The underground settlements were desperate survival refuges beneath a scorched surface world, carved into cavernous tunnel networks and reinforced vaults. The technology underground was functional, harsh, and survival-oriented rather than advanced or luxurious. Air recyclers embedded in tunnel walls constantly pumped breathable air through cramped chambers, while condensation dripped along steel-lined corridors and concrete bulkheads, reinforcing a damp, industrial atmosphere

Drones were far more than background machines; they were the silent nervous system of a fractured future Earth. Sleek tactical drones hovered through summits and city streets, enforcing order with unnerving precision, while medic and utility drones handled rescue, surveillance, and daily life with near-autonomous intelligence. Among the most striking technologies was the tri-prism: an electrified vertical containment field deployed by a trio of security drones to immobilise a

The dome shields rose over the city-states like silent horizons; vast, translucent systems built for survival, not spectacle. Each was tuned to its environment: tempering heat, filtering polluted air, breaking storms, and regulating rainfall to measured levels. Coastal domes reinforced against floods and tsunamis, while deeper systems dampened tectonic shifts, absorbing or redistributing seismic force. They sustained and defined the city-states. Because the domes were also bo

ARGs had long since replaced the smartphone. Not by novelty, but by necessity. Sleek, adaptive, and ever-present, they functioned as the quintessential centrepiece of daily life: a leisure hub, a work terminal, a constant health sentinel. Vital signs streamed continuously, flagged anomalies surfaced before symptoms formed, and entire workflows unfolded through gestures, voice, or nothing at all. For heavier tasks, ARGs paired seamlessly with holoscreens or holopads, projecti

The fallen become the old. The old become the ancient. The ancient become the forgotten.

Those left to fend for themselves tremble under undying flames.

The only place left safe and thriving is caged beneath technology.

Born blind and reliant on technology to interpret the world, Kira experiences reality with deliberate precision, reading texture, sound, and subtle detail in ways others overlook. Thoughtful and introspective, she values what is felt and understood over what is merely seen. Drawn to photography, she seeks to capture the world not as it appears, but as it is truly experienced. “Um … why would a megacorp care about my photoprints?” - Kira Sen
