《Triskelion》 Tunguska Speeding over the Planet at 558 miles per second the Stony object barrels towards the ground. Roughly three miles over the surface of the continental world below the object begins to slow at an alarming rate due to the density of the atmosphere. Upon hitting a predetermined speed the objects landing mechanism fire clearing the ground below of all dangers for miles around. -------Report 0001-------------- Who: Founder What: A large cryo-coffin of unknown origin Where:Tunguska When: June 30th, 1908 Name:Hank Strong Age:32 Race:Hispanic/Native American Religion:Atheist but a Foxhole crhristian Job:Explorer,Shady Job do-er,International family disappointment Vice:Gambling and¡­¡­ Smoking some reefer. Positive:Just and Fair but follows his own moral compass Negative:Crass,Cocky,Dense Snippet of Founder¡¯s Journal: An after account of Hank¡¯s interactions with Unknown Russian workmen. The long and arduous trip from the (closest major city here) was terrible. "I can''t believe people live out here" Hank said aloud to the Russian scientist who obviously could not understand a word he was saying. The man smiled a big toothy grin and nodded sagely. This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. "Da" He would always say. Hank knew it was because he hadn''t ever seen a man with his skin color before. He was used to it at this point, having grown up in white america. "1908 might be the future but sure does feel like nothing much has changed" Hank kept talking to his new friend. "Da" this time shaking his head with a stern expression but still a friendly expression. Hank followed his eyes to the edge of a massive clearing. Right in the middle of where a forest should be. A very...very large clearing indeed. One so big Bank couldn''t see the other side of it. ____________________________________________________________________________ What was recorded for posterity was the photos still in history books, but none of them are particularly close and they make a point of repeating how ¡°¡±No crater has been found¡± ad nauseam. They don''t show you the trees up close, or what leveled them. There are pictures of those and the symbols singed into the trees in a huge burning swirl. Some of the trees were still smoldering when the team reached them. The entire field is blown over trees with a burning spiral spreading from the center point and extending the whole way to the perimeter of the clearing. There were two things even stranger than what was already reported. In the center of the clearing was a metal seed of unknown make. Glowing crimson patterns radiated from the thing in low light. The patterns were swirls and arrows. The back is an onyx black plaque depicting a swirl with two dots engraved. One a small blue and green marble, the Other an aquamarine and red dusty marble. Synopsis of findings: 1 Dead xeno, roughly 7¡¯2¡± 12 freshly cut ornamental cacti analogies 2 ceremonial Knives 1 long style type rife *unknown ammunitions type* 2 boots/sandals 1 Roman style Tunic made of unknown fabric 4 books, unknown alphabet and plant fiber 1 unknown style book, made of stone and glass Spiral made of unknown alloy. Subdermal pieces of technology unknown to human science Conclusion: Unknown process was used by the cryo sleep coffin to keep its contents the same as when they died. The pod seems to have marked the ground in preparation for landing,communication or maybe even the safety of the contents. At this point the FPI(Future Protocol Initiative) is unsure of who or what is in the coffin and the meaning behind its strange burial ritual. It is the FPI¡¯s opinion that the rumor of earth having been visited in the distant past may not be as strange or insane as first believed. Newgrange ---------------------------------Journal of Juan ¡°John¡± Jose Perez found entry---------------------------- June 10th, 1993 Dear Journal, My dad bought me this stupid thing. A journal, how typical of him. Told me it would ¡°help¡±. I don''t need help, I am 17 not 7¡­ I hate how he barely has any time for me, but still treats me like a kid. What is happening to me the other 6 days of the week Pop? Oh yeah, I live with the people you pay to mind me. I hate you, I hate Ireland and I want to go home. I miss Texas!!! ~John June 11th,1993 Journal, So I heard a new song that reminds me of how I feel about my dad. ¡°Tell me what you think about your situation Complication, aggravation Is getting to you, yeah If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is falling Even if it wasn''t, would you still come crawling Back again? I bet you would my friend¡± Aerosmith''s ¡°Livin on the edge¡± Journal, I''m the one constantly crawling back to him. June 12th, ¡®93 So my dad was telling me about this place that''s being inducted into the UNESCO world heritage sites. Said it was called Newgrange or something. I tell you that doesnt look right as just one word writing it. He says its some long dead Irish from the bronze age. He gets so excited about his history stuff that I almost cant get a word in edgewise. ~Juan Jose Perez...John for short. June 14th, ¡®93 Journal, I hate school here, its so weird getting stared at for being what amounts to tan here. To these people I might as well come from another planet. They have paper skin and could almost glow in the dark. I Miss Texas¡­.. I miss Tamale...I miss home. ~J Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.June 17th, ¡®93 Journal, I saw the coolest symbol today in a shop. After I got him to write it down he told me it was called a triskelion. It looked so different from what I grew up seeing. It was made out of silver and the curves were so smooth you felt it pulling your eyes. I''m getting dad to buy it for me so I can wear it on a necklace. ~Juan June 18th, Dad invited me out to some summer solstice thing on the 21st. I guess something happens during the sunrise and sunset he wants me to see. He also bought me the necklace. He was excited and started going into its history. I zoned out about two words in. Always the same three words, ¡°Did you know?¡± Oh well, its amazing and feels right close to my heart. Like im growing as a person. Or something. ~John June 21st,1993 Today is the day, Dad and I are going together to the sunrise festivities but I plan to go and see the sunset ones as well. I have to remember to bring my passport and Embassy ID. Maybe I can weasel my way into somewhere I shouldn''t be. ~J June 21st er¡­.22nd I dont know! Something happened. Holy God in Heaven¡­¡­ I saw something. The sunset and my dad and everyone left. I sat there watching the world die around me. The last of the Light drain from the Tomb. They let me stay because my dads the ambassador. I watched for what felt like hours. Pop went home, something about sleeping but I knew he would just work and fall asleep at his desk¡­.again. So I check my watch after fading in and out of my thoughts. I realized it had been 6 hours and I had no idea how that much time passed so I started to panic. I stood up, put my hand to a wall to support myself and all the spirals and swirls came alive from my touch. The stone was smooth to the touch and pivoted easily under my finger tips. The swirl pattern I had placed my hand on seemed to be a button or the top of a joystick. The swirls glowed a light emerald drawing lines around the old carvings. Racing to the window that illuminated the tomb Eventually the window where we watched the sunset pierce the tomb earlier went matte. The sky wasn''t anything but a black box with the occasional white line of static. Then I saw a star, but it wasn''t just the star. It looked like the 3D image you would see at a planetarium. It wasn''t our sun at all. The bright red sun was many times larger than what school had taught me our suns size was. I looked where my hand was and saw the classic three swirl pattern that the man in the shop had told me about. When I took my hand off the image began to fade and the power ran away from me like vapor. I quickly placed my hand back down bringing the image back. I pivoted my hand like it would spin and to my amazement the picture zoomed in on the Second planet from the sun. This one was a light purple with reddish brown continents. I kept twisting, noticing the dust around the planet wasn''t dust at all but satellites. I twisted again and I saw a city. It was long dead like the ozymandias poem my dad loves. One last twist and I saw a room. It was dark except what looked like small lights coming from the floor. When the screen finally finished the transfer it must have turned some lights on because what I saw next had me running. The room was littered with skeletons of...monsters. The like that would never be from anything on Earth. I ran like they were chasing me but that had to have been dead for years¡­. If not centuries by the look of the city. I cant close my eyes without seeing the Triskelion and the Empty Sockets where eyes once were. What happened to them?
