TIME CAPSULES
CREATED BY #62321
LONG AGO, AT THE TIME OF THE COLLAPSE OF THE ANCIENT ADVANCED CIVILIZATION KNOWN TODAY AS THE WALKERS, A DRAMATIC DECISION WAS MADE. ANTICIPATING IMPENDING DISASTER, THEY CREATED EIGHT SPECIAL TIME CAPSULES - ONE-OF-A-KIND ARTIFACTS THAT WOULD LAST FOR CENTURIES.
THEIR GOAL WAS ONE THING: TO SAVE THE KNOWLEDGE, CULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY OF THE WALKERS FROM COMPLETE OBLIVION. THE CAPSULES WERE HIDDEN IN VARIOUS CORNERS OF THE WORLD - BURIED, HIDDEN IN RUINS, WALLED UP IN CAVES - IN THE HOPE THAT ONE DAY DESCENDANTS WOULD FIND THEIR LEGACY.
construction
ON THE SURFACE, THE CAPSULE RESEMBLES A RECTANGULAR METALLIC OBELISK, ROUGHLY THE SIZE OF AN ADULT HUMAN BEING. ON ITS SURFACE, SOMEWHAT TARNISHED BY THE PASSAGE OF TIME, IS INSCRIBED THE SYMBOL OF THE ANCIENTS - AW
purpose
FOR THE WALKERS, THE TIME CAPSULES WERE THE LAST CHANCE FOR IMMORTALITY - NOT OF BODY, BUT OF THOUGHT. INSIDE THEM WERE PLACED:
​
-
WORKS OF ART, DOCUMENTING THE SPIRIT AND SENSIBILITY OF THEIR CIVILIZATION,
-
PROPHECY DISKS, MEANT FOR THOSE WHO WOULD COME MANY GENERATIONS LATER,
-
AND THE WALKERS' GREATEST TECHNOLOGICAL ACHIEVEMENT: THE AVI-8 DRONES - AUTONOMOUS MACHINES CAPABLE OF SERVICE, DEFENSE AND RECONSTRUCTION.
discovery
IN 2015, A YOUNG ARCHAEOLOGY STUDENT MADE AN ACCIDENTAL BUT GROUNDBREAKING DISCOVERY. DURING AN EXPEDITION IN FRANCE, SHE CAME ACROSS THE FIRST CAPSULE BURIED IN THE GROUND. THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.
A FEW MONTHS LATER, WHILE EXPLORING THE SON DOONG CAVE IN VIETNAM, SHE DISCOVERED A MONUMENTAL VERSION OF THE DISK - A MASSIVE ARTIFACT PULSING WITH ENERGY - AND ANOTHER TIME CAPSULE
​
NEWS OF THE DISCOVERIES QUICKLY SPREAD AMONG THE MODERN WALKERS COMMUNITY, WHO SECRETLY BEGAN RESEARCHING THE ANCIENTS. IN TIME, THEY DISCOVERED THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ARTIFACTS AND THE POSSIBLE FINAL DESTINATION OF THE CAPSULES.
solar storm
WHEN THE WALKERS DISCOVERED A PROPHESIED IMPENDING GIANT SOLAR FLARE THAT HAD THE POTENTIAL TO DESTROY ALL MODERN TECHNOLOGY, A DECISION WAS MADE: REACTIVATE THE TIME CAPSULES.
​
REFURBISHED AND SUPPLEMENTED WITH THE LATEST DATA, THEY WERE REBURIED - NOT JUST AS RELICS OF THE PAST, BUT AS A BRIDGE TO THE FUTURE. THEY WERE THE ONES THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO SAVE HUMANITY'S KNOWLEDGE, IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGIES - IN CASE HISTORY CAME FULL CIRCLE.
