''Wow, viņš mani neredzēja.'' (''Wow,he didn't see me.'') -Whispered a boy with back-length blonde hair tied up with a long braid, and he's Is called: Linkus redwood. It was the boy who entered the drainage.
Linkus Redwood is a member of the Industrials, as the name of the society says, something Industrial causes contamination. By the heavy pollution of his land, he misses a lot of nature and the pleasure to breathe the fresh air without being afraid of getting sick by the toxins and the smog, the bluish clear skies instead of the depressing greyish pile of smog clouds hiding the shinning source of vitamin D, The trees that purify the air and not by machines and the animals that live on them...He misses a lot of these things, the land was so full of nature that the land was a colorful paradise once, now a caustic Industrial purgatory.
As the Industrials are a tribe of warriors, Linkus has a dagger as a self-defense weapon always with him, he carries his favorite dagger all the time in a dark purple leather sheath and it's supported on his chest by a leather belt around his chest on the left side
Linkus closed the opening putting the lid in place and got down carefully on the steps of steel of the drainage until his feet touch the dark and dusty ground, using a lantern he guided himself through the watery and mossy tunnel until he arrived at a large round train that looks like a worm he got inside the train to the homeland of the work-alcoholic people and dangerous sentient machines,Mekanika.
The caterpillar train entered through a portal and the tunnel turned from mossy to filthy and moldy then the speed decreased and suddenly the train ride felt just like a rollercoaster, it swooped down in full speed to take flight and get up to the surface, Linkus hold on tightly until the train arrived at the inter spatium temporis station.
''Paldies, Brendon!'' (''Thanks, Brendon!'') Linkus thanked the conductor before getting off the train and exit the train station.
The train station is actually not public, Is a secret interdimensional station that Linkus discovered by accident all because he wanders through the old drainage and the old subway channels during the nights before the sunrise, even if the surroundings are very silent and peaceful, he always carries his favorite weapon if an enemy crosses his path. The train station has been abandoned around 20 years ago, there's no exact reason to explain why for now.
Linkus just got upstairs and opened a round iron gate spinning a valve to exit the secret place. He walked to the city back to work.
The land's ''wildlife'' was been ruled by machines of colossal sizes instead of flesh and blood animals, the only real fauna that remains are cockroaches, rats, mice, moths, and a few groups of pigeons whose homes are the sewages and old buildings.
By the hazardous conditions of the ambient, animals have been affected in different ways...Some animals died by the toxications of the waters and soils or just the shortage of the plants that they eat, Some just ran away by the same cause to find a new home, and some died because the industrial society has destroyed their only habitat and of course some animals got modified by the radiations.
Since years ago, technology was been amazing the humanity, people imagine the future with talking ''sentient'' robots and flying vehicles. Scientists and engineers inspired by that future vision, a german scientist created a dispositive with a special function that allows to the machine reacts to a certain action and the goal was to prevent accidents but...the result wasn't expected and went out of control.
As a consequence of the incident now machines are lying in wait in a great part of the surface, and due to that situation, the land has cities on the ground and under, there's a city that looks like a playground called Tooli, it's full of pipes and it's so weird and dangerous. The capital where Linkus live and work is called Silnik but people normally call it Silnikpoli.
The blonde young man reflected the great mecha-industrial megalopolis in his mesmerizing greyish lavender eyes with the feeling of grief to get back to work in the Petrochemical plant, he just wants to be in a place surrounded by nature and pure oxygen instead of dangerous substances.
Linkus redwood works as an Inspector to check the machinery's state in the Silnik's Petrochemical plant, dealing with some rude workers is kinda such a struggle that he has to tolerate.
-''Rīt man jāiet uz darbu, es dodos mājās, lai sagatavotu savas lietas un pusdienas."
(-'' Tomorrow I have to go to work, I'm going home to prepare my things and lunch.")
Linkus mumbled in a low voice while walking to a small store to buy a tweepy soda with 5 torners. He drinks his corn-flavored soda while supporting his back on a public light pole, he saw the sunset on the horizon coloring the capital with shadows and red and purple colors, the light pole is activated with a pale light blue light. Linkus threw the can in the can's only container and walked into the city to his house.
The next morning, Linkus woke up and did his morning routine before going to work, He wore his black special protective uniform to prevent injuries from chemical or even sharp things. It has vibrant violet-black thick stripes on the arms and legs, he wore his dark grey protective mask, it has a thin lavender stripe around the safety glasses, also he puts on his black boots.
He got out of his house with a purple backpack on his back, then he took a dispositive that looks like a clothes hanger that allows him to travel in thick and strong cables, he hangs and slides to the train station to go to work, he saw the people buying, walking and working, but...what happened to the children?
Linkus felt tired while entering the building, while he slides his card a female voice with a peculiar accent and language speaks to the lad.
-''¡Que onda güero! ¿Ya venis a chambear?'' (-'' What's up blondie, Yo already came to work?'')
A woman greeted, it was a brown-skinned woman with long braided dark blonde hair, and that woman is called Alejandra Molten Herrera, a hardworking yet joyful woman that always makes the spark of happiness in the workplace, but when she has free time she makes a true fuss.
-''¿Cómo has estado,chamaco?'' (-'' How have you been, kid?'') She asked giving a very tight hug to the poor lad.
-'' Urk! I-I am fine, cough!'' respond Linkus with the struggle by the lacking of oxygen of her strong hug. He answered the woman's question with his second language. Even if she speaks Spanish, he answers in English. Alejandra knows other languages than Spanish and English, so she understands him but she prefers to answer with her mother tongue.
-''Ay,es verano,¿Recuerdas?'' (-''Oh It's summer, remember?'') Alejandra commented.
-'' Mhm'' Linkus replied.
-'' Pues el gigantón no ha salido mas que durante la noche,parece que él no soporta el calor del verano, compadre'' (-'' well, the big guy has been not going outside but only during the night, it seems he doesn't support the summer's heat, pal.'')
-'' Oh do you refer-''
-'' Sí,el.'' (Yes, Him.) She interrupted.
-'' Well, Maybe he changed his shift to the nocturnal shift due to how busy is him'' Linkus replied.
He walks to the oil wells, or as the workers call ''Oil-eating birds'' Because these machines move up and down slowly making a hypnotizing movement similar to a drink decoration that it's a bird.
Up and down, Up and down the iron birds do their job. Again again and once again.
Linkus was a bit worried about the big guy that Alejandra was talking about, he doesn't know what is wrong with him, Alejandra commented to Linkus that he has been acting a bit weird since the summer started, and he has been acting weird in all the summers since Alejandra met him years ago. That man has been friends with her for so long, but he acts strange during that specific season of the year? The land is hot as hell during summer but...what could be the real reason?
