In 2048, a new country has declared its independence, calling itself Pacific Aqua Americans. Like any peoples who try to break off from traditional unions of power, causes quite a problem. Three of the leaders of this so-called nation were citizens of the United States, who knew nothing about these people building such an enormous project. Especially without their knowledge or approval. The TfSs Technology group members thus called to meet with government officials.
They refused.
The group leaders warned they were risking their freedom if they did not show up asap. They were causing an international incident as the Chinese, Russians, and the European Union are getting involved. They believe you are a secret plan developed by the United States to spread insurrection and dissatisfaction in their countries.
This summons from the President started when a Chinese spy informed the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) of strange happenings in the north Pacific Ocean. At coordinates, latitude 26 degrees North Longitude 169 West. This spy had gotten out pictures of vast free world civilization, growing slap dab in the middle of the Pacific Ocean floor. The CCP asked for a special session to be called at the United Nations to address the issue.
The American President's office sent a summons to Odessa Zorcova, Michael Branson, and Roger Jones to appear at the white house and afterward before the California State 5
th
circuit court.
The American military was thus placed on high alert. The navy sent out a nuclear submarine the (Mid-way) from Pearl Harbor and the aircraft carrier the (President), from San Diego, to be at their location in 7 days. They also sent military Jet aircraft to investigate the supposed place of declaration. Surprisingly, no aircraft flyover nor satellite imagery detected any city at the coordinates north of the Tahiti Island chain near the Southwest Pacific Basin.
After seven days of traveling at top speed, the aircraft carrier (President) arrived; they saw nothing, just as the aerial flights had reported. However, as they got closer, they went through a bend in the light spectrum in the sky that revealed a domed city never seen before floating; it seemed as if on water.
General quarters sounded as the ship prepared for battle.
Simultaneously, underneath the water, the nuclear submarine (Midway) was also closing in on this declared location as the surface ship. Sonar showed nothing at all; then, the ship's captain could only see a blurred image from the periscope as it passed through some bend in the water. General quarters sounded as they prepared for battle.
But before I continue with the story, allow me to explain how this all came about. When writing narrativizes of a new country, please bear in mind that this involves a lot of this story being done by explaining the development, reasoning, and implementation. If you believe it is boring? Okay. But consider how important the U.S. Constitution is, and then read it, you will see my point. Also, allow me to give you a backstory to the events that led up to this newly formed nation and people.
Chapter 1 - backstories
Leader back story Michael Branson
Michael J Branson is a 20-year-old bi-racial male. His father is a black American, and his mother is Canadian French. I gathered that they met when his father was boxing for the American Olympic boxing team in Montreal in 1976. He was an alternate and sparring partner for Sugar Ray Leonard, who eventually became the world's Welterweight champion. His mother was working for an advertising agency that was covering the games that year. They got married after a four-year courtship; Michael was born ten years later
.
His parents settled in northern Chicago (where he grew up as a toddler). Not wanting him to get caught up in the street battles, Michael's father thought it best for him to live with his mother's grandparents, who lived in Lexington, Kentucky. It was a great life, and country atmosphere, with the occasional racial prejudice. Still, I am sure all kids get involved in some ill-treatment no matter the cultural race or gender you associate. He spent the summers with his parents and school semesters in Kentucky.
During the beginning of his senior year, Michael wanted to go live with his parents, who were fast at work in the advertising business his mother started; they were doing well overall.
He ended up going to Shults High School on North Chicago Avenue, in Chicago, Illinois. Everyone accepted him; he even went out for the basketball and football teams. He graduated with honors and lettered in both sports. After graduation, his mom got him a job with her ad agency.
Michael had a few girlfriends from time to time, but nothing serious.
He always heard stories of his father's boxing tails and watched all Sugar-Rays boxing events on YouTube. He was a talented boxer, but most importantly, he was a gentle and kind man.
It was the year 2010 when he decided to pursue his hand at boxing. But his father told him that starting so late would not be particularly good, but it is an excellent sport to keep you in shape but downplayed if he thought he would have a chance at a career. Like all mothers, she had a meltdown, but she eventually accepted that Michael was a man now.
She said she thought several times his father was going to get killed when he was boxing.
He said, "so did I." He laughed hardily.
She replied, "you're not helping me stop your son Franklin."
Michael applied to attend MIT as he always had an aptitude for science with a highly creative mind. However, he had not heard from them so far.
He spent the next year at the Chicago Boxing Academy and working at his mom's advertising agency. Life was going well; however, he had to admit he was way too old to get good at boxing, but it did help him get into the best physical shape of his life.
In the meantime, applying to Caltech, he was accepted for the fall semester of 2013.
That was great; He immediately acknowledged and signed up for classes, scholarships, and work-study.
Back story Odessa Zorcova
Then there is Odessa, a 19-year-old white female from Las Angeles, California. She grew up in Altadena. Her father worked as a camera operator for paramount pictures. Her mother was an actress but could only get minor character parts. She was born in 1977 because her parents were having sex so often, they forgot about protection. They told me they thought about abortion but figured one was okay; lucky me, huh?
Childhood was excellent, nothing to complain about too much.
One time before her 11
th
summer vacation, a gothic group formed in her neighborhood, their leader Wonda who lived down the block, was recruiting everyone to join. Instead of saying yes or no, she told her, "She would be spending her summer vacations with her grandparents who lived in Wichita, Kansas."
She frowned but accepted her explanation.
Living with her grandparents gave Odessa a chance to see two different American cultures, one in west California and middle America.
Odessa is 5 foot 5 inches tall, a tiny build, and a nerdy Brainiac. She loves science and advanced technology, has a vast imagination. She attended the Leverton Global Academy from the 6th through 12th grades, possessing a 4.0. GPA and graduated second overall.
Odessa spoke as salutatorian at her high school commencement.
She likes hiking and rock climbing, bicycles everywhere she goes, even though she could get her a car, love the outside, and lives in it as much as possible.
She loves Star Wars and Star Trek without seeing it as a big deal, but social media does want you to choose one or the other.
She received a scholarship to attend Caltech in the fall of 2014. She planned to master the four core enabling technologies, wireless telecommunications, photonics, nanotechnology, and micro-electro-mechanical systems. This girl was brilliant and knew it, but she did not want to do what was the norm or what everyone else was doing; she was adventurous but wanted what was new out there.
Back Story Gretchen Fleur
Gretchen Fleur a Dutch female from Terneuzen, Holland, this city lies downstream from Antwerp harbor. Her grandparents, in their 90's were foremost resistance leaders. She grew up listening to all their cat and mouse adventures with the German Gestapo as they worked to free their people. Her father works in the governments' intelligence agency for the past 20 years, and her mother works for an import/export marketing firm. She was born in 1997 is 5 foot 6 inches tall; of course, long blonde hair she has never cut, only trimmed. She has a Nic name because of it; her dad calls her Punzel.
Gretchen was in her room one day; the ceiling fan/light just stopped working, no one was home. She went to the circuit breaker her father told her about, but nothing was wrong. Getting a short ladder, she got up to see the problem, shook the fan base, and suddenly a flash of electricity causing the sudden loss of light in her room. Knowing it must have been some sort of short, got out her dad's toolbox and repaired it using electrical tape and a screwdriver. She went to the circuit breaker, and the light switched back on, she never mentioned the event to anyone, but her curiosity about such things began to grow.
Later that year, Advanced Lighting Technologies innovator manufacturer built a factory nearby, she applied. ALT. Inc hired Gretchen the following week; this started her off with an advanced understanding of technology.
One spring day, her father came home early from work all charged up, he did not say why he was so excited saying, "Gretchen get some sweats and a loose shirt and follow me."
She replied, "No, Dad, I've got homework."
He said, "Elise Punzel!"
Oh, My God, he used my middle, and Nic name this is serious, grudgingly she got up dressed and followed him.
A year later, she received a black belt in Taekwondo. To this day does not know why he was so concerned.
Gretchen having a creative aptitude for engineering, received a government-sponsored scholarship at a college of her choosing. She chose the California Institute of technology in 2014.
Back story Matthew McCann
Matthew McCann was born in a winery owned by his mother in New Zealand; his father passed away in a boating accident when he was five years old. He was a tough little boy trying to prove himself as the man of the family. Matt played rugby in high school, built a canoe, and then a sailing boat. New Zealand did not have much of an army, so he ended up moving to Australia, joining their special forces team at a very early age, 16.
At 18 Matthew returned home to the winery; his mother needed help due to its sales and reputation increasing. By this point in his life, he was an expert in wine tasting and management of the business.
One summer day, his best friend and high school classmate Jim Williamson wondered how long it would take to sail around the Island; after doing a quick net search, he did not find much information on the subject.
Matthew asked his mother about doing it.
Holly, Matthew's mother, was a gracious woman who loved his father dearly, raised her son on her own after his untimely demise, could not picture herself with another man, thus remained unmarried.
