The Archive Of Lost Futures

⚙️ Story Pitch: The Archive of Lost Futures - Chapter One - The Glass Vault

PRESS THE ARROW AND LISTEN TO A FEW LINES!

Tagline: A poisoned world. A lone seeker. And secrets beneath the dust that could be humanity’s final hope — or its ultimate undoing.

🌫️ Short Summary:
The wind howls through what remains of Geneva, stirring dust across shattered avenues and the skeletal frames of towers long since stripped by time. Under the ghostly rust of a forgotten transit station, a steel hatch creaks open, releasing a sigh of stale air into the cold dawn.

From the depths emerges a lone figure — tall, lean, cocooned in grey insulation adorned with faded corporate insignias and scraps of obsolete tech. Perched on their shoulder, a spherical drone flickers to life, its chirp precise, clinical:

“Atmospheric stabilisation at forty-eight percent. Toxicity threshold remains critical. Limit exposure to ninety minutes.”

The figure simply nods, tightening a weatherworn scarf across their mouth. Their eyes, an improbable, cutting steel-blue, scan the desolation stretching toward the horizon.

Beneath this ruin lies the whispered legend of the Glass Vault — a buried facility rumored to house the last intact databanks of Earth’s lost age, or perhaps something far more dangerous. Today, in a world where every breath counts, the figure sets out to find it.
