North gets up slowly, carefully, rolls his shoulders, straightens his back. That fall was rather rough on him, but nothing seems broken, at most he's just a little sore, maybe bruised too. For now he can't exactly tell. The pain doesn’t faze him, yes, there are some physical limitations that come with it, but it’s hardly anywhere near his limits. And it doesn't matter, because his attention is focused immediately on his surroundings-- pain seemingly forgotten to deal with the situation at hand.
His pistol is right next to him, further away is his sniper rifle -- the two things he would rather not go without in an unfamiliar place and in a potentially dangerous situation, even if he could probably deal either way. They must have fallen there as he was falling down. He picks both up, without really looking at them anymore, briefly studying his surroundings already as he straps the pistol to his thigh, flings the rifle over his shoulder.

Red vs Blue is set in the future, the 26th century, when the technology finally allows humans to travel through space and colonize other planets. The developed faster-than-light travel technology considerably shortens the time necessary to get from point A to point B in a different part of the galaxy (however in human hands it’s not a particularly precise technology).
And like in most sci-fi lores, in this case humans also meet other alien races. In this case, a hostile alien alliance of several alien races known as the Covenant.

The species at the highest rank in the Covenant alliance found that information and saw it as a threat to the Covenant itself, so to keep the alliance intact, they instigated the war.

And those AIs, the fragments of Alpha representing its traits, were the ones given to the Freelancers.
5) Ultimately, the AI fragments and the treatment of the Alpha was what got the project shut down and the Director imprisoned.
