Future Past

Chapter 6: Welcome To Your New Home! (0.5)

Blake started to get closer to Derek, while the other tried to keep a distance.

"Look, you were brought here for a reason. Please relax. I won't hurt you, we need you alive, or more to say, the Boss needs you, but first thing first", he got even closer to Drake and the other was not in the mood for games.

"Just get on with it!" an annoyed Derek screamed at the other. You could see how frustrated he was after all the ordeal. 'They even knew my real identity, that's not humanly possible' he thought to himself while the other was walking around him.

"Let me just show it to you and you'll at least learn a part of it" he then took on one of his earrings and, while still half naked, touched the piece of one of his chest tattoo with it.

The room turned pitch black. Then a hologram starts showing. First there were stars all around them, then they zoomed in to form galaxies, the Milky Way, our star system and then the Moon, but it was not any sight you've seen from Earth, it was the dark part of it.

An electric voice started talking, echoing in the empty room where both of them were still standing.

"Welcome new recruit! Welcome To Your New Home! We are The Company, and we need your hand. We are on the brink of a new technological age and we need people to advance on multiple expeditions to the dark side of the Moon, where an archeological team found ancient technologies.Your job is to work in a department of your choosing. We are in need of the most skilled & intelligent people from all around the world in every different discipline. From literature to science, but mostly in the scientific department. Why, ask? Because we are nearly there, to the next evolution of our race. Self-sustaining communities are being built on the Moon, as up now. All things will become obsolete when we engage the simulacrum program in the public sector of our ranks. People wont need to work anymore, and everything will be free. Simulacrums are android-looking machines that people in higher ranks can dive-in to, and are created to be closer to the real person it was based on. It's based on personal level, physical attributes & their psychology to the most minimalistic part of their characters. With the help of all the technology that we are advancing on, we can create sustainable resources for generations ahead of time, even when Earth's own resources are depleted."

It all sounded farfetched to Drake, but from the beginning of the night he ended up seeing and engaging with technology that was not even possible in this time or age.

"So is that all of it, and what is my real reason for being here?" he knew something was off. His sharp mind took a second. 'If they need people just for work, why dont they recruit them, instead of kidnapping them? thought to himself with curiosity.

"Nah, that's what we put to all the new members, but you are here for something so special, at least that's why the Boss needs you, but if you ask me, even the Renegades could work on it", Blake seemed now, more serious than before...
