CHAPTER 14

City-Ship Ascension - Geostationary orbit

It was quite a somber and quiet group that returned to the Ascension. Everyone’s thoughts were filled with the mind-boggling story they had just heard; it explained so much and answered some of the questions they had been asking for a long time. It also created many more.

They all gathered in a conference room after Zac and Pete made a slight detour to the food court to pick up a case of cold beer.

“One thing still troubles me,” Michael said. “I understand that we’re talking about an extremely long period of time since the demons’ attack and the destruction of Atlantis, but we should still have found at least some evidence of these past events. Archeologists are constantly unearthing evidence of Earth’s past, and we have fossils and data on cultures that go even beyond thirteen millennia, so why didn’t we ever find anything about such a momentous event?”

Max, whose hologram was sitting next to him, and was nursing a digital representation of a beer bottle himself, answered, “Maybe we did.”

“Then why did we never hear anything about it? It would have been too big a discovery not to make the news,” Elizabeth asked.

Max shrugged and gave her a sidelong glance. “It’s been a long-established practice within the archaeological community to disregard any discoveries that go against the established dogma of currently accepted ‘facts’.” Here, Max used his fingers as virtual quotation marks to emphasize the word. “Those who try to change accepted history by far-fetched theories, or even by actual findings that contradict those ‘facts’, are often discredited and ridiculed. Don’t forget, there are plenty of people in the world who believe that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old.”

Michael looked at the AI. “Max, search for any evidence on the net, and all databases you have access to, for things that could corroborate Ision’s story.”

“Don’t you believe what he told us?” Ben questioned.

“Oh, I believe, but I still want corroborating evidence; it’s that trust but verify mentality of mine,” Michael said. “Max, what is your take on Ision?”

“Everything he told us checks out, and his main driving force is a need to help the Atlantean and angel children on Mars. Michael, one of those children is his own son, and that’s the main reason he’s managed to keep himself together after learning that everything he once knew is gone.

“Additionally, he did give me full access to the Knowledge Vault after you agreed to his terms. It’s absolutely incredible! There’s so much data inside it’s going to take years to classify it all, even for an AI. There’s no search engine or logical file system of any sort; it’s a random ocean of unstructured information. There are thousands of years of history, poetry, literature, and extensive scientific research that even the exiled angels weren’t aware of,” Max replied.

“How the hell were they not aware of their own data?” Ben asked.

“There’s simply too much information. An ordinary being could spend a lifetime cataloging it all and still not make a serious dent.
