PROLOGUE: SECTION OF LIVING

Each celestial body, unique in its composition and characteristics, holds its own mysteries and allures, like individual pieces in our unknown but gigantic cosmic puzzle, each playing a vital role in the intricate tapestry of the universe. Amongst so many possibilities, the vast extension is a precious oasis of life, teeming with diverse ecosystems and a delicate balance that makes life possible in specific occasions.

Beyond in the horizon, the circular masses capture our imagination. Does it hold life? Does it has large grey cities? Does it share the same doubts as us? The questions remains. These distant worlds, orbiting stars far from everything, hold the potential for untold discoveries. They ignite the curiosity of a human being and beckon them to explore the frontiers of space, pushing the boundaries of the knowledge we are aware of.

Contemplating the universe and its planets also evokes a sense of humility, where everything we know is just tiny specks in the grand scheme of things, mere observers of the hot clouds ballet. It reveals the remarkable interconnectedness of all things. It reminds that the human race is part of something much greater than their own existence - a vast cosmic web of energy and matter stretching across the cosmos.

Among galaxies, stars, gas and solid planets, a giant light blue circle orbited two hot stars. There was the place where the human race reemerged and evolved from the fragility they previously had in their genes. The frozen planet held billions of people already, where they could work, study and love, but also suffer, cry, be a victim of injustice and wish they weren't born. Qorjal held a gigantic greatness of technology, high buildings and vast dangerous deserts. Somewhere inside the city, Lola Pyotr had a fast pace in her feet while she searched out for her long date friend, Isaac Bethervan.

"Isaac, your mother just called." A serious tone just came out of Lola's words. She was ready to continue on telling what Isaac's mom said when she walked into the living room and saw the news on the TV Isaac was watching.

The living room was painted all in dark grey and had a glass thick wall that provided a view of the deep sea. The view in question was amazing during the day because the sunslightning could reach it a bit, when during night time, it was completely free of illumination, resulting in a profound black. Sometimes bioluminescent fishes could be seen amongst the darkness of the sea. The couch was colored in neutral tones as well, and the lights were a comfortable orange. Isaac and Lola were inside of a bunker constructed 100 meters down the frozen sea level.

"Well, that's exactly what I was going to tell you about." Lola continued, taking a place next to Isaac on the couch.

Isaac never let his eyes away from the television, lost and focused in his thoughts. "And why would my mother care about a guy found out of the country limits? If he was not killed by the monsters out of the border, he will be slaughtered by the Opus soon. Just wait for the headlines saying that he mysteriously died." He knew why his mother would tell them about that and here is why he stood up and got closer to the screen, watching the live footage of the guy the Federal Opus has found.

"She could swear it is him. I don't know how or why, but she affirmed and by the tone of her voice she was hysterical so I don't think she is bluffing." Lola explained, getting Isaac looking at her hazel eyes intensively.

"Where is my mother right now? And my father?" He turned off the TV and wore his jacket. Lola right away did the same. It was cold upstairs. A certain type of weather that reached three negative numbers in degrees. However, their bodies were prepared to handle it just fine, like it was just 10°C out there.

"I believe both are in the State Union until 26pm. Are we going to Policy City? I love the place." Lola got excited every time she visited Policy City. Mainly because the towers that composed the State building were huge and intensely beautiful, a pleasure for everyone's eyes.
