Alex started his day like any other day, waking up in the sleeping chamber, going to bathroom etc.
The bathroom was a clean, light orange, and it had a grey floor, the roof was some kind of polymer while the lamps are in a slight blue tint. It was right next to the power plant for the habitat.
Alex went to use the bathroom and though: "Why is this called a bathroom, if here is only a toilet and a sink?".
He suddenly noticed the wall shaking a little but he was used to it so he thought is was nothing and just left the bathroom and went to his office to do some work.
He felt the same shaking again but he still thought that it was normal.
He went to the main hall of the Habitat, it was a huge 150m x 100m room that was at least 30 meters high, it had a glass roof. He noticed that the glass roof had some fractures in the glass. He thought: "It must be the design, or is it? Well it isn't my problem".
He went to the hippo house. The hippo house had big pool and some grassy land to be on. It was decorated with tropical plants etc. There was 14 hippos living there.
When Alex was feeding the hippos with some watermelons and baguette, he heard a strong crack from the power plant. He thought that it was pretty normal so he just continued to feed the hippos.
Suddenly there was a big explosion and he passed out.
He woke up later in the hippo houses grassy land, he saw the 14 hippos still eating water melon, so he knew that at least the hippos were ok. He looked up and saw the glass roof completely broken and the place looked overgrown and old.
He though he was just dreaming, but it couldn't be a dream.
