Description
Bathed in silvery moonlight, the domes appear calm and almost fragile. Yet, approaching them at night unveils their solid construction, evoking a sense of intimidation.
In the end, the catastrophe wasn't triggered by human action. Global temperatures had been on the rise for years, and both humanity and the environment gradually adapted to the challenge. Yet finally, a volcanic eruption tipped the balance, releasing a surge of carbon dioxide and particles into the atmosphere. Unprecedented heatwaves ensued, causing droughts and famines across the continent. The dying vegetation elevated carbon dioxide levels even more. Initially, people experienced fatigue, then unconsciousness. Soon, normal live was no longer possible. They fled to the mountains and sought shelter in tunnels, establishing the foundation for a new civilization. Starting with basic amenities, humanity found a way to rise again. Rediscovered old technology paved the way for the construction of massive hermetically sealed domes in the valleys, interconnected by the road tunnels that initially served as habitats.
Achieving airtight seals for office and residential structures became relatively straightforward—sealed windows and rooftop machinery for air filtration were the essentials. Daily life within these adapted settlements resembled normalcy as we know it. Despite this, the construction of the domes persisted, posing the intriguing question: What lies within, and what compelled their construction, considering it wasn't strictly necessary?
