A SERIES OF MYSTERIOUS METEORS IMPACTED TWELVE DIFFERENT CITIES ON EARTH FROM YEARS 1990 TO 1994

Edinburgh, Scotland---Over the past four years there have been strange occurrences surging from the heavens which are unexplained. Twelve meteors have hit the surface of our planet, hitting twelve different locations across the globe (Berlin, Orizaba, Xalapa, Marseilles, Yunnan, Lyon, Almaty, Arizona, Colorado, Barcelona, London, Edinburgh). 

Their exact origin remains unknown, and though all meteors seem to come from the same source--an exoplanet in an outlying galaxy, several light years from our earth--having also defied all possible explanations. 

In addition, each meteor contained within a protected shell of its nucleus, a unknown child that appears to be human in its appearance. Twelve boys with extraordinary gifts were found in the craters left behind by the impact of the meteors. All were taken to secluded labs within the cities they were found in, to run studies on them, in order to learn how their powers work and how the extraterrestrial beings came about.

MYSTERIOUS ICE COVERED METEOR STRIKES THE SITE OF THE SOON TO BE REMOVED BERLIN WALL IN GERMANY
March 26th, 1990.
EXOPLANET Scientific Journal
TOP SECRET

Berlin, Deutschland---The people of the German capital were startled awake by a loud collision striking the site of the Berlin wall this morning at five of the local time. A group armed of soldiers went to scope out the crater left behind by the meteor, ready to fight back against a possible communist attack, and were startled to find much more than that.

Covered in a thick layer of frost was a baby boy of an alien species which closely resembles human, whose presence or origin could not be explained. No one could explain how he got there.

He was immediately taken to the nearest hospital for physical exams and a group of scientists from the local university were called in to run some studies on the minerals left behind by the meteor crash and the frost in the crater.

The doctors at the hospital were stunned to find that though his body temperature was below zero, the child did not appear to be suffering from any form of hypothermia, nor did he appear to even feel any hints of discomfort at the coldness of his body.

The child was then sent away to a lab for more studies and was given a name, Experiment #99.

A SECOND METEOR COLLIDES WITH EARTH, THIS TIME IN THE COASTAL STATE OF VERACRUZ MEXICO
April 20th, 1990
EXOPLANET Scientific Journal
TOP SECRET

Orizaba, México---The city of Orizaba, in the coastal state of Veracruz, was rather quaint and quiet, a perfect getaway for people who wanted to be alone. No one would have imagined that it would be the sight of a second meteor crash in less than a month. The location--Cerro del Borrego--at the peak of the tallest mountain in the area.

Just twenty five days after a meteor hit the capital of Germany, a second hit Mexico.

Like with the first one, a baby boy was found inside the crater. Nothing else left behind in its wake. The Mexican authorities were quick to act and transferred the child to a scientific lab once determining that the baby was in good health. They also contacted Germany, to find out what had been done about their child, who had been found after the first meteor collision. 

The second child was given the name Experiment #7.

THIRD METEOR STRIKES OVER SIX MONTHS LATER, THIS TIME IN THE SAME COUNTRY AND ONLY A FEW MILES FROM THE SECOND STRIKE
November 6th, 1990.
EXOPLANET Scientific Journal
TOP SECRET

Xalapa, Mexico---When it was thought that the strange surge of meteors was done, a third strike hit over six months later. The meteor collided with land in Xalapa, a town in the Mexican state of Veracruz, just a few miles from where the second meteor hit this past April. The Mexican scientific community has been baffled by their findings, seeing an abundance of strange and new minerals in the material of the crater.

The child found within the crater seemed to posses inhuman qualities, like the children before him. And the minerals in the soil of the crater suggested that he too was from an Exoplanet far beyond our solar system. This has proven with striking evidence that there is indeed life outside our planet.

This third child was also taken to a lab, where he will be tested upon.

He was given the name Experiment #0.

i literally just spent about the last three hours working on this to make it sound like it was legit. i clearly know nothing about the scientific community though, so please bear with me everyone.

i hope you all like this story.

since i didn't want to make the prologue too long, i decided to divide it up into four short prologues. in order of the dates in which the meteors supposedly hit earth.

here are the first three.

minseok, luhan, and yifan.

thank you all so much for reading and supporting me. it means the entire world. and now i'm going to work on an update for lotto because i want to post it before i go to disneyland tomorrow morning.

have a wonderful night/day!

EDITED 02/18/2018: I DID SOME MINOR EDITING HERE. NOTHING TOO BIG. THE EDITING I MOSTLY WANTED TO DO WAS IN ONE OF THE MOST RECENT CHAPTERS. SO THESE FIRST ONES WILL BE VIRTUALLY UNTOUCHED.
