Hi everyone! I had just watched the movie Tomorrowland and I have to say the whole concept for the movie is something that is just screaming for multiple story possibilities. Personally I think that they did a very good job with the movie and that the so called preachy portion that people are talking about isn't bad at all. In fact I would say that it is something of an inspiring speech since yes all this is happening since we are complacent with not doing anything today. Which means that if we want to point the future for a better tomorrow instead of the apocalypse we need to act. So enough talk let's get on with the show! Notice: I don't own Tomorrowland and Arpeggio of Blue Steel.
Chapter 1: The New Course
Other Dimension, Tomorrowland, 2012
Through the realms of space and time to a certain location there lay the fulfillment of a dream of a group of geniuses. In that place was a futuristic city bustling with activity, construction bots were rebuilding buildings and constructing new ones, space ships were flying off from the space port and returning from space carrying precious samples from other planets, and people were working on various projects of art, music, architecture, engineering, science, and technology.
Looking over the whole city was a towering building that housed the administrative services that ran the city and the Governor's Suits which formerly belonged to David Nix. The current governor John Francis "Frank" Walker was currently standing in one of the suits looking down on the bustling city while contemplating what had happened so far. Over a year ago he was living in his father's old house waiting for the world to end when an intruder showed up at his doorstep. That intruder was Casey Newton, a smart and lively kid that had apparently caught the eye of his former mentor and love interest Athena. She had stated that Athena had left her at his doorstep and was demanding him to take her there. He tried his best to deter that girl away from Tomorrowland, but she was very stubborn on trying to get there to the extent that she nearly busted his door down with a flaming harvester.
Eventually, it lead to her leading a bunch of Audio-Animatronic (AA) units to his house, him destroying his house to destroy the AA units, and finally meeting Athena after 27 years leaving Tomorrowland. Eventually, the duo convinced him to take them into Tomorrowland by using the Spectacle. A relic facility that was left-over by the founding four of Plus Ultra. They managed to get into Tomorrowland while being assaulted by the Paris AA units eventually meeting with the then Governor of Tomorrowland David Nix. He tried to convince David that the drop of the probability of Armageddon with Casey would at least mean that there was a chance that they could change the future. But David was convinced that no matter what they did there was no chance of saving the original world.
It wasn't until they were being readied to be deported back to earth that Casey had the brilliant insight that the monitor that he had designed was transmitting a thought about the future that was leading to the Armageddon future. This made him realized that David was purposely transmitting the signals from the monitor instead of signal leakage that he had assumed earlier. He later confronted David about this and found that David was using the monitor to try to prevent Armageddon, but was instead was convinced that the people of earth have given up. That led to his eventual battle with David to destroy the monitor which led to the "death" of Athena who blocked a shot that was aimed at him. Unfortunately, David died when the monitor came collapsing down to the ground after being destroyed by Athena. Which led him to be named the new Governor of Tomorrowland by the twisted irony that David had named him as his successor.
Now here he was from house arrest exile to leader of a whole organization, currently cultivating the next generation of fresh recruits to change the world. However, as of late there were some worrying events happening on earth. Even though they hadn't experienced the total Armageddon that the monitor had predicted the ice caps were still melting, governments were still being unstable, famine was still rampant, and wars were still happening. It was theorized that the current course would still be bad but at a much lesser scale. Something that they could live with and would be able to reverse if given enough time to do so. But those pale in comparison with the reports that they were getting about ghost ships that appear out of fog banks that were in the shapes of WWII war ships.
The first reports of these Fog ships was shortly after the trip to Tomorrowland via the Spectacle. Of which they managed to play it off as some light show that was too powerful that it shorted out causing the EMP wave. They didn't pay too much attention on these reports since they were busy reconstructing Tomorrowland and sending out the new recruiters to help bolster the organization. But it wasn't until one of the recruiters actually was at one of these events that it became a rather pressing matter. From what they managed to get from recruiter Apollo the Fog ships were giving off energy readings that were not comparable with old or current earth technology. In fact he stated that the energy readings seemed rather similar to Plus Ultra technology levels. That had set off alarm bells within the administration because they can remember the attacks by a rouge Plus Ultra member back during the Second World War.
Which leads up to the meeting that he has later that day to discuss the next course of action that Tomorrowland should take to these new findings. He looks on the currently being rebuilt futuristic city and vows that no matter what kind of threat this new power may be they will never destroy the vision of Plus Ultra. With that he turns around and walks over to the elevator tube that would take him to the main conference room where the meeting will take place.
-the meeting happened which resulted with them agreeing to continue with the renewal projects and recruitment. However, they should keep a sharp eye out for any further developments by the Fog Fleet as they were calling it.
Frank was rather satisfied with the results of the meeting, but was still sort of worried about the future of their organization and earth. He was broken out of his musings when a familiar face came into view. Casey Newton, the girl to brought him back to Tomorrowland.
"Why the long face Frank?"
"Ha Ha. Very funny Kid."
"Aw, come on. I know that the whole issue of the Fog Fleet is bugging you. But this seems to be something else there too."
"Well you got me there kid. That Fog Fleet may be a problem, but the events that are happening on earth is still similar to what was going on in the monitor. Even though it is much less of a problem than it was before. Sometimes I wonder if what we are doing now is too little, too late."
"Hey Frank. Look, I know that things are still bad even though we managed to go past the end date. But think about it, earth is still around. That shows that the future is changing and if we were to work hard, we should be able to reach the future that we dream for."
Frank smiled, "Well kid, you sure do know what to say to brighten things back up."
"Well I am what you are not. An Optimist."
Well this is what I got for now. Please comment and give constructive criticism. Thanks.
