The Awakening

Planet Stuttgart

---

Stuttgart was a new place for Elias, he had never been there before. A surreal scenario, made even stranger by all that situation and news that was affecting, almost crushing, Elias's life.
With recent weeks spent in rehab in New Berlin, Elias now felt fit again.
Once took a transport, it was time to see once again the space. The ships look much the same as they used to, he thinks. But something immediately catches his eyes: now "The Ring" is totally different. A gigantic structure that envelops the entire planet. He can't believe his eyes. Some passengers on the transport notice, amidst a few quiet giggles, that Elias is following the structure with an astonished gaze, like a kid.
The journey towards the Stuttgart system proceeded peacefully, but no point in hiding a blatant anxiety that is attacking him.
After checking his device for the umpteenth time to check that the road was the right one, he heads towards the entrance of the structure. The secretariat staff welcomes him.

"Guten Morgen, I should confer with the Vizeadmiral Gunter Kunrad. My name is Elias Köetz."

"Guten Tag, let me check. Yes, the Vizeadmiral is waiting for you in his office."

Elias slowly starts to walk towards the corridors that leads to the vizeadmiral's office. Beyond that door, there's so much to discover, from an unknown past, to his future.

"Guten Tag Vizeadmiral. I'm finally here, ich bin Elias Köetz."
