500 hundred years before 2844 the anti-Futurists destroy the Brazilian rain forest with a device so perfect that the outline of the continental area containing the rain forest is destroyed while preserving what remains of the South American continent. The reasons for destroying the rain forest were many. The principle one was the belief--some said perception--that forces of negative energy had damaged the indigenous peoples of the rain forest. The Anti-Futurists and their alies are part of Earth's trans-national aliance and are mostly oblivious to the Realist-Futurist-Neutralist consortium and its activities.The aftermath of the destruction: the sea level rises gradually all over the world. Two projects get underway at once, building elevated cities as the highest mountains would not be enough to house what remains of earth's populations. The other is the settling of the ocean floor and the transferring of as much of the world's culture and knowledge to the cities of the sea.
Before the burned-out core of the former rain forest is covered by smoldering foam, the Realist-Futurist-Neutralist consortium discovers a hexagonal artifact. The object is thought to be one structure, but in trying to explore its interior, it is found to be two tetrahedrons (pyramids) with their bases fused together. One is thought to be destroyed, but is hidden by the realists; all three groups jointly process the remaining object.
Inside the structure is found a device, or devices, which record all the devastation the anti-futurists have brought about. The device, when inactive, appears
to be prismatic-metallic bands of a lighter-than-air alloy. This impossible device clearly did not originate in our universe, but has survived the inter-dimensional vortex unchanged, or so it appears. When the miniscule generator powers up the device, a kind of layered, interweaving warp-like process is created that is able to record all the devastation of the rain forest destruction, as well as the events that led up to the actual cataclysm. With enigmatic precision, the device completes its intended purpose and begins a reverse warp-movement or effect and seems to hover between the immediate vicinity of the ground, the air, the sea, and finally seemingly disappears into thin air. As it disappears, glimpses of the past, present and, apparent future of Earth transpire, all in rapid succession. Some think it an illusion. Others theorize the object either entered a time either before or after it's unusual recording process.The device reappears throughout history and, depending on the sophistication of the civilizations it appears to, is either venerated, feared, unseen, or studied for its strange future scenes, if future scenes they are accepted as being, of a world with no rain forest, no cities on solid earth, and civilizations beneath the seas.
Some are able to take this information and prevent the future dest
ruction in their alternate timelines, but in the timeline, in which the object originated, the cities either above or beneath the waters of Earth, remain, as do the groups mentioned previously. The hexagonal artifact was to have been discovered in a more peaceful and natural process, but the negative forces, as well as the anti-futurists, changed all that. In the end, the discovery of the artifact by the targeted groups and its lucrative technological secrets found its way into earth's history and would bring about the historical departure in 2844 as well as 3001.Three members of the Consortium, Entrulio (En-troó-leo,) a Future Optimist, Treyinta (Treh-jín-tah,) a Perfect Neutralist and Zrutunt (Zroo-toónt,) a Perfect Realist, make their first and, perhaps, only appearance in the historical records. They are both terrestrial, yet non-terrestrial, as they are instrumental in deciphering the incomplete Etruscan writing and piecing together the purpose and the history of the hexagonal artifact.
