Prologue
Antonio Freeman had a dream. A dream that one day he would change the world. A dream that one day he would reach for the stars, grab one, and pull it back down to earth. And despite the overwhelming events that occurred around him, he never forgot for a second his dream. In 1989, he took a step toward reaching his dream by founding TriTech, a company whose ultimate goal was to reach the stars. But he needed time to stretch his arms. So he created a complicated façade, quenching his thirst for knowledge all while inching ever closer to his dream. Surprisingly, TriTech's façade evolved past that. The military liked their breakthrough patents in security and robotics so much they made a ten year licensing deal, just 8 months after TriTech's founding. Good, Antonio thought at the time. He knew he would need two things to make history: an accomplice, money, and time. The money from the military licensing and ten years was plenty enough. But an accomplice. Who should it be? Of course Antonio chose his top scientist, Nolan Grey. Not only was Nolan TriTech's most reputable physicist, but he has been Antonio's best friend since high school. Together, they would change the world.
Antonio looked upon his creation, letting himself fall for the feeling of pride tugging at his gut. He snapped out of his satisfaction-filled stupor as Dr. Grey stepped into the laboratory. "We are ready." Nolan said. "Are we really?" replied Antonio. "It depends on who you reference to when you say 'we'. If you mean 'we' as in humanity, then no. But we surpassed Humanity's capacity for innovation years ago. So I assume you mean 'we' as in you and I. In which case, yes, I believe 'we' are." Antonio laughed. "Not everything requires scientific evaluation every time. A 6 year old could've come to an identical conclusion while sparing the time-consuming process of elimination." Antonio replied. "True, but a 6 year old does not have the intelligence of a Harvard graduate with more degrees than a Kelvin thermometer." Nolan retorted. "By god, I believe that was a joke. Or at least as close you have come to one in years." Antonio walked with Nolan to the e-pod. The doors automatically closed. "Fifth floor, City Capital please." The pod beeped. "Yes, Dr. Freeman." In a blink of an eye, the elevator accelerated to a top speed of 95 mph as it descended 452 floors from Antonio's office penthouse and about 4 miles east to the city capital. As it traveled the forward telescreen provided a live view of the entire island of Triancia. Antonio purchased the island for 19.4 billion dollars from Cuba, before handpicking 50,000 TriTech employees to live there. Of course not one employee refused. Why would they? A free beach house on a Caribbean island was tempting, to say the least. The elevator beeped. "Now on the fifth floor. Have a nice day, Dr. Freeman." Antonio and Nolan walked silently down a hallway until they reached a large vault. Around the vault stood four guards, weapons ready, solemn faces embedded on them. Antonio approached a small keypad by the vault, before entering eight digits. After 10 years of entering the same string of numbers, of course Antonio had memorized it. 11162001. The date he was supposed to make history. Today's date. The vault verified the code, and mechanical clicking could be heard as every one of the Doorway's 42 locks disengaged. The vault swung open, and Antonio entered, followed by Nolan.
