Strangeo Forum Arch of Earth    awmanman   9/3/2006 Back in another thread I gave out a spoiler from a book called "arch of earth", I posted I would also post one of his stories. So I am. if you visit that thread you can see a prolude. ARCH OF EARTH 1 (online version) forsaken beginings: Chapter one: Is the future's past the present? "Please wake up Dr.Greston!" The calm female robotic voice set itself on alarm mode, attempting to awake its master, "Dr.Greston! Dont sleep in, you will be late for work! Youy cant miss the testing of your machine!" At the sound of the word machine, a figure rose from his bed. "My machine? Thats today?Why dident you tell me..." "I did," the voice replied. "Oh. Sorry," Dr.Greston was still waking up, out of his sleeping pod... ...Several hours and one coffie morning later Dr.Greston was dressed in lab coat and protective glasses, standing in front of an audiance. His mind was buzzing around like the long since extinct fly. Surrounding him where his teamates, Dr.Erin, Dr.Lampos, Prosessor unit 53, Dr.Jailist, and Supervising General Komos. And that other guy no-one cares about... ...The audiance is mostly Company owners, the kind of people that could afford HUGE Living pods, and fancy airo-moto vehicles. At his feet, a large box was covered in pure white cloth to hold its mystery within. Dr.Jailist started with a speech about science and the increadibly leaps forward in tecnology this would be. Dr.Greston could tell half of the audance was tuning out the speech, witch infuriated him. General Komos steped forward. He was here by order of the military, and so was to keep all actons legal. Still, Komos was a glory-hound, and a big one at that. He swept in and commented the military uses, one again ignored by the big-shots in the audiance. Dr.Lampos looked un-easy. His neck was sweating, his teeth chattering, and his cheeks turnd a discomforting red. "Jason? are you allright? Jason if you cant do tis just tell me," Dr.Grestons easing words dident calm him. "Jason, we hae been friends for..." "I can do this." Dr.Lampos wispered to him. "I wasent shure. I was..." Dr.Lampos stared at the machine with fright, "...Afraid." "Jason, you where hooked up to that thing for a year. We all know you wherent the same." "Ill show you," Dr.Lampos stoped his quivering for a moment and stood to face the crowd... ..."Gentlemen, ladys, we all know the price of energy is ver expensive. And, since the Suns supernova in 8046, we can no-longer gather solar light. To add on top of that, our fair galaxy is plauged with many space-fractures. Or in lamens terms, 'black-holes'." The un-stedy scientist tureend hid gaze to the small, linen-coverd box. "Tell me, where are we exactly?" He asked, allready knowing full-well the answer. One audiance meber calmly stated,"The new nucular base over the military sector, right?" "Yes, very good. let me introduce you, to the future of energy and science, and possibly the universe as we know it!" Dr.Lampos grabed the cloth and tore it straight off, revealing a mettalic stand with a glowing red button in the middle and an egg-shaped indent in the top with a small light in it. "Its a button," noted one of the audiance witout enthsiasim. "WRONG! This is a button that starts it all. The whole building is a machine, it all does somthing. The large satalite has a spechial interface energy stabilizer wich will search for, extract, and destroy the anti-matter in black holes," Dr.Lampos yelled in exitement. Another audiace meber relplied in a confused voice, "Why would that change energy consumption? and wouldent that break time? This is inpossible!" "Yes," Dr.Lampos said calmly, "It is." Dr.Lampos rapidly pressed the button, casing the buildinng to shake. "We are gathering power from black holes". Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   Draconorn   9/8/2006 That's soooo awesome o_o Hang on, it's brilliant!   Wup   9/9/2006 Woah! High five, Awmanman! ps. I haven't played Monster Raannnrrrnnchhdoggy   awmanman   9/12/2006 As the shaking contunued, a large, lazer-like robot arm protureded from the ceiling, placeing itself over the indent in the stand. Dr.lampos was instantly hit with fear and hate, falling onto the floor. struggling to stay upright himself, Dr.Greyston stubled to His aid, lifting him up to the wall. "Ladys, and gentlemen, Dr.lampos was stunned, but I will contunue the procedure!" He quicklyplaced his hand under the robot arm, in the indent. His haands jittered around, symoltainiosly moving the arm. The arm placed itsef over the middle of the stage, and the started to glow. The pure light poured through the wires into the tip of the lazer. It then rapidly fired into different directions on the floor for about ten minutes, leaving a blobus, glowing chunk of molten metal, slowly hardening, with a solid, black colored bar of vibrating matirial within it. as the item hardened, the bar inside melted into a liquid... After 30 minutes, the audiace was calmed, the shaking stoped, and Dr.Lampos sent to the hospital with minor phycological injuries. The room had become silent as silence itself, leaving even the creators of this object stunned. finnaly one of the officers guarding the room spoke out, "can I leave now?" His words discomforted the audiance. noticing this, Dr.Greston walked into the middle of the stage and picked up this small item, unaware of its true power. He began to note the slot at the back, plugging it into an electric slot hooked up to a simple light bulb. "Uhm... ...Observe," his words werent so mutch spoken but shooken out of his mouth. He hooked the object to the light and to the crowed pleasure, activated it. The bulb was beaming with power, giving the bulb extrodinary energey. "So this is the new energey that could be used. We will be holding another meeting in june, and you may find ways to purchase this..." A sickly sarcastic sound flowed with his voice, "...Wonder." Chapter2: Binds of time It had been sevral years since the unveiling of what was now called, project Omak, named after the black hole that was used to power the first machine, Omaken442. The world was at peace, with infinate power, there was infinite possiblitys, wars had stoped, cultural differnces had been setled, there was no more poverty, no need for money, and laws had become fair to all people. This seemed to be the perfect world. But there was a flaw. An insegificant flaw. Or at least thats what the humans thought. Random explosions had been ocuring all over earth, thankfully the genetic code was cracked, and the thousands of lost lives could be cloned back into life. Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   Draconorn   10/20/2006 Very interesting. How far have you gone through your book so far? I'm just finishing off chapter 5 in mine.   awmanman   10/20/2006 ((Ive finnished up to chapter 8 really. Well the real version has 10 major chapters, but this version has about 17 because the online version wil have shorter chapters.)) But these explosions had been growing larger and larger every year, an the population was slowly dropping. Nothing could understand what was tearing there planet appart. The government was getting desprate. They had made a perfect world, but for how long? So the world leaders Held a confrence. Generals, scientist, presidents, primeministers, all talking to eacth other through a translator conputer. "Why are my people dying?" "We have no clue!" "Thats not good enough! we need to figure this out!" "This is pointless, set up the moon colonys!" "NO! We cant abondon our home planet!" the whole discustion was crammed into the machine, it was working as hard as possible to strugge with the enraged polititions. The banter contunued for many hours. Then somthing happend. Somthing so un-expected, none could emagine it. there was anouther explosion. But it was the translator that exploded. with the force of fifty thousand litres of nitroglicerine. The blinding red light flung anyone who wasent close enough to be ensinerated back into the wall. Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   shlazamataz   11/8/2006 wow. very good. a sci fi story worthy of recognition. Beware what remains hidden in the day. For it may harm the unwary.   awmanman   11/12/2006 ((THis part is like a flashback of the charachters)) General komos had been working for a long time, leading a military unit to find the sorce of the explosions. He longed for the old days when he would fight in wars. His life seemed to lose its luster, making him more misrable eatch Day. As the years whent on, he found no anger. His world had ended violence, leaving him a bitter old man. He had not seen gunfire for ten years and wanted to see the burning trenches, he wanted to smell napalm, he wanted to feel the rumble of the earth as an semi-nucular shell oblitorated his foe. He wanted war. And soon he would get it... Dr.greston had begun to understand what a mirical he had brought to the world. He now lived by himself, himself and hs work. He worked on furthering the project omak's power. He thought himself as a very inportant man. A demi-god almost. And others thought more of him. He was given position over the planets tecnoligical resorces, scientist, money... ...But needed none of it. And he charished life for what it was, and kept himself happy eatch day, evertime he turns on the electrisity. Dr.Lampos died of his injurys, but he was scanned and cloned as quickly as possible. His new body was that of his childhood self. But somthing in Lampos was still gone, somthing he held dear to himself. His body, being a child was unstable and his intelect was often influanced by his childhood thoughts. Even remembering certan things would make him burst into tears. He hated his life and whanted no part of it. If he killed himself they would clone him again. If he lived where he was his life would be misrable. But a third option presented itself to him... Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   Symia   11/29/2006 Intrigueing.   Norn7b6   11/30/2006 WOW   Draconorn   12/4/2006 Awesome! You should get it illustrated.   awmanman   12/9/2006 Im thinking of doing that. but I dont have a scanner and I really want to make the artwork by hand. Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   Draconorn   12/12/2006 That's sad. I only got a scanner when I begged and pleaded for one so I could finish my book. Mum and dad got me one, they seem to know how important my book is to me.   awmanman   12/12/2006 My mother dosent even know Ive writen this one Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   Draconorn   12/15/2006 I want to sketch Arch for some random reason, based on your description in that RP. I dunno why.   awmanman   12/15/2006 Go ahead but Hes probably not what you might think he looks like. Ill give a better description: He wears dark camo-color pants with metal kneepads. He wears black, steel toe shoes that look similar to boots. His pants are baggy at the bottom. He wears a white shirt with a dark, opend vest that has metal bands that hang down. He wears metal bracers(Forearm guards) and Black gloves. He wears metal shoulderpads and the Jet-pack thing. He wears a metal mouthplate like a bandana over his face he has blond hair. his eyes are grey and totaly emotionless-looking. He usualy holds a small blaster(Like in starwars) in a holster on his waist. Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   Draconorn   12/16/2006 OK, that is a bit different to what I did. But I got it close-ish. Here: Arch.jpg EDIT: Here's a newer one. It's still a bit off but it's much better. Arch2.jpg   awmanman   12/19/2006 Very cool! I got a digital camra so Im gonna get some pics ready of him. Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   Draconorn   12/20/2006 I spent a while getting the proportions right on the second one (I often end up making my drawing's heads too big).I can't wait until you get this published! I want to be one of the first people in NZ to read it.   awmanman   12/20/2006 I give you more character discriptions if you like. BTW, this book is basicly where Archies power came from so He only appeares at the end and hes only a kid then, but I can post some Battles of later books, I have a huge arcive of 'em in my document files. Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   Draconorn   12/21/2006 So, Arch of Earth is a series? Yeah, you can post more descriptions if you want, and I'll sketch them all!   awmanman   12/22/2006 Cool. Since Ortho is poping up in the Rp Ill get his description up. Ortho Looks like a robotic thing (becuase underneath all his armor his just a blob of living fire). He is About 8 feet tall, and has very wide shoulders. His head looks like an oval tilted on its back, so it looks like a circle from the front. He has a Visor(-ish) thing on his face no nose, and three slits where a mouth should be. His head is allmost all covered by A frill-like neck armor. exept his face (Well, his armors face) He has a very large cheastplate with circular vents on his back. When he is angrey or in an intense moment, steam and fire jets out like spikes on his back. his legs are very slender at the shin, making him look like a battle droid from star-wars. His hands have three fingers and a thum. He can Increase his bodys temprature and withstand any temprature. he usually stands like he was about to jump on you and rip your arms off, with his legs bend, and his arms spread wide. If not, Hes usualy helping control the machines Isle bilds. Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   Draconorn   12/24/2006 OK, done. I'm assuming that your avatar is Ortho, that's why he's got all those Splinter Cell style goggle things. He's in a pretty bad mood, as you can see by his sparking joints and explosions of flames. Ortho.jpg As you can see, one hand is white and one is grey. It's a cool effect, but it's simply because I forgot to colour one of them   awmanman   12/26/2006 Awsome! (But my avi is a screenshot of a game I play alot) Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   Draconorn   12/27/2006 Ahhhh... OK. The Splinter Cell things are still cool, though. (and probably allow Ortho to see alot further than I can -_-)   awmanman   12/28/2006 (ya. but I was having some problems with deciding what ortho's eyes looked like so hes still a very loose character) EDIT: I made a developmental movie with photos of how Ortho was drawn (by me) and have gotton a link to work! YAY! ortho movie Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   Draconorn   12/29/2006 (I can't play the video ) Any more descriptions. You can do whatever with the sketches I've done, I don't have a use for them.   awmanman   1/9/2007 (Your image of ortho gives me an idea for the latest book, PM me for more info) Back to the story: Dr.Greston leaned back againts his synthetic leather chair, sipping an exotic drink while looking into a large window like screen dysplaying a large image of a beach. His tanned face smiled in the warmth emited from a small heater clinging to the ceiling. "Exuse me master Greston," A small orb-shaped robot assistant looked up at Greston with its large orb-shaped eyes. Its control panel lit up while it spoke in a calm, yet industrial voice, "You have a call master Greston." The Robot quickly span around him re-filling his drink as a kebord on a spinning metal tray rose out of the carpeted floor. Its eyes sythetic lids tilted as it span back around to the side of its master, "I have also cleaned the dishes, watered the plants, pre-cooked dinner and a midnight snack, scrubbed the floors, made your bed, bought a puppy and walked it for you, And named it McFluffinstine!" Greston laughed quietly to himself and pressed a smal button on the keybord, turning the screen off and bringing up a holigraphic image of a Military officer with a discoforting look on his face. "Dr.Greston! We have a problem and we need you and the remaining team from project Omak to report back to these co-ordinates ASAP." Sevral nubers ans leters ran across the screen and downloaded themselves into Grestons portible computer assistant. "Whats going on?" Dr.Greston asked, the look of comfort draining from his face. The hologram winced. "There has been an exsplosion at the UN, it killed sevral world leaders. And..." "What?" Greston interupted. Thew hologram was now conpleatly without emotion. "We think your invention is the cause." Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   Draconorn   1/10/2007 Oooooo... Just shows what humans can do to themselves   awmanman   1/29/2007 In the smoldering pit that was the now decimated U.N. tower, sevral bodys climbed out of the blistering hot dust. Sevral Anti-urbanDestruction crews soared over the scene in large hover-platforms, sending down medical droids to aid what was left of the worlds leaders. Out of the rubble and decay a long car with two large wheels gently strolled across the pavement and wound to a halt a few meters short of an armed guard. Greston Busily stamped out of his car and strode past the guard. A larger military carparked closer to the pit. Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.   Anita_Rose   2/1/2007 Wow, that's a great story, please keep writing I want to see what happens!   awmanman   2/1/2007 As Greston strolled toward the group of lowly scientists and physisist from the original project. Somthing was off. Komos was nowhere to be seen. Greston shrugged it off and begain cakculating how a machine could violently explode when the larger military vehical swung open its doors. Komos had arrived with a small squad of soilgers behind him. "Genral?" Greston said with confusion. "What are you..." He feltthe tip of a rifel against his back aand a pair of chrome handcuffs shackling his wrists. Hes eyes darted side to side seeing all the other members in the same situation. Komos smirked and said with as mutch false authority as possible, "You and team omak are under arrest for treson, murder, attempted murder, and crimes against humanity. You have the right to remain silent, you have the right to a lawer, if you cannot affors a lawer one will be assigned a lawer." Greston screamed "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!" Nine times have I been told im crazy and ten times I have accepted it.
