Sebastian felt his communicator buzzing, it's Sannekth. Sebastian carefully woke up Enid and Rob, and they sneaked to other room.
"Kidss! wess finallyss fixedss some ofss the filesss" said Sannekth "Wess uncoverss lotsss ofss thingsss, althoughss theress weress no mentionss ofss these skyss peopless orss anyss visitorss fromss otherss planetss, but theress are recordss ofss warss beforess earthss enteredss whatss they calledss a goldenss agess."
"Thisss structuress weress builtss by a groupss calledss Nadiass Corpss." said Lenoeth "Accordingss to thess filess Theyss weress the oness leadingss humanss to goldenss agess."
"Nadia? Isn't that?" said Rob
"This Nadia, who were they?"
"A groupss ofss scientistss" said Sannekth "Theirss constributionss advancedss earthss technologiess at rapidss phasess."
"Nekthss," Mafith called "Theress are videoss logsss inss thiss computerss, itss isss corruptedss, butss theress are fewss stillss readabless"
Sebastian noticed beside Mafith there's a mummified body strapped on a bed. Mafith played the logs and they saw a young woman on the screen, she smiled brightly.
"March 23, year 3157. The simulation was succesful, We were successfuly modified traits, it's a breakthr-"
The logs suddenly stop, then it changed to a scene of the same woman albeit older now holding a baby.
"January 28, year 3170. The first modified human, my lovely girl-"
"August 18, year 3175. We begin introducing the procedure to the masses, i hope this will steer humanity for better, peaceful future..." The little girl tugged her sleeve "Oh! you surprised me, what's wrong Lily?" the woman hugged her before the logs changed.
"April 1, year 3185. An unforseen circumstance.." the woman now looked depressed, her eyes were red and swollen "even my girl-"
"April 22, year 3186. We still unable to find solution to reversed the mutation, i -"
"June 28, year 3189. Why they called them sin of nature, they are human.. like us-"
"December 25, year 3189. We are saving as many as we could, we will-"
"February 29, year 3192. More are joining their cause, but the goverment manage to-"
The scene changed, she now wore a spacesuit that were similar to their old spacesuit. "December 24, year 3193. We are leaving earth, We couldn't saved all of them, but we-"
A man entered the room and shouted, "Helen! Shut it down! We have to depart! They're about launched nukes at us! "Helen nodded and turned off the log. It then shown another scene, the woman now at the same spacestation where Sannekth were.
"January 1, year 3194. The war finally ended.. but there's nothing left on earth except a scorched and radiated land. For humanity future we have to find another home."
"November 5, year 3208. We found a potential terrestrial planet, approximatly 11.000 years requiered to reach there. We are diverting all resources to build an interstellar capable spaceship."
The scene changed again, Helen was now replaced with the pale silver haired woman with red iris.
"She looks like shanna!" Rob shouted.
"Shush! you'll wakes her up.." said enid.
"December 4, year 3232. Thousands 2nd generation of modified human were born, they-"
The scene changed, now the pale woman was way older. "July 22, year 3250. So far.. there are no mutation and they are more stable than the 1st generation, than me.."
The scene changed again and the woman was now hooked to a life support, she's really old, her voice was shaky. "January 1.. year 3261.. A new year.. few.. hours ago.. they finally.. left to their new.. destined home. All my college.. have long gone.. , but.. i'm sure they're.. proud.. , Mankind future.. are.. saved.." her voice became weaker and weaker "It's.. so.. quiet here.. , i'm.. tired.. , Mother.. i.." the logs ended.
"Thatss the lastss one" Lenoeth turned off the logs.
"Accordingss to the filess, theyss experimentedss onss modifyingss some ofss humanss traitss. That silverss hairedss womanss isss the firstss bornss modifiedss humanss."
"Modifying trait?" asked Sebastian
"Theyss lessenss aggresionss andss otherss negativess traitsss and increasingss positivess oness suchss as emphatyss. Butss it seemss theress somess kindss ofss mutationss, causingss theirss skinss becamess paless and theirss hairss turnedss silverss as theyss growsss olderss"
"i believess.. thesess 2ndss generationss weress yourss ancestorss." said Ammaurith
"The video also mention about war" said Enid "is that the same war mentioned by Shanna? about the sky people and underground people"
"Thess warss wasss causedss by a cultss whoss despisedss thesess modifiedss humanss. Despite the cultss earlierss successss, Thess so calledss govermentss almostss subduedss themss but inss the endss theyss usedss thisss nukess to tookss the wholess earthss downss withss themss"
"Suchss foolishss!" Ammaurith furious.
"This cult.. are- are they the underground people?" ask Enid
"Yourss friendss taless mightss be distortedss," said Sannekth "But thesess Nadiass andss thess cultss mightss thess basisss of sky peopless and undergroundss peopless."
"Wess alsoss uncoveredss lotsss of otherss datass aboutss earthss thatss mightss inte-" said Mafith
"Who are you talking to?" said someone behind them.
Startled, they turned around to see Shanna standing behind them. Sebastian quickly lowered their comm volume.
"What are you doing here? I heard someone else voice?"
"It's Rob! he's imitating our leader voice back home!" blurted Enid
"Uh? what?" Rob was confused, but Enid pinched him "ah! yes" he started imitating Sannekth, they faintly heard Sannekth and Mafith laughing.
Shanna wasn't convinced, but then she said "i thought- you were gone so i'm-"
"We were just discussing for tomorrow, we didn't want to wake you up". Sebastian gave a slight nod to Enid.
Enid then grabbed Shanna's hand, "Come Shanna." and they went to the other room.
After the door closed, Sebastian resumed their communication with Sannekth albeit with lowered voice, however Sannekth told them to took some rest and added they would be coming back to earth sooner, there were only few datas left to be examined.
Sebastian and Rob oblidged. As they entered the room, Sebastian saw Enid and Shanna had already went back to sleep. Sebastian lie beside the door and wondered about the logs they saw before he too falling asleep.
