Chap. 3. THE CALL (District K001 - 07:45 am. - Under Legacy city)
Jan 22, 2023
Level two alarms had gone off, echoing insistently within the master pod. Meanwhile, an employee ran to notify a commander, who in turn called the best technician they had, to solve the unusual situation.
-Fox, go to the command bridge. Some sensors of the tubular elevator that have been affected by magnetic interference have to be regulated. You will have an extraordinary temporary permission to access the perimeter, hurry up! - Urgently ordered that voice on the other end of the phone.
The high command nervously wrung their hands and it was not for less, it was the first time that the security system alarms had gone off. That capsule, which looked more like an armored steel armored room, was equipped with all known high-security measures. It was accessed through the fingerprint, and other ultra-secret keys that only a very small group of people knew. It was an oval space, with the walls literally lined with television screens, connected to satellites, radios, computers and data processors, protected in turn by global anti-hacker systems.
All that information contained the force to bring down the government, to subdue very influential people, or even to establish peace in a community, or on the contrary to break out a war.The images followed one after the other on those plasma panels, constantly observed by those who had in their hands the ability to make or break the designs of a country and even of humanity at their discretion.
All that was what was behind that forbidden door, and of course, the elevator that linked the underworld with the outside.
Liam Fox was alert to everything that was happening around him, trying to remain calm, as he was aware that the success or failure of the detailed plan drawn up with his teacher depended solely on whether he managed to escape abroad. If he made any mistake, he would throw away the mission and the legacy he had been given.
-Right away, -he answered the phone and continued, -I'll need Vega Polanski for this job. The risk level is too high without the supervision of the doctor.
-Okay, someone tell Dr. Polanski right away!- he thundered looking at one of his subordinates.
Vega Polanski was a pretty redhead, quite young for an established scientist, as she had just turned 34. However she was the best in her category. Her personality, perhaps too curious since she was a child, almost always ended with the patience of her teacher, whom she constantly sewed with questions. Her eyes of an amazing golden color like wolves, conveyed a dreamy look.
She and Liam grew up together in the K020 district, the oldest suburb of the vast cosmopolis, originally a bleak and cold bunker where survivors of the Apocalypse took refuge.That was a long time ago, a century to be exact. Liam and Vega were the grandchildren of the great-great-grandparents, those who escaped the terrible end. But ten generations had passed since then, and in the meantime, the bunker was relegated to the status of an old town. A run-down area left behind, which now consisted of a marginal suburb of the mighty metropolis of Under Legacy.
There was only one viable access that communicated with the outside of the city, because the other one that had been located in the old district had been sealed for a long time. So the tubular elevator located inside the master capsule was the only access door to the planet's surface. The same one that now had some damaged sensors, and they had to be repaired urgently.
-Wow, how fast you came! -Liam exclaimed relieved, because his sister always managed to calm his spirit. -Let's go inside and pray that the plan turns out as agreed- he said, leaning close to her ear, worried if there was someone nearby who could hear him.
Once inside, they headed towards the elevator, with the intention of escaping through it, but hidden in the shadows were three androids that advanced towards them, pointing their atomic weapons at them. Liam Fox and Vega Polanski stopped before them, raising their hands in an unmistakable gesture of submission.
-Take one more step, and you will be annihilated by order of President Akuma Gesher.
Under Legacy is a fantasy world, or maybe it's the future.
After the Apocalypse, only some of the ancient human settlers managed to transcend to the city of Kybalion in the fifth dimension. The rest fled to an underground bunker. Today, that bunker is just an old district of the great cosmopolis that Under Legacy city represents.
Now, 300 years later, the power plays of the underground city of Under Legacy once again endanger an Earth that is already recovered after the Apocalypse.
Liam and Vega are on a mission, embarking on a journey filled with challenges, secret keys, hidden enigmas, and time jumps to unlikely places.
They must reach Kybalion because the sacred city possesses what Under Legacy city lacks; an enormous development of psychic abilities. They need them if they want to prevent the devastation of the planet a second time.
