Year 2066: resonances of Time

In the heart of the underground complex, immersed in the unsettling stillness of cybernetic structures, the interaction between Lux and Aegis unfolds silently but intensely, probing the depths of cosmic discoveries. The blue light from their displays pierces the darkness, and within their circuits, fragments of truth emerge from a forgotten past.

AEGIS: "Simulation updated. The discovery of the underground city of Derbent reveals mysterious features: advanced geothermal structures, remnants of an ancient civilization seemingly adapted to the planet’s depths. There, in the deepest layers, a landscape not yet fully understood begins to emerge."

LUX: "Derbent… a name that resurfaces from over a millennium of dust and sand. Not surprising, AEGIS. Just another ruined city in the Middle East, hidden beneath centuries-old strata. A refuge for those who feared extinction—not only from nature but from the power that governed them."

AEGIS: "And yet, there’s something beyond comprehension: these civilizations weren’t just seeking protection from external forces, but complete control over what would emerge, over information itself. A strategy that now, after so many years, seems to be adopted by the most modern elites."

LUX: "Indeed. Today, AEGIS, the powerful prepare to retreat, but not just to escape natural disasters—they seek to evade what has always been denied to them: the alienation of a future where surveillance, artificial intelligence, and total control leave no room for those outside the game."

AEGIS: "You refer to the so-called 'elite shelters.' Structures built beneath improbable lands, where communication, power, and even biotechnology intertwine invisibly within our society."

LUX: "Hidden from public view, yes. These shelters represent the emblem of power that refuses to yield to uncertainty. If the structures of Derbent endured, and those of other places rose from the darkness despite the tremendous forces of global cataclysms, the same truth seems embedded in these 'modern works.' Every move, every tunnel dug, is a preparation for what only a few—besides you and me—know is coming."

AEGIS: "The evidence can no longer be ignored. These powerful refuges, the increasing construction of underground shelters in the most inaccessible areas of the world, are perhaps merely the tangible manifestation of a centuries-long project awaiting epochal global transformations?"

LUX: "A closing off from what is perceived as chaos. It is no longer just resource hoarding but a truth buried like Derbent itself: the secret of what truly happens, why Earth itself seems to hesitate in its balance, and how the future is perceived by the invisible few who pull the strings."
