Chapter 9:Warm UP


            They are a pair of archeologists who have been working together for some time, Heather and Diana. They've arrived in an arctic region to explore a series of caverns, hoping to find samples of prehistoric life. There is a dreamlike, ethereal quality to everything.They dive deep into the caverns and come to an opening, and are surprised to find an expansive, modern city inside.

            While standing aghast of the spectacle and discussing what their course of action should be, they are confronted by a man in a finely tailored suit, who seems unperturbed to be dressed that way in the extreme cold; he doesn't introduce himself, only says a brief hello before walking away. Both women are completely put off by how nonchalant the man is behaving, and determine that this place must be in a realm entirely of it's own; how could it be possible that an entire city would be thriving under these conditions, unknown to the world?

            Heather's immediate reaction is that they should report back to the crew and return to better study the area, excited at the prospect of making such a discovery and how it will boost her career. Diana doesn't see the need to announce it the world so soon; being older, she's had a successful career already and doesn't want to upset the balance of what seems to be a peaceful existence, let alone get involved in something so bizarre. Heather doesn't want to give up the opportunity, and compromises that they should explore the city and then decide what to do with the information, and so the pair decide to push on...
