#2 of X Chronicles

This is the contest part of the series. I think it is understandable without reading 'Prologue' part.

This story was an original/first idea after reading about Sci-Fi Contest here.

Again, mainly for not-judging in contest, if you find some mistakes, please, send me a PM. Thank you.

Hoping you will enjoy,

your Radar!

Some names and technologies are taken from TV series Stargate an anime Fairy Tail.


If you haven't read 'Prologue' in this series, you must know a few things... 1) Furries calling their creators (humans, died 272 years ago) an "Ancients" 2) They started an 'X' epoch and they are using " 'X'YYY, DD.MM. " date format (Y - year, D - day, M - month and X in front marks an epoch)


X271, 01.01. (ANCIENT: 1st January 2288) Fiore Kingdom, City of Hargeon, Public Archive and Library Another year passed and since last entry nothing significant happened. I've just mated with Puress and in 5 months she will give birth to our 200st child. Woohoo! Even if we are more than 270 years old, we didn't feel exhausted or something like that. Another thing that Ancients couldn't know.

This year is also celebrated as 250th Anniversary of first furry child born 'natural' way. Another Woohoo!

X271, 04.02. Empire of Southern Deserts, City of Giza There was found a heavy circle with strange symbols on its edge, and measuring 2 meters from the center to the most outer edge, 1.8 meters to inner edge. Near this strange thing there was found something like circle table with large red hemisphere in the center of that table, and surrounded by the same symbols as on the large, heavy circle, organized in two circles. Too many circles so let's name them. Small circle, that table-like thing with red hemisphere on it, will be Configuration Device (CD for short), because when one scientist pushed the button with one symbol on it and the large circle, Ancient's Circle (AC for short), started to rotate, so we thought that CD configures AC. Our best scientists now finding out, for what was AC used.

X271, 06.02. Empire of Southern Deserts, City of Giza, AC site Bad thing happened! When one scientist tried the 156th random combination of symbold from CD, he caused something that could be activation of AC, but when large splash of water sprayed into the front of AC, it killed another scientist, who just observing the the behavior of the AC. Rest in Peace. But everything bad is good for something and we now have correct combination to activate AC. But still we don't know, what happen, if someone try to walk through activated AC (after disappearing of that splash), but it's only matter of time.

X271, 14.08. Empire of Southern Deserts, City of Giza, AC site Magnolia's (research facility in the City of Hargeon) scientists have constructed a 4-wheeled vehicle with small camera and module for remote controlling. They're hoping that it could be controlled even on the 'other side' of AC. They had named that probe "Conqueror #1" and set its first launch on 24.08. as a celebration of 'End of an Ancient Era'.

X271, 25.08. Empire of Southern Deserts, City of Giza, AC site The experiment was succesfull! Conqueror #1 wasn't destroyed and scientists are saying that they were controlling the probe. But they also found out that only possible way to enter AC is from our device, so they're now finding a volunteer for going through the AC and than try to activate the thing on the other side and then returning.

X271, 07.10. Empire of Southern Deserts, City of Giza, AC site Only one furry enrolled for the experiment, so the scientists have put a spacesuit on him and than activated the AC. He succesfully gone through and scientists communicated with him, using radio built in spacesuit, for 23 minutes, then the AC suddenly shut down. Scientists only found out a few things in that 23 minutes:

  1. The thing on the other side is AC too (with CD in the near)
  2. The atmosphere there isn't dangerous
  3. The AC on the other side is in Pyramid-like building (according to its interiors in comparison of images in Ancient books)
  4. One symbol on 'foreign' AC differs from our and after finding out the 4th thing, they told him he could try same combination and instead of 'our' symbol to use 'their'. After an hour the AC started to activate without any of us were touching our CD. Few seconds after the activation the furry jumped out of that AC. So it's possible to go through only from AC that was configured using its CD. He also find a room with many groups of symbols from AC organized by 6, so the combination we found is not only one correct. We also decided to rename AC to 'Gate Of The Ancients' (GOTA for short) but we didn't know, why Ancients don't tell me about this.

X271, 01.12. Fiore Kingdom, City of Hargeon, Public Archive and Library On the GOTA site we finally hired few furries to build a concrete bunker around it and announced the free places in the GOTA facility (that will be, same as GOTA, inside of that bunker).
