The man in the High tower.

One of the last bastions of humanity, Ever since the Colation fell, Humanity has been splintered, with limited trade, Talks or any means of travel between the two for the common citizen, Truly we have fallen, Mass insurgents Besiege our most critical supplies, We all work for survival under this oppressive society of ours the wasteland beyond the walls, ever daunting the most daring Scavengers. The common citizen, Will never know what's beyond the walls, I know, however, It truly was the worst, most horrible event in human history. The few of us who know have to carry that truth, For the rest of life without telling anyone, for if the wall was breached, The end would surely come for all of us. That's what I would say, If they didn't already breach the walls already, and caused the second worst event in human history the "Evolution Plague" those who are affected are, No longer human by even the most Outlandish standards. We only survive because of this, Oppressive system that we run, no I run I'm the one responsible for this system and was it really worth it? I'm just prolonging the suffering of us. There is no chance for long term survival or us reclaiming the world for it is within Neo-London that is our world. And at the centre of Neo-London lies a secret that even I do not know what it is, the way for us to reclaim the world or, the reason the world ended. But, I do have one last trick, The system that keeps us here my system, I have been preparing it for the last thousand years, the cephalous protocol, The answer to the long question that has never been answered. What's beyond the wasteland of our planet, The old logs says planets and stars, but they aren't any in the sky not anymore, so what's out there? That's what I hope to find out with the cephalous protocol. I am the 43rd Administrator of Neo-London the last bastion, Within a world all but fallen.

"ALL PERSONAL FIND YOUR NEAREST, HANDRAIL, DIMENSIONAL WARP IN PROGRESS"

What the hell is a dimensional warp? What the hell is a dimension? I suddenly feel the need to vomit, I try to suppress it but, I violently Threw up, I look over to jack, he too was throwing up, he looked back at me and at that point, we made a promise to never talk of this I think?

"ALL PERSONAL, DIMENSIONAL WARP SUCCESSFUL, WARP TRAVEL COMPLETE."

I was just about to raise my head when the elevator stopped it made a Horrible sound, a Truly horrible sound, but that wasn't the problem, here whatever was that "Dimensional warp" crap was it's finished.

"Dan, What's that outside the window?"

I raise my head to a Light brighter, then anything I had previously seen, I replied I don't know Jack I don't know.

"Common man YOU HAVE TO KNOW, Aren't you the big bad executive man, Hell this is beyond my pay"

Jack, I told you already I DON'T KNOW. My mind was a Mess, What was that thing outside the window, Was it a Creature with the evolution virus, That can't be it, they would never get in the city right? My mind scrambled for answers and that's when I realised and Said Its the sun.

"The sun, that myth, It's real?"

I think so, Jack is this the afterlife, or...JACK Lets head to the archives, there will be answers there.

"The Archives? DAN WHAT ARCHIVES" I let my tongue slip, of course, he doesn't know of the Archives he isn't as high ranking as me, he doesn't even have the permission to know of it, I'll get executed if he gets found out, I bite my tongue.

Jack, Don't tell anyone I told you that just come man.

I grabbed him forcefully and Ran Down the hall, I saw Hundreds of my co-workers knocked out in their own vomit, Whatever happened, Caused many of my friends to be knocked out, I will help them later but now, I need to get to the archives.

"Dan where are we I haven't been on this side yet."

Look, We just need to get to the archives I'll explain later The knot in my stomach tightened, was it really the sun? What happened where are we?

I finally reach the archive, Terminal and inputted, "The sun" It pulled up one match.

The sun is a myth, too many citizens however we have proof it existed...The sun is a G2V orange star.

I found image's of it and...It was really the sun, The sun, Became dark Thousands of years ago though.

Is this the past I thought, Did we time travel? That only happens in movies though, We don't have the technology for it.

"WARNING INTRUDERS DETECTED" Blared the Speaker system.

"INTRUDERS ON THE 1ST FLOOR SEALING DOORS" The doors presumably slam shut on the 1st floor

"Dan intruders? How did Intruders get in we have a state of the art security system, it prevents any technology not permitted, to explode, We all have the chips right so, it would kill them, RIGHT?"

I don't Kn...Know Jack maybe, They don't have chips?

"EVERYONE HAVE CHIPS WE ALL GET SCANNED WHEN WE HEAD TO A SHOP OR PASS A CAMERA, That's...Impossible." He's right, No-one could live without a Chip, Wait we got disconnected from the server?

Does that mean we are off the grid? Where are we? I reach to the back of my head, The chip ejected?

that under normal circumstances is impossible unless the Administrator released the signal to eject them, Only he has the authority to do that, but now we are unregistered citizens? Why would he do that?

Jack stay here I need to check the security room."No way man, I am staying here when there are some strange f***ing things happening!" Fine, Come. I and Jack Headed towards the security room, Where I believe we would find answers.

I cautiously opened the door, thankfully the Fusion reactor was still online otherwise We couldn't get around The guard was in his own vomit, I pushed him out of the way and scanned the monitors, On the 1st floor.

Found them...wait, What are those clothes they aren't clothes for any class, A no classer? But they are relatively small Group. I turn on the mic and enable the Mic in the lobby to hear why they say.

I clear my throat And say.

Who are you, You are trespassing on The administratum tower.

No-response. I repeat you are trespassing, I have the authorization to kill you.

They replied, "this is the British arm forces, Your building has suddenly appeared without warning on British soil." British soil? Neo-London was built on British soil sure, But it's no more the UK ended Hundreds of years ago during the Great strike. I ask them a Question. This is the administratum tower of Neo-London, During what can only be considered an anonymous event, We have been transported here.

"Neo-London? What the Hell is Neo-London" Shouted one of the soldiers "You trap us here without warning and say you are part some sort of Neo-London well I'll have you know London is doing fine in the grand old year of 2032."

I was confused about the sun being bright but now it's 2032? "What the hell 2032, This isn't real right?" Shouted Jack, I'm guessing he's about as confused as I am, well more confused.

"THIS IS THE BRITISH ARMED FORCES YOU CAN COME OUT PEACEFULLY OR WE WILL CAPTURE YOU BY FORCE." are they pushing me? What Am I gonna say, I sat there thinking when another voice came on.

"This is the 42nd administrator of this tower, Charles Mountbatten-Windsor the 224th, I was performing a Test in, I guess the future a future of hopelessness, I am willing as the Defacto leader of this Tower. and Neo-London well no longer Neo-London, To let you in, Please mind the knocked out corpses of my Workers."

"You're from the future, you gotta be kidding me where's the proof, you mad man." Laughed the Presumably leader of the troops on the 1st, I think Jack was having a full mental breakdown by now.

"Well, I can show you weapons beyond your comprehension or use a World ending Device, But I'll show you tech beyond your imagination, Call your scientists."

The past, Is it or is OUR past.

Who knows...However, things are heating up, What is the 42nd administrator plan?

also, Jack was shortened his real name is Jackin off to fireplaces and hdbsuhe.

Ya know the future so was dan's name is, Daniel, Hardcastle the 1st mammalian.
