jammed 8 to a room; time sharing your bunks... conditions are barley livable.
And the guards are everywhere. Ultor doesn't care if we live or die.
We’re at the breaking point.
And then there's the plague killing off miners left and right.
When the man next to you dies before your eyes and your turn can come any minute.... it freaks you out.
No one knows where it came from or how to cure it.... or at least the miners don’t know.
Someone named EOS is putting up pamphlets in the barracks, claiming that Ultors' responsible for the plague.
The pamphlets urge minors to be ready for a revolt against Ultor.
A lot of miners are muttering, but nothing's come of it yet.
As bad as things are in the barracks, they're brutal down in the mines.
You spend 10 hours drenched in your own sweat in the envirosuit, grinding away at rock walls.
The guards make sure you work the whole shift... they enjoy their work way too much.
You get out of the driller after your shift is over and all you've done is dig yourself in a little deeper...
I don't know how long I can keep doing this...

A fan club for AFI which provides exclusive privleges for diehard fans, a "way for us to give back to the band" (quote Davey Havok) and it, overall, very much worth the 30 bucks. Abbreviation: DF

refers to:
(1) Actual scientific discoveries or inventions that are so hard to believe as to be commonly mistaken for science fiction.
(2) A speculative technological discovery or invention specifically referred to in past science fiction writing that has since become true.

Apparently an invisibility cloak has become science faction as military scientists have discovered a reflective material that can bend light around a subject making the subject effectively invisible.

When the Bolsheviks took over Russia in 1917, they eventually spread across the world to promote their concept of paradise. How they were treated varied from country to country. While some welcomed them, others forced them into a entity of legal discourse. In England, they were not tolerated at all. Any group outside of Labour and Tory was marginalized as much as possible. The political groups thus marginalized away from any real power became known as factions. A Red Factioner is someone from England who is in support of Marxist principles of governance.
