History

Through human history one mystery intrigued, people the most. The lost Continent of Atlantis. Over the years and centuries there have been debates on the existence of Atlantis by 2017, Lewis Ashwal of the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa found evidence of a three billion mineral on a young island giving more credit to a lost continent. Even to this day there are debates that Atlantis never existed was just the mad ramblings of a scholar, or that it was in fact another island all together, even that it really fell beneath the surface of the waters that surrounded the island.

Some say that Atlantean’s were an advanced race both technologically and economically cut off from the rest of the world by barriers on all sides of the island that could not be passed on either side. In other words, no one crossed the mountains to enter or leave the island. With advancements in bioengineering and medical science.

Some say that Atlantean’s were actually an advance peaceful civilizations called the Minoans, these people lived in comfort with paved streets and sewers that were unheard of in an ancient world. Dedicated to art and the love of life where women were as important as men were and economically prospered, not just the wealthy few.

Whether by the Legend of Atlantis or the Minoans both legends end in tragedy. As the legend goes, the Atlanteans angered the gods causing them to strike back. The sky darkened and the seas churned, even as the ground shook. Fire shot out of the mountains and the water recede from the islands beaches. The ground started to come apart, knocking down homes and buildings causing a panic among the people whom have never felt the ground shaking beneath their feet before.

However, Jorah Zanth, one of the circle of elders and planned for the time when he feared the calculations told him their world would end. Of the four elders three others had trusted Jorah enough to support his plan for a contingency should they need to leave their land. The fourth elder had tried to discredit Jorah wanting to take his place, however, when the land started to shake the people turned to Jorah for answers and salvation. Those that could not contain their fear fled in a panic.

Jorah Zanth managed to gather his family and one hundred of his people onto a ship even as the lava shot into the air and the wave started to build. Atlantis did indeed fall below the waters, the lava and the earthquake, but not all Atlanteans joined their island below the waters.

They managed to get off the world that they thought was dying and found a strange planet off the edge of the quadrant that looked like a ball of water with very little land. Jorah Zanth and his people found no life on the planet other than plant and sea life. Over the years while earth continued to progress the Atlanteans continued to rebuilt what they lost, building cities under their vast oceans. Making sure to keep their planet healthier than the one they had left behind.

Centuries have passed since the Atlanteans have come to the water planet, they unlike on earth became explores of the space around them. The Atlanteans formed a military guild to defend the scientists that insisted on exploring. Though the Atlantean’s never went far from their new home. There have been sighs lately that the planet was in danger of falling apart. Scientists have been working to figure out the problem, except they still did not know how a planet containing mostly water held together.

Atlanteans had long since developed a kind of nano technology and combinded it with bio-engineering, this technology was suppose to replace laser surgery and work to repair damage from the inside from the common cold to maliengering tumors in cancer patients. There were a few test subjects who willingly stepped forward to be injected with these little nanites that were injected into the blood stream of Atlanteans who had life threatening illnesses. Riva and Drake Zanth were one of the volunteers, Riva had a rare form of cancer that otherwise would have probably been extremely hard to treat. Drake did not wish his wife to go through the procedure alone. He had been paralyzed in a child hood accident that nearly got him and two of his best friends killed. They had all survived, but Drake had been the only one to pay the price.

This was a painful process a few went crazy from the pain alone as the nanites did their job repairing the body. The nanites did their job well, too well the little buggers did not just repair the current illnesses and or cancers, but instead of dying off after making the repairs that were needed to save the lives of the test subjects, they continued to repaired the bodies of the twelve Atlanteans that had offered themselves up as test subjects, going so far as to repair effects of simple aging. Drake Zanth could walk again and he had learned his wife was pregnant after testing which had worried the Atlanteans because they were unsure what the effects would be on an unborn child. As time went by the doctors would notice that the twelve Atlanteans they had tested were looking younger by the moment until they were at their physical peak making them look around twenty five to thirty years old when infact some of them were closer to fift years of age at this point.

Because the Nanites required blood to repair the damage done to the body, they used more than a human body could produce causing them to take daily blood transfusions to prevent the pain of the nanites diging through organs to get the blood they need. Eventually the nanites modified the bodies to help them get blood more easily if they could not get to a hospital for a transfusion. creating canines that can extend to get the blood they needed from other people. Keener eyes sight at night so they did not have to go into the sun so often risking damage to the skin that the nanites repair. Making them quicker and stronger than the other Atlanteans, even the ability to go in and remove them from the memory of others if they needed to to protect the fact that they fed off of them. Most of the atlanteans whom had undergone this testing had left Atlantis believing that they were feared by their own people. This was not the case though.

The people had put a stop to the nanite testing until it can be fixed, but they understood that their people meant them no harm so the Zanths were the only tested Atlanteans still on Atlantis. Until now.

Born Stardate 235905.12

Some Atlanteans age slower than some races or even other Atlanteans do. The day Lila Zanth the great great granddaughter of the elder Jorah Zanth, whom had saved as many Atlanteans as he could was going to take her place among the science and military guilds to protect the plant was the day that the planet Atlantis fell apart. The buildings started to shake the city that they had built within the waters of the planet and along the surface with synthetic lands that created by the Atlanteans.

Lila’s parents were scientists working to figure out why the planets core was sending out earthquake towards the water’s surface causing buildings and cities above and below to quake. Lila’s Grandparents were the ones to get Lila into an escape pod to get her off the planet. She would not be the only Atlantean to escape, but she would be the only pod to malfunction and go off course. The Atlanteans had planned to head further into the quadrant or leave the alpha quadrant all together. Lila Zanth’s pod would end up heading in the opposite direction.

Lila’s Pod left floating into space leaving Lila in suspended animation with protections to keep her from detection by hostile or aliens that the Atlanteans had managed to make enemies of because of either differences, or the aggression shown by that race. Leaving all that she had known behind had been hard for Lila, she had not wanted to go to begin with, but her grandparents had promised that they would be right behind her in a bigger pod. None of the escape pods had were big enough to hold more than one or two people. Most of the ships were off world and all they could do was send out a distress call to warn those ships of the planets imminent destruction.
