[MEK] The Origins of the New World, Part 1

"Investigation by (Codename: ) Sterben4kk, Traveller, Scholar and Politician
We call this world simply “The New World”. But how is that so? It was a known fact that we are living by the ruins of a former glorious civilization, but how did it come to be this way? I travelled far and wide, and of the thousands of people still alive in this declining and at war world, none had the answer. There was no memory, there was no proof, there were no one who could recall their real names, other than these codenames we heard in our head and in our dog tags surrounding the neck, as we woke up in this world. What is Plato, the uncaring leader of the world, hiding? Nothing was present on the surface. I had to dig deeper. And so, I did.
My first (and shaky, at best) clues to why and how we live in this world were learned while journeying the country called “United Kingdom” (funny enough, it had a Republican style of government…), in a place called “Stonehenge”. It was there that I discovered several time-space anomalies which rendered several important instruments severely damaged. However, a quartz crystal started resonating at several seemingly undecipherable frequencies. Analysing it deeply with an electronic clock, which was seemingly malfunctioning, I saw several patterns form with an exact time of 60 seconds per cycle and noted them down. Laterwards, I discovered these patterns could be transformed into sound by using the hexadecimal system. This discovery was purely incidental. This music, however, was completely weird and drove my dog Falken (RIP) insane, and I had to put him down. Analysing his brain post-mortem, I came to conclusion that his insanity was caused by a narrowing of the synaptic gaps between his neural connections. Despite this, I was not even harmed. It was clear this music somewhat had a connection with brain activity, and it might have been used to wipe out the minds of everyone in this world, in which we have been living for years, and still finding new, brain-washed people every day, even though in a smaller number than years ago.
Following similar techniques, I started scanning the world for weird anomalies which could help discovering what happened. It was in Africa, in a place not claimed by any nation whatsoever, that I managed to get the best clues I had ever seen. Following the same procedure, I was able to extract a small frame of video to my computer. It was short, not even ten seconds long, but reveals a series of nuclear detonations over big cities. It was, however, already clear that the world was destroyed on nuclear war. What was it so relevant? The bombs. The bombs seen had the flags of several nations that we know on the New World. I won’t name them, for security and balancing reasons. But it was more than clear that the world had gone out in war. Total Nuclear War, nothing like the localized, honourable conflict we see between the nations. It seemed a dream.
However, things had me thinking. If the world had gone out in war, how could we never find any corpses? How could we simply find recently awaken people like we once were? Why was that tone able to alter minds? It couldn’t be coincidence, but only someone with malicious intent.
Days had passed, and I couldn’t help but wonder why the war started, and why did our memories went wiped. The trails of the energetic anomalies were running cold and I was unable to extract information from the other anomalies I had detected. It was then that an assassin tried to get to me. While on expedition, a lone bullet took me in the shoulder, but my aides were quick to help me. I never knew the identity of the killer, but I suspect that Plato was the on to hire him. This led me to Switzerland, to confront the leader of the New World, but he denied me any audience, and his secretaries treated me with scorn and dismissed my theories as “complete non-sense”. I was more and more certain that Plato knew things that the regular citizen could not.
Deciding I had to act, I hacked Plato’s network facilities to extract all the data I could, before being detected. However, the data had a special encryption which I did not know, it destroyed my own devices, but not before seeing the following message:

Diz-me sinceramente uma coisa: isto é mesmo original?
Sim. É original mas inspirado num estilo de escrita da comunidade TES lore do reddit 🙂
A última parte tira inspiração do meu jogo preferido, mas a unica semelhança é a frase, pois aqui aplicada terá outro qualquer sentido.
É porque é mt bom 😃
Parabéns
Obrigado 🙂

Eu votei neste artigo
Ando numa leitura tão medieval que tudo moderno me parece estranho...
Ainda assim, parabéns pela coragem e partilha!
E já agora, porque em inglês?
Queria que fosse o mais universal possível. Não sendo a língua materna fica mais complicado, mas ao menos ajuda me também no desenvolvimento do meu inglês.
Obrigado ☺
Hard to read, pá!
You should punctuate and paragraph better!
Nevertheless, excelent read!
Keep it coming -.-
A pontuação é propositada, mas em relação aos parágrafos... É falta de jeito já!
Obrigado!
Em frente! Os teus textos são fixes! -.-
