A/N
Hello dear readers, welcome back. I'm really in the mood for writing so the chapters might come too quickly haha. Enjoy the story and tell me what you think, we are in the deep, dark unknown now.

Namjoons pov. Logentry .

" This is my....I don't know,  but it's December 22nd  2084. Soon Christmas. We've been trying to prepare as much as we can. It's really confusing, we don't really know where we are but we are guessing.  I've searched the internet but just got the restricted pages, not very true. We defected.  But I've heard from one of the guards that there was another story. Taehyungi has hinted this as well.
About a fire. Strangely enough, we all dream about fire alarms, darkness and smoke.
It's so strange.  Taehyungi came to show me, something that Singular gave him.
He wants to show it to all of us. And music. We know that Singular had knowledge about us that we don't have.  Taehyungi  heard Hoseoks voice, he says.
It's very odd. Why can't we remember, only bit by bit. It's like we've been robbed .

Anyways, through Nurse Holly and some of the staff we've been able to get things for Christmas. Seokjin ordered grocery and fruit for our food. We don't really know how we've celebrated Christmas, some of us are Christians and some not. But food, decorations and gifts are common for everyone I suppose.
I've bought..*whispers, a guitar* for Jin. I think he can play , I wanted to show him that I appreciate the support he gives us all now. I've got something for all brothers.
Well, we don't have money, that Holler have given us some funds to pay our way. It's something really strange about him.
He's all teeth and voice and a faked cheerful approach. He was upset about something, I think there was supposed to be an interview with us. We never heard more of it, he says it's going to be broadcasted tomorrow.  Its like he owns us. Creepy.
Newspapers don't exist, it's all on screens in every home. Not like tv, more like a noteboard with commercials, official messages, governmental info and news.  It goes on and on.  Nurse Holly says there are screens all over the city, you can't avoid them.
I wonder how Christmas will be, nurse Holly will bring her old grandfather. It will be nice to have guests.
Something needs to be normal. Jimin feels bad for the staff that can't go home, he's preparing gifts for them, Ah, Jimin....one great bleeding heart.

Authors pov.  Hidden in the depth.

" We still use elevators,  even these days. This one is powered by solar cells, control works on voice command. You can't use it. It takes authorization"
The officer named Albright smiled reassuring towards the crowd.
" We need to get deep down,  level 10 perhaps?"  Hoseok called "10 "and the elevator came to a stop. He smiled towards the others.
" My voice is still valid"
" Of course it is sir, you aren't retired from this facility"  Albright called upon some people waiting on the platform. They saluted Hoseok and Albright and nodded kindly towards the others.
One of the younger women, blonde and a bit on the chubby side, blushed and called out:
" Oh, hi Seokjin, merry Christmas in spite of everything"
Seokjin was turning pink but returned her greeting very cheerfully
" Hello Stephany.  Merry Christmas" 
Namjoon stared in disbelief. Jimin started to giggle. Jinhyung was a charmer however bad things were. Jimin knew that Jin had been helping out with deliveries  and also in the kitchen before they where moved. Or , at least , moved to another house.
The staff had been in the surface buildings several times and Jin loved to meet new people, just like Tae Tae. 

The rest of the boys walked hesitantly out of the elevator, watching Hoseok with a great deal of awe. Why on earth did he control the lift?  Why did the officers greet him with such stern politeness? It wasn't just respect for the elders, it was something else.
Namjoon who could understand English better than the others, listened carefully as Hoseok started to discuss the situation with two other persons. After a short session, they pointed down the hallway,  and Hoseok turned to the others.
" This must seem very strange to you but I'll explain once we get settled. My quarters are down the hallway,  it seems they've kept it for me"  he looked content and secure, while they were uncomfortable and totally lost.
Jungkook grabbed Jimin by the hand , looking more in shock than ever before.
Taehyung however, was feeling at ease.  He had been freed of his burden and hyung knew how to handle this. He skipped down the hallway, greeting everybody he saw.
Namjoon stood quietly, trying to process what was happening. He could feel the walls falling towards him and all of a sudden it was dark and silent. Jin caught him just in time, before he hit the floor.

Hoseok looked at his beloved family, the brothers and Holly.
" This has been such a hard trial for us all and I quite forgot the tension you're in. Let's get settled and rest our weary minds. We need that, right? The chip can wait, I'm not sure we are ready for it.  "  He kneeled with surprising ease beside Namjoon, who's pale face and tense body spoke very evidently of the situation . Jin was holding him with a warmth that made everyone else feel more comfortable. Hoseok stroke his forehead with tenderness. Namjoon would always be his strong leader. Hoseok ushered Jin to act.
" Can you walk or should I carry you?" Seokjin asked.
Namjoon blushed, he wasn't the one to be weak. He got hold of Seokjins hand and got up, only to fall again. Seokjin sighed and grabbed him legs and all, carrying him towards where Taehyung stood waving.
" You've put on weight" he scolded him with a cheerful smile.
Namjoon closed his eyes and stayed silent, but a faint smile was showing .
" Hobihyung, are you sure we are safe here?" Jimin had almost no voice left, he was tightly attached to the wideeyed and scared Jungkook.
" I'm sure"

Yoongis pov.

There was so much going on inside of him. He hadn't really been thinking straight , she was so beautiful. He had a hunch that it probably wouldn't be so wise to kiss a nurse that had military attachment, but how much can one think really?

How confused things would be just a couple of days later was beyond his wildest imagination. He was thrilled that she was coming for Christmas and scared stiff about what she would say. She was older than him, he wasn't sure how big a problem that was.
He had nothing to offer her, that was worse. Much worse. What was He? A Korean singer? Gone lost in space for reasons unknown, locked up in the desert in a legendary facility , guarded by cameras and armed men. And worse still, missing out on 64 years of life. He was , as she so accurately put it, an older uncle , to her. But still younger.....oh heck, how could that be!?

And the worse, no best,  worse , was yet to come. When he realized that slim old grandfather was Jhope, his beloved buddy, the best part of Sope, his mind blew. He couldn't handle it, all hell broke loose in his heart and head and he fainted on the spot.
And now, who was this man? The officers knew him, he knew them by name, he knew the codes and had an office waiting. On the surface the menacing creep Holler was gathering forces, scanning the area to find them.
Yoongi needed time to process this. Hoseok was Hoseok, he was so damn happy to see him, his heart was growing and glowing. And still, nothing was the same, was it. How could it be?  He looked from one brother to another, they were equally confused but tried their best to handle the situation. He looked at Taehyung and smiled, the unique boy was totally on top of things, chatting happily with the staff, skipping off to get tea and cake.
To his left Namjoon tried to get his act together, embarrassed by the scene he had caused and by the fact that Seokjin had carried him. Jimin sat with Jungkookie, heads close together, talking quietly . Kookie was scared, that was new.

" You look totally lost, I'm sorry "  Hoseok stood in front of him, a concerned look on his face.
" Oh, why should I be? I've been sleeping 64 years, woke up surrounded by aliens, dreaming nightmares of my best friend getting incinerated in flames, being locked up in the site for Independence day, lacking Will Smith. On top of that I've fallen in love with my best friends grandchild, I'm all sunshine and cherryblossoms ."
He smiled and attacked his old friend . They stood holding eachother for a long time, crying their eyes out. 
" You old fool"
" Young brat"

" I heard something about fallen in love...." a soft voice startled him.
" Do you want to hear it again?" Damn it, his voice cracked.
" Yes, I would"
" I..." He suddenly got shy and awkward, looking at her, standing a bit hesitating in the doorway, there was an anxious look on her face. It struck him that she was nervous. Why? That he would back off? Never. He left Hoseok and approached Holly slowly.
" Jung Holly, I love you"  At his words the quiet buzzing in the room stopped. Even Taehyung stopped in the middle of a jolly skip.
But he didn't notice, he couldn't see anything but her glowing cheeks and teary eyes, her sparkling smile "
" Min Yoongi, I love you! I love You!!"
As they totally disappeared in each others arms, an alarm sounded, subtle but obvious.
Albright rushed in, whispered something to Hoseok and then faced them all:

" They are here. We can monitor their movements and right now they are tearing your house down. But don't worry, they can't reach us here. If they try.........we've got all the monsters..." He smiled and withdrew.
