Within a few years, resources below ground were running low. Citizens were selected at random to go to the surface and scavenge for supplies. Radiation poisoning was inevitable for these brave souls, who we called Seekers. Being selected was a death sentence. But those that sacrificed themselves for the greater good were revered as heroes by those of us that remained.

We lived like this for over a decade, until the Seekers unearthed technology we thought had been lost forever. We used it to create RCVs: radio controlled vehicles that we could pilot from our settlements below the surface, gathering resources without risking our lives. As a tribute, we called these pilots Nu Seekers.

Before long, however, resources on the surface began to dry up. Tensions emerged between our underground settlements, and RCVs were weaponized. The Seekers were heroes, but Nu Seekers had become soldiers — in a war that what remained of humanity was fighting against itself.

In a bid to broker peace, a new sport was created. Settlements wager resources in arena combat between RCVs, and the winner takes them all. The stakes are high. But the rewards rank higher still. We named it after the first Seeker. This is KEO.
