Futuristic Dystopia with some fantasy

I'm posting this so it doesn't slip my mind tomorrow/to see if people actually like the idea.

Good, you made it. I was hoping you wouldn't get lost.

You may be wondering why I called you here, and believe me, we'll get there. But first, I need you to look around you. On your way here, what did you notice? Everything was normal, wasn't it?

Well, I guess a dying world with only a few years left on it's clock is considered normal nowadays. In cities, it not so noticeable. Little to no squirrels or pigeons, maybe some sickly trees, but that's it. It's pretty noticeable, however, in rural areas.

Now, you've heard of the Spireheart, correct? The large, obsidian obelisk with glowing etchings up in the North Pole? And you already know that some people are granted power over the elements because of it. They're all over the news. Anyways, back to the dying world thing, as I can see the confusion on your face.

The Spireheart, also called the Tower of God by some, and the Devil's Thorn by others, is the cause of the dying world thing. You see, it is connected to tubes that spread out from it, and spread throughout the planet's mantle. From there, the pipes and tubes absorb energy from both the core and crust. That means nutrients, thermal energy, anything. Not everyone knows this, but we do. Sadly, we don't know why it's absorbing our planet's energy, but we do know one thing:

The Spireheart, and the powers it grants, are not of human origin.

You may be thinking "Well, if it's so bad, then why do the governments of the world keep it up?" For that question, I have two answers. The first is that this thing is pretty damn sturdy. No attempts have been made to harm it, but we can tell that it's freaking solid. Second, it's under the protection of a company that has more power than any world leader, Signet Inc. These guys have the world leaders by the balls, but just appear to be another power and lights company. Which, seeing as the Spireheart is basically a big energy conduit, is pretty believable. But, through some recon and investigation, it's obvious that they are conducting research on the thing. Bad research. They've taken test subjects, mutilated them, to find out what makes their elemental abilities tick. Most of the test subjects were operatives of our group.

Okay, I can see your impatient. Let me cut to the chase. I am Theodore Morvis. I am an agent of The Vircid, an underground network whose goal is to remove Signet Inc from the equation and deactivate or destroy the Spireheart. Among us are normal humans with amazing skills, people gifted with elemental abilities, and some a mix of the two. You fall into one of those categories, and that means we need you. We have to take out the Spireheart before Earth crumbles away, and time is definitely not on our side.

So, you in?

Seeing as the main protagonist force in this RP is a network, the more characters the merrier! Any ideas or suggestions would be great as well. This is my first RP here, and I want to know if it's up to par.
