Project Gaia's Preparation. Project Release Article, #00012
In 2008, Giant Mono-chrome structures began to erupt from certain locations around the world, it seemed to be alien in concept, researchers began to calculate the properties of the structures.
They were then labeled as "Branches". The incident in which these came to be, was classified as "Rupturing" as researchers tried to identify the origin of the process, however no information was taken in account afterwards.
However, overtime. rare cases of anomalous activity began to show itself around areas of North America, many humanoid figures began to roam the world. each foreign in language and stature. these were dubbed "Apostles". in other cases, around the world. Humans began to exhibit properties that could be categorized as "super-human". the combination of these two events had led into the 4/11 incident. Opinions regarding the anarchy that occurred that day was silenced by the organization that shown itself after some time.
Aptly Code Named- "Yggdrasil"
The Government had suffered losses of enormous financial properties and causes. political organizations pulled away into the newly found "Yggdrasil" as other world powers began to question the legitimacy of the newly found organization, after it recovered the properties and repaid the debt, which was caused due to the destruction of local civilizations, while integrating policies that validated the existence of Anomalous "Beings"
After many riots, Yggdrasil Began to gain public support, governments around the world began to fall, as the organization began to take hold as the new form of branches for the central government,
Overtime many other organizations began to erupt from the shadows. each branding new forms of technology and culture that was foreign from the mainstream media or traditions.
Wide-Spread Panic of initial supporters/Civilians began to show itself throughout the northern hemisphere. immediate action was taken to control the public's opinion while hiding away any traces of trade or agreement from each of the groups.
These were dubbed- "Dominions"
After noticing the public "actions" due to the integrations of anomalies into society. the police were issued to commit riot control for the lasting periods of time. this then derailed into military efforts made by foreign parties. these couldn't be ignored as many casualties and properties were taken after skirmishes with said groups "counterattack".

Yggdrasil was fully established in every part of the world, dominating the northern and southern hemispheres. national governments had fully fallen as the organization that once came from the shadows took its place. further research on the "Branches" had shown that it came from "Yggdrasil" itself. The purpose of the creation of such structures remains unknown, as this project was only created to monitor the growth and development of these monuments.
However, many Groups of Interest began to purchase massive amounts of land, creating entire civilizations out of the ashes of an old world. further casualties were suffered after war efforts of the former governors have subsided due to the strength of the Groups own technology and military tactics. this resulted in the "Extermination of Elder Branches". Where former government officials launched a stealth operation to destroy any evidence, physical or not. about the "Branches", "Anomalies", as well as the concept of "Rupturing" by invading the newly formed capital.
It failed spectacularly. all traces of this event were erased from the public view after the operatives and raid itself, had all but been exterminated.
The Project of Gaia's Preparation is still in its beta phase, as signs of resistance had been shown by the officials sponsoring research of the anomalies that came from 2008. the factor of this being the new documents forming for the rights of the "Beings" super-human or not, being established by Yggdrasil, further stunting any studies of the origin of the genes or locations of which these beings came to be.

Certain dominions took note of Project Gaia, however there were no signs of hostility due to the obsessive research of our faculty. instead, they began to send information through messages in code or physical evidence to be studied about their customs. These "Dominions" then became the main supporters of the Project itself. funding the research of Yggdrasil's "Branches" as well as integrating the entire project into the New Government.
With this new information, technology was acquired to study the material of the "branches". with this said information, it seemed that the structures seemed to be bioorganic. being similar to human tissue or body mass. however, no signs of vitals or organic activity was sighted from these structures, studies say it was a giant mass of "Cells" that could be harvested for the future. others say that it was too dangerous. that the signs lead to something more mysterious than it let on.
Eventually the Project Management separated itself into factions. solidifying difficulties between the Projects development. Further Articles will be made by the epicenter of this conflict. it must be in equal consent for any of these to be posted to the New Government.

Project Gaia's Preparation, Project Release Article, #01237
Valuable Information had now been leaked towards the public eye, the origin of the "Branches" was said to be from the earth's mantles, as conglomerate of human bodies clumping together into a unique biomass. however, from what came afterwards was a cult that began to label themselves as "Root-Seekers". overtime they began to form a "Dominion" in the Eastern, Central and Northern Hemisphere. Specifically in areas such as Poland, Russia, Sweden. what puzzled researchers, is their properties. that being the ability to manipulate parts of their body. such as Cell's, Muscle, Skin, Blood, as well as organs and DNA.
Using these abilities, these "Root-Seekers" Began to spread organic material to create Pseudo "Branches". The project managers gained ideas about this subject. but said it will be discussed at a later date. Laws have been passed to make the "dominion" a natural preserve. as many politicians and officials wish to preserve the lives of these people for further demonstrations of logical or ecological benefits.

Overtime, Public Outburst were discovered to be caused by the "Root-Seekers", after it was leaked that their kind was being "Mutilated" for the future research of Project Gaia. An incident Occurred at the date of October 2038, 6/12. when the head scientist of bio-logical development. was assassinated. extensive research shown the culprit to be part of a coup, relating to the very "Root-Seekers". Ferdinand Kravtsov. A head politician associated with the "Root-Seekers" was then apprehended and put to justice. through these actions, the cult then took into war efforts. with a movement of the freedom and vengeance of Ferdinand underway.
Due to these acts of destruction between the "Root-Seekers" Yggdrasil then issued the order to exterminate all of those associated with the cult. an executive order of a Military Group Called "Voids" was then dispatched into the capital of the "Dominion" as from there...

-Head Research Facility, "пить кровь"-
"DAMN IT, DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!" A survivor Slams his hand onto the very desk he stood nearby. blood drawing from the very force he put into the slam. there beside him, stood a child playing with a stuffed toy. oblivious to the sins of the former.
"T-They said that they'll hold an evacuation for the innocents! but this, THIS!" Anger and fear combined to twist the man's word and heart, he looked towards the child. seeing he couldn't hesitate. he started to grab whatever he could and put it into what seemed to be a sack.
turning back towards the child, he gave instructions.
"O-Ok, I'm only going to say this once, so you've better be listening. there are people out there. BAD people. they aren't like the guys you saw on tv. or the one's the others talked about. they will take you from me if they get the chance. DO NOT! let them get that chance."
The child was confused, beginning to ask.
"But where's mom?" the child was genuinely curious, but the question was swatted away in an instant as the employee began to continue his instructions.
"Your Mother. She's at the River we discussed. you don't need to worry. all you need to do is follow the path we've discussed before we got here. I just need to grab things, so you need to run as fast as you can through the "Dominion". as soon, and I mean AS SOON! as you reach where the little fishes swim. WAIT for me. if you don't get there when I arrive. I."
The child stared at him waiting for an answer.
"I will not hesitate to leave you behind."
The man then went back to searching. the child too afraid to move. but the employee then yelled.
"GO! GO NOW!" the child then got up, beginning to run out the room. running through the barren halls. he saw each and every department. what used to be lively turned into nothing but an illusion. the child reached the exit, from the outside all he could see was a wide view of the "Dominion" he lived in. fire poured from its crevices. as the smell of blood and iron filled the very air. the child ran down the stone stairs of the hill the building was on.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
after running through the forest, the child tried to remember where the river was. he looked around to see buildings destroyed; remnants of debris being crushed over the occasional explosions that scattered more across the land. fire breached through the organic material of the land. with the child rushing through to see most of his people being pierced with sharp tools, some even hanged across the buildings to be used as its fertilizer.
The culprits of this massacre rushed through the streets chasing after each and every survivor left. the child saw many people run from gunfire as he hid behind alleyways. the only bit he could see from the culprits were the "Black-Masks" that they've worn. no matter their size, weapons, even stature. they all wore black masks.
The child then reached the forest, using muscle memory to guide him to the river. he thought he was fine, until he heard yells of discovery come from behind him. at that moment, gunshots were flooding the very space behind the child.
The child didn't know why they wanted to do this, though he didn't want to be taken. that's all
The child reached the river, seeing nobody near the boat that lied there. it was empty, he didn't have time to wait for his father. he began to yell.
"DAD! DAD!!" but nobody familiar answered, only the screams of those "black masks" came towards his location. he didn't have time to prepare the boat. he just continued to run.
The child ran, rushing through the fields of grass and blood. even if there was a chance of him meeting his father, he couldn't have the chance to think about it.
the only thing he could think about was his survival. while a feeling of dread slipped through his mind of never being able to go back.
Just run, Just run...

It has been 2 years since the culling of the "Root-seekers" have taken place, no signs of life have been seen in that "dominion". no signs of life have been traced from different parts of the world. due to this, we were able to gain materials in secret. mainly the samples of tissue of the cult's members, when examining the tissue, we were able to see veins that were similar to the super-human classification. as finally we were able to discover the truth behind the manipulation of their bodies, the substance from the veins was called energy. many tests have been occurring because of this discovery.
Different logs were spread around the world about the classifications of energy, as well as the use of technology correlating to using said substance as a renewable energy source. since this "Energy" is ever expanding, this was found out from most of the testing featuring the injection of energy via machinery. various objects, as well as the new creation from the "Bio-Mechanics" Department. signs of life had been present in the objects that were injected. further research into this topic is to be indulged by any staff that have read the article.
Further on, usage of the bodies recovered by the culling of the cult are to be strictly confidential, any export of these bodies to other organizations is strictly forbidden. any leaks involving the various experiments using said bodies to the public are strictly forbidden.
There will be a seminar about further planning using the new "Material" for the benefit of mankind.

The child ran, the feeling in his feet had dwindled away. at this point nothing mattered. he didn't even know where he was. all that remained was figments of his imagination, with adrenaline keeping his eyes and body open to his surroundings.
he didn't care about his father anymore; he didn't care about his mother anymore. but what he did care for was survival, but how could he if he couldn't even see at this point. it was all a blur, the mist surrounding him was closing in.
Though before he stopped, he swore he saw two figures getting closer and closer, they didn't seem to be open for attack, instead a sense of safety emanated from them.
The child finally slept...

Yggdrasil Database, Audio Log #112346
It seemed strange to find a child throughout our scouting of the northern hemisphere, it's been years since we have seen action, all we did was observe. but when we finally got out, my sister and I found him lying on the ground. he looked malnourished. on the verge of breaking, kind of like a porcelain jar?
We've decided to take him in; it wouldn't hurt to add a new recruit into our ranks. frankly we did get a scolding afterwards, but they pushed it off as slight mishap, nothing too out of pocket. the child lies in the infirmary. he's sound asleep, for now. however, it wouldn't hurt to keep him protected once he wakes up.
We'll also be conducting test on the child as well. to see if he is capable of supporting our regime. I have high hopes for him!

Yggdrasil Database, Audio Log #112347
It's been a while since the child woke up, I had to make this post haste since, well, they've discovered something unique about him. he demonstrated regenerative properties. the reason being was because he got into an accident. he injured his leg while being transported back to the infirmary. however, witnesses saw that he was able to heal the wound without support. when taken back fully, he was tested on.
The Medical Staff drew blood from the kid, didn't really expect them to go in depth for something like regeneration. but it wouldn't hurt to nurture his power wisely? the point is that the blood drawn had reacted to heat and frost. it seemed to coagulate quickly to prevent any damage to the blood cells. which surprised most of the faculty.
Further studies went on. I worry for the little guy, but I can't let that cloud my judgement for the future. however, I do hope the tests end soon.

The child lies in bed; he couldn't believe how he got here. it all felt like a strange dream. but he couldn't wake up!
He rises to see the sunlight that pierced the glass window. it stunned him for a second, but he didn't care about the minor annoyance. hell, he didn't care if he was taken away. anything was better than.
"Hey! Seems the little critter woke up early today!" what seemed to be a suit of armor came bursting through the door, with blue lights bursting through were its eyes should be. he looked ancient. in terms of the armor that made up his body. it felt like it looked impenetrable. pristine and smooth. though from days past, it said he was an "Automaton"?
"H-Hi. I didn't expect you to wake up so soon either?" The child said, still drowsy from waking up so early. the "automaton" then walked towards him, as the child followed in turn, getting out of bed.
The man spoke in a very raspy but upbeat voice. it was bordering on the line between serious or mocking. if anything, the child had gotten used to it.
"Wait? Before we go into our usual talk, how long has it been since you had a name?" The automaton asked with sincerity.
The child thought about it, how long has it been SINCE he had a name?
"Um? I don't really remember my name that much. I must've forgotten it when you found me." The automaton sighed, he then looked back towards the child and put his hand on the kid's shoulder. it seems that even if he pried. the kid didn't even remember his name or past at all!
"Well! I guess you do need one if you're going to be a part of this family! So, what do you want to be called? Thomas, Erick, Pearl? I don't really judge!" The child looked at the automaton with the blankest face imaginable.
"Well, If I were to choose a name. I guess I would go." the child stopped for a moment, thinking hard about the meaning and the future of his new name. it could be something cool, or meaningful enough to him to help him carry on!
in that instance he decided as the automaton tapped his shoulder.
"How about Clancy?" The automaton stopped tapping, looking at this new called "Clancy" with a smirk.
"Is that really what you want to be called now?" The automaton probably expected something better, more impactful. until "Clancy" gave his reasoning.
"I got the name from the one of the medical staff members, they said I look like a warrior, so I decided it would work in some way?" the automaton didn't mind this name at all, maybe he would change it later, or maybe he would let it be set in stone. only time would tell.
"If that's how you want to be called, I can't change your mind on that! now, let's get going. got to get the daily meals in before that tank starts on empty!" the automaton rushed out the room, it was always a tad strange since he didn't need to eat. Clancy just followed. eager to start the day!

Kid Seems to be eating well!
Clancy's body has seemed to grow through the past year. through the exercise he's been getting through combat training and those "quality" meals my sister makes. it seems fitting that he would be getting healthier. however tests were still conducted daily on the little guy. Clancy didn't seem to mind them anymore, at this point he's been tanking through them. but it made me question.
We looked back at some of the records of the extermination; Clancy had striking similarities to some of the people there. though the details were kind of washed out ever since the data was deleted. guess they didn't want anybody snooping around!
Clancy is about 17 by now, bout to hit adulthood any second! so I guess he won't be called a little guy anymore...
Eh! he's still my little critter! even my sister thinks that. Hope he understands that we still will protect him.
No matter what.

Error!
Audio Loop has suffered damage!
Now releasing subject from pod!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A pod then opens up, from what there is to see, the land had become barren from what it used to be. fauna covered the very walls of the "building" that this pod was in. Coolant steam starts to leak out of the opening of the pod. A man seems to come out.
Drowsy, yet acting with vigor. he arose from the pod in pristine condition. The man looked around, seeing nothing but the lush grass that brushed against his feet. with the vines that pierced the concrete walls that used to be ironclad.
"W-Where am I?" The man was confused, where was the staff, The medical team, The Soldiers, Hell! where were those "two". it didn't make sense, all he could remember was falling asleep, while a voice hummed into his ears a lullaby that he always liked.
A staggering pain then was implemented into his head, not like a headache. more like a migraine? but it vanished too soon for him to tell.
"THE HELL IS EVERYONE!" He rushed towards the pod to see if there was any information about how he got here, all he could see from the sides were the initials of a company of some sorts. but what surprised him the most was the name on the front of the pods glass window.
"Clancy"
He stepped back, looking down at himself to now see if he was naked. luckily, he was not! he wore a black shirt, with raggedy jeans that seemed out of place for a "Test-Subject". he even tried to remember what happened before all of this. but nothing came to mind. all he could remember off the top of his head was his name; the members of the building he resided in. as well as some of the natural teaching that he learned from the guardians that raised him.
The room was damp, with cracks of light filling its damp void. Clancy used that to get to the door. the lock that prevented entry was all but broken, it seemed that somebody tried their best to unlock it before it was too late. considering the skeleton near the very door. after passing through. he walked through the old halls of the facility he lived in. walking past the cafeteria where he would eat his meals. The very Training Facility that would get him fit for combat. even the room he slept in!
It was an odd trip down memory lane, but at that point he didn't care. it was not like anybody was coming back even if he shouted out their names.
"I don't understand." is all that filled his mind, the only thing he could do now was exit the facility and face the truth.
Seeing the exit, he walked up the steps. a slight hesitation filled his heart; something was telling him to stay here. to live out a fantasy. however, he knew he couldn't go back. nobody was there for him. nobody could protect him. not even "them".
He entered the light.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From what he could see, fields of grass covered the very ground. the metals that made up the buildings and railings had all but rusted away, as those very buildings were destroyed by the plants that burst through the walls.
"How long." Clancy truly wondered how long he's been away, walking through the grass fields and observing each and every building in front of him. but at that point, thinking about it didn't matter.
Clancy began to run, hoping he could find anyone in this wasteland, he eventually passed into a forest, as a similar feeling filled his heart. it was just like before; he was all alone again. he had no time to even bear through this hopelessness.
if he could remember, this area was Yggdrasil Territory. meaning that it was casted away from the outside world. he knew there should be a wall that encapsulates the entire fields. running Wildy, he went to search for any inch of the border itself.
when he eventually came near, it was not even a fraction of itself anymore, the border had completely fallen. the walls that made sure nobody got in. well, they were ravaged to the ground. only rubble remained.
Clancy knew this made things easy, though it made him question even more what happened. he just accepted it. moving forward through the rubble to the outside.
However, what lies before him was an empty city, it seems that the whole area was made as a checkpoint. something that was used as a cover-up for planning beyond machinations. walking through the city streets. Clancy saw old stores, barbershops, even restaurants. looking inside all the equipment had rotted away from its former self. all the food had dried, becoming more mold than matter. even prepackaged goods had been ruined.
"Guess I can't have it on easy street." Clancy joked to himself, but without any resources near him. he would probably starve; hell, he couldn't even defend himself.
He'd knew he had to continue, for them!
