What happened to the Humans (not a chapter)

“Well, um, the earth isn’t what it used to be,” he saw this was not a good enough explanation. Sitting upright, he prepared himself for quite a story telling, “A long time ago there was a war. Some called it the ‘GEP (Genetically Engineered Population) war'. It started when scientists began to ‘upgrade’ humans by inserting genes into an embryo to help with certain genetic diseases. Now I don’t know everything about it, but it went from eradicating genetic disease to designing a parent’s perfect baby. If you wanted your kid to be smart, funny, athletic, tall, blonde hair and blue eyes, the works, anything at all; you got it. For a price.
         Of course it was illegal for the longest time, so naturally there was a black market for a while. When it became legal society split in half. Poor people; or, as they were called back then 'financially disadvantaged', couldn’t afford these wonderful upgrades. A lot of religious folk just wouldn’t have it. 'God made us this way for a reason!' they claimed. This caused a lot of people to rally up and those damned equal rights activists just wouldn’t shut up.
“Well, this started up the poor against the powerful. A war that tore the world apart. In a way, it was like a silent death for society as a whole. It wasn't so much that we fought each other out right- although that did happen. We simply seperated ourselves. United we stand, divided we fall. And that's exactly what happened. Our own planets turmoil became our demise. We were so wrapped up in our own arrogant battle that we never saw the end coming.
         Eventually Mars was colonized and became a safe haven for the 'Originals', as they reffered to themselves, to live in peace. Earth seemed to settle down and things were quieted down for a few years after that. Actually, Mars and Earth eventually determined themselves as two seperate planets and species altogether, and thus we had real 'Martians'. And to think all of those old science fiction novels you read think that Earthlings developed from Martians...ha, ha. What a joke.
         Anyway, this would have worked out great had some psycho GEP kid not decided to take a Nuke and fly it straight into the Martian colonies. Destroyed them all. Even I remember that day. Everything was downhill from there on out.
         A series of things happened afterwards that brought the humans to their near extinction. A meteor shower, compliments of mars, defaced all of China and its surrounding countries. Talk about a world wide black out. Most thought that was the end for certain. But it wasn't just yet.
         So, while everyone else is losing all hope for a future on earth, some mad scientist guy is devising a plan that was crazy enough to almost work. Everyone was so sick of fighting for power on earth that when someone came up with the bright idea of just conquering other planets instead, everyone went for it. This is where the GEP's turn into GEC's. Genetically Engineered Cyborgs. The ultimate fighting machines. Humans with strength, skill, smarts and reflexes without the drama of human emotion to get in the way. It was a force to be reckon with.
         Well, other Alien Species far superior to humans got wind of this and decided that humans were too corrupt from their own arrogance and too much of a threat to others to still exist."
         Rave sighed and looked down for a moment, “A few of the good ones escaped; I still remember the look on my mothers face. I think she knew she was going to die. That was the most frightening day of my life.”
         “So the earth isn’t there anymore?” she asked, knowing the answer.
         “No, it’s not,” he said solomnely.
