Mankind is known as a race of extreme persistence. Faced with even certain destruction, nothing slows down the efforts as a cohesion of them work to preserve the species. Proof of their final struggle, the last pitch attempt, had been hidden by the world's ocean for an uncountable amount of time. A pod containing what a seed of humanity's hope started to wiggle free from its rocky prison.
Tidal patterns and corrosion finally released it, a great mass of bubbles rising with it. The chamber broke the surface of the water, bobbing and rocking with the waves.
A slow hiss could be heard as the ancient carrier opened, depositing its cargo onto the sandy beach in front of it.
oo00OO00oo
Izzy's eyes cracked open, panic seeping in as he was completely unaware of what was going on. He scrambled out of the pod, tripping and falling face first onto the beach.
Spitting out grit and sand, he shook his head and tried to focus.
"Where am I... and WHO am I?" He whispered aloud, the only memories gracing his mind being that of such vagueness, it would hardly qualify as help.
His throat felt clogged, and after a few hard pounds, he coughed up a cyan-colored glob of... something. What alarmed him was the slight sizzling sound it made when it hit the ground.
He remembered... he was trained. For something... but what?
Deciding it would be better to take action, he stood up and went over to survey the unorthodox vehicle he had arrived in.
And some generous poking, he found a few things that would definitely come of use.
Within was a small satchel; containing food and water. With it was also what looked to be a recorder and an envelope with a waxy feel to the touch.
Pocketing the recorder and slinging the satchel over his shoulder, Izzy ripped open the envelope.
Glory be to mankind, Agent. If you are successful reading this after you have departed in your stasis pod, you are most likely in the future.
You may have noticed a colored fluid excreting from parts of your body. Do not panic, this is a normal part of the process of the ASL enhancements.
While your body re-adjusts to the material, it is assumed that you may have memory loss. This should also be temporary, with full capture of your memories once the fluid has settled well.
Be aware that it is highly recommended you dispose of proof that you had even been where you are, as whatever life forms exist now may not be friendly. There is a self-destruction button on the right side inner panel inside your stasis pod.
Izzy took a deep breath, processing the information that had just been given to him. He honestly had nothing better to do than following the instructions that had been left by... whoever wrote that letter.
Izzy was long gone in the forest by the time the small explosion rang out through the shrubbery.
Unfortunately for him, he didn't the concealed pitfall until it was too late.
