CHAPTER 1: In-processing

Today is the first day of work for Dominic.

Wearing a black suit and a blue tie, Dominic took his first steps into the Gori Building. After he was screened by the security guards, he went to the reception and followed the instructions he was given beforehand: dial 3568 (ELMT) on the phone and wait for an escort to orientate you to your super secret office.

In about 7 minutes, a smaller figure wearing a T-shirt with rolled-up sleeves, and dark blue cargo pants, appeared before him. He noticed a large tattoo which seemed to look like a owl with horns on his biceps.

“Hi, I’m Aydren. Please follow me.”

Dominic deposited his phone at the reception and followed Aydren to a emergency staircase, where he saw a hidden elevator.

They both entered the elevator and with Aydren scanning his retina in the scanner, the elevator started moving downwards at an alarming speed.

Suddenly the lights in the lift turned off and with a huge jerk, the lift stopped abruptly. Both of them looked spooked but after regaining their composure, Aydren went to pry open the door.

Both of them climbed out into a dark empty space. Aydren took out his torch and with the beam of light, both could see a hallway with 4 doors which was labeled: Security Room, Offices, Ops Room and Pantry.

LORE: GRIGHT

GRIGHT

FRISM is based in a futuristic city known as Gright. Gright is known for being a green city – in the day – or the city of lights – after nightfall. The government has placed significant budgets in maintaining this image of cleanliness, greenery and being bright. Trees and plants are grown between street lamps, pavements and parks, and in abundance.

DOWNTOWN GRIGHT

Downtown Gright is located along the seaside, with an offshore island inhabited with the richest of people. At the heart of downtown Gright is the tallest building in the world, at 921 metres, and also has many physics defying architectures around. ELMT HQ is stationed underground in downtown Gright and is secured with multi layers of security.

TRANSPORTATION

A new law had been recently introduced in 2026, where citizens can no longer privately own their own cars. A new system has been put in place that allocates a public car for your destination of travel. These cars are self-driving and energy efficient. People can hire this taxi service directly from their homes or cell phones. This is the normal mode of transportation for everyone, but to travel between states or offshore islands, a maglev train has been erected to bring people across.

LORE: FRISM

FRISM, a surveillance system built to detect terrorist attacks, is ran by a covert organisation of the government. FRISM receives information from cameras, CCTVs, mobile phones, microphones, email, social media, text messages and every other audio, visual, and text mediums. As long as there is an open network in its vicinity, FRISM is watching.

As a top-secret program, nobody knows of its existence. Nobody knows when was it created or when it started, but all that is known is that it has access to all data – past or present – and has been archiving data ever since.

It is now year 2030 and with FRISM in the system, the world looks peaceful – maybe just on the surface. With the limitation of FRISM being a system, it is acting only as a brain. It needs its arms and legs to carry out the task and therefore created a special group – they are called the ELMT – a plainclothes special task force created to eliminate these problems.

You two are part of ELMT, as partners – or not, you’ll  have to decide.
