Promise City is a fictional location in the science fiction television series ''The 4400''. == History == Promise City was founded by Jordan Collier with the guidance of Kyle Baldwin. It is created as a safe haven for people who are promicin-positive (P-positives), and also serves as the base of Collier's movement to spread promicin to the world. Collier intends for Promise City to be a model for the future, and the first stage to creating "Heaven on Earth". Before founding Promise City, Collier had already begun to recruit residents. He had gathered together many P-positives, who had lived together in an isolated small town until they were discovered by Tom Baldwin. Since they were no longer safe from NTAC, the residents were uprooted, and led by Collier to found Promise City. The area claimed by Collier started as just a run-down, highly polluted part of the South side docks of Seattle, WA. A square mile of the city is cordoned off with glowing devices that cause intense pain when approached. NTAC quickly discovers Collier's actions due to a vision by Maia Skouris of their location. Collier announces that he welcomes any P-positives in Promise City, but warns that there will be consequences if the government interferes. He uses film crews to record the benefits his people are doing, like removing pollution from the water. He tries to demonstrate that with combined efforts of P-positives, even formerly undesirable land can once again sustain life. Despite Collier's warnings, the government sends in P-positive soldiers from their enhanced soldier program to try to put an end to Promise City. Their attempt is unsuccessful, and as a result Collier expands the boundaries of Promise City to double its size. The residents remain at odds with the government until the outbreak of the Promicin virus starts killing thousands of people. With all of Seattle in panic and anarchy, Kyle Baldwin offers the government the use of his people (immune to the virus, due to already being P-positive) to restore order. Having no other options, NTAC accepts help from the residents from Promise City, while worrying that they will not relinquish control over the city after the incident. After the outbreak is contained, Collier instead expands the borders of Promise City to now encompass all of Seattle. His proclamation is received by cheers from the residents of Seattle, now largely P-positive themselves, with over 9,000 new people with abilities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Promise City (The 4400)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
