The Year is 2031. It’s been three years since Skynet’s failed time-travel attempt to kill Sarah Connor. During these years, John Connor’s organized force of freedom fighters have been beaten back, and reduced to rag-tag independent squads. Just south of Miami, Skynet has constructed a human replication complex–or Flesh Farm. The computer’s goal, being to breed a new race of mankind. A race that is machine sympathetic. A Florida based pocket of freedom fighters, nicknamed Sarah’s Slammers, has pledged to destroy this complex. With grim determination, but little in the way of firepower, they face this challenge–but it’s clear from the start that this is a hopeless crusade. As determined as they are, they need help. Big-time help.

It was the pull of the steam engine that brought residents to Summers County after the Civil War. With Hinton as a bustling hub of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, Summers County found itself along the path of goods and travelers going to and from Richmond and the Midwest. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery and good mountain air, residents prospered in the county, building beautiful homes and lively communities. Lumber and riverboat traffic also added to the scene, although it was around the C&O that the area's culture truly thrived. Legends such as John Henry, the Steel Drivin' Man who out-drilled a steam drill while digging the Great Bend Tunnel, came to symbolize the grit-and-steel consciousness of this West Virginia county. Life was good, but work was hard. When diesel engines became the norm in the 1950s, Summers County's fabric began to change. Today tourism and recreation are the greatest industries in the area, but residents have not forgotten their past. Each year the county taps into its railroading heritage with festivals and celebrations, and efforts are being made to preserve some of Hinton's unique architecture.
