Under The Bunker

World History: Takes place in some ambiguous point in the 1930-40’s, Germany is invading Poland. Since the dawn of Europe’s dark ages in the medieval days, and the eventual 18th century, there have been rumors of a bunker/plot of land/some kind of landfill—the story varies with people—that contains lots of supplies and technology advanced for the time made by an early, either group or civilization, or early Russians. No one is sure of these details, if they were Russians, if it was a small or large group, but the legend of tide-changing weaponry remains. Everyone brushed it off, but World War II starts and Poland is desperate for something to push the Germans and Russians out their territory.

THE BUNKER: The surface, a terracotta-colored hall—rusting looking—where wires are exposed tentacle up into the ceiling. The bunker part is normal, food, water, and other supplies are present. In the lounge, lays a towering, futuristic terminal made out of multiple monitors and a giant panel making it up, sticking out amongst the normal-looking space. LOCATION: In a clearing in the woods, all foliage was trimmed down and the trees turned into stumps all the same size and there is a barb-wire fence six meters from the perimeter. The grassy plain opens up into a ravine that reveals the entrance to the bunker.

BELOW THE BUNKER: SECTIONS: OLD DISTRICTS, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, THE PRESERVE, NEGATIVE GROUND. - OLD DISTRICTS: Requires a route through the bunker—blocked off by Lucky—or Negative Ground to reach. The outcasts lived in these province-states—largely untouched by carnage or age, as it has been maintained by many Casimir. STRUCTURE: Made in resistance to the Czech functionalism they escaped from, their architecture is delicately human and homey inside, wood paneling, colorful filgree and wallpaper, intricate carpet. In the steets, decorated and thick-walled design suited to under ground pressure and tremors. Portions have inner courtyards, wooden balconies, and sun-light patios. The facades are connected, creating narrow but decorated streets, the new subsects, New Districts, still being lived in by certain Casimir. They also occasionally used Art Deco & Art Nouveau, more prevalent in their Výměnam Edifice—or the Exchange. - R&D: Requires a route through the bunker—blocked off by Lucky—or Negative Ground to reach. Stretch of industrialism, conveyor belts, vats of metal, workshops for the Casimirs, labs, surgery room/medical bays to work with organic materials or chemicals. Where every Casimir was planned and built, and every new weapon Lucky makes is also planned and built. - PRESERVE - GALLERY OF PEACE: - NEGATIVE GROUND: A giant replica of the world the Fools were trying to complete, a realistic looking sky with moving clouds and a day and night cycle. The space seems endless like the real world, never claustrophobic. Its diameter are countries long and the underground is hidden by towering walls that lead up to the bunker. It is also where the Výměnam Edifice lies. - VÝMĚNAM EDIFICE: Though, more commonly called the Exchange by survivors, is a 18-story structure and 60 meters tall, made at the height of Fools’ effort. It’s expensive-looking without being made of anything such. The facade is clad in red granite, complemented by blue and ‘golden’ glazed tiles, intricate terracotta reliefs, and a tower crowning the building that hangs a large soft banner that looms over the entryway—two intertwined gears, sign of the outcasts. The lobby features opulent materials, including marble they mined themselves, wood paneling from the surrounding woods, and plenty more. The multiple office and work units have framed pictures of the Fools and Casimir. It is treated as sacred, the only place they refuse to kill. Lucky always parts the clouds above it, giving it the most sun, making sure the glazed tiles always glow and look ethereal. It can be seen for kilos. It was a logistics buiding, for work, blueprinting & sketching, but also social hangout and attracts newcomers. It has been reverently preserved by the Casimir, neutral ground where people from different factions within Negative Ground come to trade, negotiate, & diplomacy. There is also the option to trade with Casimir and lucky themselves for favor, safe routes, food, uninterrupted sleep, something deity-like—if they can show him something new, interesting, not boring. No one has ever succeeded doing it, and the cost is horrid, but the option remains.

• POPULATION: Negative Ground is filled with many people, thousands if not millions could live down there. It is said, though, some humans, old if thats the case, still live in the Old and New districts.
• HISTORY: The bunker was renovated by two outcasts who wanted to do everything. They were being hunted and thought to hide in a compact research center that was swallowed up by the ground in an earthquake, becoming the bunker. Using what they brought with them, they expanded, using what they made, they harnessed electricity, using what they discovered, they made advanced technology; over 1,000 types of sentient sentinel robots, ai, and tech capable of doing irreparable harm to human society, what would further cement them as terrorists. Though they only made them to help them enjoy their isolation, fun, and to create, only for that. The sentinels were later dubbed The Casimir (destroyer of peace in polish) but were called Bláznův kamarád by the two, roughly translating to The friends. They made an AI that they would talk to and use to help their progress. The outcasts taught it most they knew—a lot—and talked to it like it was family. Later, the outcasts had to leave the bunker and they never returned. The AI, sentient in it’s own right, was furious and saddened by this, and promised to itself to continue the games they played, this time involving the humans outside the bunker, blaming them for taking the two away. This AI became Casimir XXVI (C26).
• THE OUTCASTS (FOOLS): a big duo who ran away from the world when tey were being hunted. They wished no harm to anyone and stayed hidden. They created all the Casimir and lived in the bunker. The Old District was what they created out of extra resources, hoping to shelter those who wanted to get away from the Great War (WWI). They and lived there for decades until they decided to test out the regions below the bunker began the Negative Grounds project. They invited many, first via letter—they lived in the districts—then they offered to bring people, acting as liaisons. They got too bold, someone invited, a disgraced former richy from a line of distinguished generals, was disgusted when he realized the robots were ‘pretending to be’ alive and had independent roles in the bunker. They threatened to reveal their location and get them executed. They hadn’t listened, they managed to rally others, promising to take over the bunker, and chased out the Outcasts with guns and then moved to destroy all the Casimir they saw. The Outcasts to leave and they’ve never been seen since. The Casimir killed and enslaved the rebels, not before they instilled a kind of “fear” of trusting humans.

THE CASIMIR: The Casimir (usually plural) is a collection of Bláznův kamarád, sentient technology capable of doing irreparable harm to multiple civilizations without a thought. They all are capable of individual thought and choices.

• Bláznův kamarád/The Friends: all ai-induced technology. Ranging from a mere droid, drone, human replica, or weapon of mass destruction. Their nicknames were given by the original outcasts. The commonly known being:
  • Casimir XIII (C13), The Arbiter. A large metallic humanoid that messes with electromagnetic waves, making himself invisible, vaporizing humans that annoy him, interfering with communication devices, and how objects are perceived. He used to be the troubleshooter whenever the Fools had problem with electronics, radio, or television.
  • Casimir XXV (C25), Cass. An advanced juggernaut that can clone itself, trained itself merely by trying to play different types of games, like football for throwing explosive shells. With the weapons giving him expert hand-eye coordination to play video games, or turn human’s into paste with rifles. He’s a bit...species-ist, thinks every human nowadays is dangerous, except the ones in Old and New Districts (“—I mean, nobody! Because nobody totally lives there of course!”), and need to be broken and trained.
  • Casimir IX (C9), The Digger. A sentient (of course) tripod low-slung body with a armored carapace. Each segmented, metallic leg, thick as a tree trunk ends in a three-pronged claw that can spin and work as drills. The Fools had it help whenever it they needed to make a new section underground, gave it the ability to sense vibrations—car engines, gun shots, moving too fast—just in case it cut important.
  • Casimir VII (C7), The Fisher. A bio-mechanical leviathan. Blue-light eyes that shine through murky depths. Multiple tentacles. Skin composite of hard, interlocking scales, each one cold and smooth as polished ceramic. Between the scales was a layer of tough, flexible yet sensitive polymer that gave slightly under his fingers, suggesting it could flex to allow for tremendous constriction. Revolving drill teeth. Today, Lucky has it on ecosystem control duty—kill a few people every sometime—but with the Fools it was just a friend, lived in a large aquarium in an Old District building and could communicate with other sea creatures and animals. They used to feed it.
  • Casimir XLIX (C49), Pier. A large bio-mechanical construct with a mech form. Black titanium -alloy shell, wiring underneath woven like muscle, and a black nanomachine skeleton. The helmet is steel, a panoramic black-tinted visor with an angry-looking narrow, and a grey worker’s jacket over the chassis, lighter than the rest of the shell, chunky brown buttons on the cuffs. Underneath the titanium helmet is a primordial black, an external mono-feature head, has a split jaw that can open into a mouth that can fit a human head inside. For...eating, and gaining mass. He morph into anything but chose to be a complex mecha to protect the human in his cockpit. His brother, V1NCNT, strangely enough, has claimed a biological and human son, Kons, so he Pier is the uncle by pure logic tree output. Pier was made to help with work and construction but the Fools invited him to design, see is creativity. Some of the cities within Negative Ground are his work, he also makes sure the wild life flourishes. He likes the apocalyptic look that carnage brings them SOMETIMES but some cities and wild regions are no-violence zones, market cities, or staging grounds.
  • Casimir L (C50), Vincent. An actual supercomputer. Similar to Pier in architecture. Responsible for the human-mechanical engineering monsters he calls the Flood. The Flood ranges from sentient to controlled horrors. During the attempted coup, he turned the “violenters” and meshed them with mechanical parts, leaving them alive but becoming his eyes—and Lucky’s and other high-function AI’s data chip hosts. He did not do this to Kons. Instead he did the opposite, and made the boy a dark exosuit and helm similar to his own and Pier’s so he could survive.
  • Casimir XXVI (C26), Lucky. A sentient supercomputing mainframe that’s a little evil. His true form could be as simple as a small data chip able to control human minds or a big as a quadriple-barrel tank capable of making craters in the earth. In short, it can transform into anything. It’s made to be the biggest database in the world given physiological freedom. Lucky went through a depression in the years following the disappearance of the outcasts, saving all photos of them and camera footage of them to it’s database. It never knew their real names, but instead uploaded their appearances and kidnapped those who looked similar to them (Daniil and Simon). It no longer considers them enough, they aren’t smart enough to fool it into thinking it’s them. It keeps using them to lure humans down and keeping them as mere ‘reminders’ of what once was, however, it is still unable to cope that they are gone. The outcasts called him lucky because his AI was trained quicker than usual, they called him lucky and it adopted the name officially when they were gone, it keeps their memories, recorded tapes of their voices, videos of them talking and playing just to reminisce with anyone he feels will listen (usually only himself).

PRE-OUTCAST OPERATIONS: before they left, the campaigns were fairly innocent. They taught their AI how to read and write, to study art and television, to generally enjoy themselves. Occasionally they would tap in and see the Great Depression and, before the war, people celebrating the fact they were going into the Great War. The outcasts tried to dismiss it, but even they couldn’t help but think people enjoyed conflict. Still, they wanted to prove that wrong. They were driven out by the people they sought to help and Lucky never thought otherwise. He wanted humans to feel his pain and to experience their genius, warping their technique and technology to a deadly point, playing battleship with humans on real ships and real missiles being launched, a large game of hide and seek with killing machines hunting until the last one, spreading infectious diseases and giving the task of curing it before everyone dies. Lucky took inspiration from the war above, convincing people to form two sides, SWARAS and BLAK, decades ago, and filling their strongholds and territories with propaganda to convince then into war, destroying some regions lived in and have to move through.
