Far Dock

"Long time ago, plants covered the world. People used their knowledge to build metal buildings and tools. Nobody would worry about food and water." This was what you read from a [[book->Nowadays]].

Even though the world was beautiful, it was only a fairytale for now. Burning light,beams from the sky, began to appear on the ground. There were fewer and fewer places for people to live. Burning light had destroyed almost everything people had. People had to keep moving to survive in [[nowadays->The first plan]].

It's now at noon. The hot air makes you thirsty, but you have little water. You have to make a choice where should you go for searching supplies. There is a dock nearby which has been abandoned for a long time. Some people said the old world built this dock and it might be dangerous. Another place is a small market. Although you have nothing to trade, you have a friend living there, and she might help you. [[Dock->The old dock]] [[Market->Small market]]

You arrive the dock. The metal surface is reflecting the sunlight. Although the surface is covered by dust, people can't build this kind of metal buildings nowadays. You open the door, and it is a lighted room. There are many screens on the wall monitoring outside world. When you look around the apparatus, suddenly, the room darken. All sirens make loud sounds, and all screens turn [[red->The coming of burning light]].

You meet with your friend, Nozomi. The last time you met her was a month ago. Although it wasn't a long time, every time you met with her might be the last time. She gives you some foods and water and chatted with you. At the same time, the [[burning light has appeared->Shelter]]

You don't know what just happend. At the same time, some apparatus stop functions. Two water tanks raise from the ground. One tank is fulled only by liquild and there is a man with white coat in another tank. The man is recovering and opens his eyes. The liquild in the tank disappears and the man open his tank going in front of the screens. "It's aurora...War is not over...", the man says. "Who you are? Why are you here?", the man turns to you. [[I'm a Staff->Doubt]] [[I'm just a Wanderer->Your identity]]

"So you are a staff here. Okay, my name is Adam. As you see, I've slept in the tank for many years. Could you tell me what happend in these years?" The man says. "Also, you need not worry about the aurora. This dock is also a shelter and aurora won't destroy this place.", the man closes the door by controlling terminals. You tell him how people living with the fear and how hard they survive. "Wait, you call aurora 'burning light'? Uhh... Do you know the name of our company?" [[Yes, of course... The name is...->guess]] [[I'm sorry. I'm just a wanderer...->fine]]

"You mean you are a wanderer just searching for supplies?", he is confused. The man turns to the terminal and the screen shows lots of images and graphs. "It looks like you are not lying...In these years, the world has changed a lot. Could you please tell me what you know about the world?", the man turns to you. "I'm sorry. My name is [[Adam->Facing the past]]."

You tell him how people living with the fear and how hard they survive. "Aurora has been functioned for so many years and destroy so many things?", Adam bows his head. You can hear his wheezing and his sweat falling to the ground. After a while, Adam relaxes himself"I'm sorry...It's hard to believe aurora has been used for so many years and in this way." "I'm a scientist of a company, called 'Haze'. About a thousand years ago, people had strong technologies and nobody needed to worry about supplies. Even though people had nothing to worry about living their own lives, scientists had problems exploring space. That was the begining of this war." "The world became stagnant. People just repeated their lives over and over again. There was no changes with people's lives. They could predict weather, travel virtually, buy whatever they want. That sounds good, right? But people still persued changes, and it caused the war. At first, in order to draw people's attention from the stagant societies, medias started to report propaganda news about foreign countries. People immersed in hostility day after day. As a result, the war [[began->Haze]]."

Adam says "I'm a scientist of a company, called 'Haze'. About a thousand years ago, people had strong technologies and nobody needed to worry about supplies. Even though people had nothing to worry about living their own lives, scientists had problems exploring space. That was the begining of this war". "The world became stagnant.

But people still persued changes, and it caused the war. At first, in order to draw people's attention from the stagant societies, medias started to report propaganda news about foreign countries. People immersed in hostility day after day. As a result, the war [[began->Haze]]."

"Before the war, my country had established a company called 'Haze'.This company was focusing on developing weapons. At first, the main goal is developing high-tech weapons to defend invaders. That's why I joint this company. But afterward, the government asked us to develop space weapons." "When I reveived this command, I couldn't accept it. They not only want to burn the land, they even want to burn the sky and space. Because of that, executives gave me a new job. Maintaining this dock. A dock nobody would come and use." "It was my fault...If I did something to stop the developing of space weapons, maybe I could stop them using aurora and aurora wouldn't kill so many people..." [[It was not your fault. The government and the company were wrong.->ND]] [[Right, you might be able to change that. But it had happend and we should think about how to stop the burning light now.->ND]] [[Yes, you had the chance to stop them but you did nothing.->D]]

Adam looks at you "Are you sure? It's very dangerous to do it." You still want to go with him. Then you and Adam take the supplies you will need and go out the dock. The burning light has disappeared for a while, but the air is hotter due to that. Suddenly, you see the small market is destoryed. Adam and you run to the market, and the market has been a ruin. Although you are worried about your friend, Nozomi, the only thing you can do is [[praying->The journey to the headquarter]].

The burning light is coming, the bell rings. With the help of guards, you and Nozomi come to a shelter. Although you have come to this market for several times, you don't know that there is a shelter nearby. Nozomi tells you that this place was found by a strange man recently. But [[the man->The locked door]] left this place after telling that.

The burning light is coming, and the ground is shaking. All the screens turn red. After a while, screens turn green and ground stop shaking. Everyone is relieved. Another thing happens. When people want to open the door, the door is locked. The screen shows a "Lock" signal. You need to find out something to open the door. [[The card on a table->can't open(card)]] [[The crowbar in a corner->can't open(crowbar)]]

You and Nozomi come back to the small market The burning light has gone for a while Only the wrecked buildings and sporadic burning woods remain Suddenly, you have a headache The severe pain makes you falling into a [[coma->A dream from a long time ago]]

It's a dream about a long time ago. You and Nozomi were best friends and often played together In one night, you and her were tired after playing. You and she lay on the ground near a river. Looking at the starry sky, everything was still at that moment. The burning light fell from the sky illuminating the starry sky. The starlight [[disappeared->Your future]].

Nozomi and you bowed your heads looking at the burning light through the muddy river The burning light was too bright for people to look Nozomi was scared and cried, "That might kill us at anytime. How can we survive in this world?" [[I want to live with you until the last moment->Promise]] [[Let's find out how to defeat the light!->New beginning]]

You recover from the coma "Unfamiliar ceiling..." Nozomi sits on the chair next to you She looks tired Nozomi looks at you "How do you feel now? Wait a moment, let me call the doctor." You get up from the bed "I'm all right. It's just... That scene makes me uncomfortable." Nozomi comes and helps you to sit on the bed Even though many years passed, you and Nozomi still stayed the same Looking at her: I'm sorry I shouldn't leave you for such a long time... I want to live with you to the [[last moment->Unknown future]].

You recover from the coma "Unfamiliar ceiling..." Nozomi sits on the chair next to you She looks tired Nozomi looks at you "How do you feel now? Wait a moment, let me call the doctor." You get up from the bed "I'm all right. It's just... That scene makes me uncomfortable." Nozomi comes and helps you to sit on the bed You look at her and say: Let's find out how to defeat those beam. She laughs, "It's surprised you still thinking about that. For these years, nobody could find out how to solve this question. But, I believe you. Although we might not find out the solution, at least [[we->The strange man]] may find out some clues."

You and Nozomi begin your new life from the ruin Although the burning light still exists, you will live with her until the last moment The time being with her is priceless in this cruel world

You and Nozomi start your journey. The only clue connecting to ancient technology is the strange man who told them the shelter You and Nozomi begin the journey looking for the information about the man. The only feature of the man is his cloth, his [[white coat->Relic]], which is conspicuous.

You and Nozomi have arrived a relic. Based on the information from stangers, the last place the man appears is here. Going into the ruin, there are some unusual holes which are dug by people Entering the holes, you and Adam find out some rooms which have been used recently Even though you are nervous, you and Nozomi continue to search this [[ruin->Unknown corpses]]

Based on the data from the terminal, you and Adam know the direction of the headquarter Many years passed. The landform had changed a lot compared to the war. In this journey, you have heard about many strangers says that they have seen a man looks like Adam wearing a white coat. But you and Adam do not know who he is. With the help of other strangers, you and Adam reach the relic of the [[headquarter->headquarter]].

You and Adam have arrived the location of the headquarter of Haze. Going into the ruin, there are some unusual holes which are dug by people Entering the holes, you and Adam find out some rooms which have been used recently Even though you are nervous, you and Adam continue to search this [[ruin->"Old friend"]]

When you and Adam reach the deepest lab, there is a man, wearing the same white coat as Adam's, standing in front of a screen The man turns back and laughs "Do you remember me? Allan." Suddenly, Adam has severe headaches. You look at the man: You might misunderstand who he is. He is Adam, not Allan. The man looks disappointed "Okay...You're Adam now. I was wrong. I shouldn't overestimate your ability. It looks like you have forgotten your best friend, and you even take away the name from your best friend." Adam looks very painful and sweats a lot. "Davis...Why are you here?" Davis laughs again "It looks like you know nothing. Do you know who wakes you up? It's me. Your [[old friend->Unknown past]]."

Davis tells you and "Adam" the truth. "I was one college of 'Adam'. Although I knew 'Adma' had talent, I didn't agree with "Adam"'s proposition that Haze shouldn't develop space weapons." "It was impossible for us to win the war. So I set upped the program of aurora. I used aurora destroyed many places including the headquarter. Nobody could control aurora after destroying this place except me. That was why I could be safe all these years." "I froze myself at a safe place and waked himself up by using the burning light. Before freezing, I set upped the target location for next hundreds years. That was how I could recover before "Adam". I also checked the situation of the dock once before." "That was why some people would know Davis.", you realize that. "We had no chance to win that war. But this time, it is different. Come with me, 'Adam'. If you can help me, we can unite all people without killing anyone for this time! We can bring this world [[real peace->The future]]."

"Adam" is perplexed. Even though they may use the burning light to unite all people, they unite people by the fear. Besides that, the burning light has killed many people in many years. "Adam" looks at you. [[He is Unforgivable. We shouldn't listen to him->The dusty world]] [[That's necessary sacrifice. It might be the only way to longer peace.->Union]]

(if: $die is "0")[You rush toward Davis, and Adam takes out his gun. Davis doesn't move and presses a button. You are shot by the defense system. "Adam" shots towards Davis for several times. Davis falls to the ground without any words. "Adam" turns off aurora and takes you get out of this place. There is no more aurora. People can survive without the fear of burning light. But one day, aurora might appear again by people's hands from this dusty world.] (if: $die is "1")[You rush toward Davis, and Adam takes out his gun. Davis doesn't move and presses a button. You are shot by the defense system. "Adam" shots towards Davis for several times. Davis falls to the ground without any words. While "Adam" goes to the terminal, the defense system shots him. But he continues to turn off the burning light and defense systems. Before he falls into a coma, he takes you out of this place. When you open your eyes, Adam has died next to you. You buries him, and continue to live in this dusty world. There is no more aurora. People can survive without the fear of burning light. But one day, aurora might appear again by people's hands from this dusty world.]

At first, some people fought against Davis. But soon, they were disappeared. They unite all people under the fear of the burning light Although many people are afraid of Davis, Davis and Adam shares their knowledge to all people. With higher life quality, fewer and fewer people complain about the past. You come back to your normal life, with the rewards from Davis. Coming back to the small market, you find out your friend Nozomi.

Going into the ruin, when you and Nozomi reach the deapest room, there are two corpses on the ground. Both corpses are men and wearing white coats. Behind one corpse, there is a terminal which can control the space weapons. The only thing you need to do is pressing the [[button->New world]].

You and Nozomi achieve your goal There is no more burning light. People don't need to live with the fear anymore. People will build up the civilizations once again by themselves

Adam laughs"Alright. To be hoest, you don't have to answer the question. I guess you are not belong to this place, and I just want to make sure of it." "As the terminal shows, I've slept at this place for nearly a thousand years and there are many things I don't know. At this point, thank you for your information. I guess you might have a lots questions about me and this place. I guess you have many questiones about me and this place, right?", he says. [[Yes->Dull world]]

"It's fine. The terminal shows that I've slept at here for nearly a thousand years. If there are staffs maintain this dock, that's weird.", Adam laughs. He says "Thank you for telling me the information about the world. I guess you might have many questions about who I am and why I am [[here->Dull world]]ght?"

(set: $die to "1") Adam looks up to you "You...you're right. Staying at here can't change anything. I should find out how to stop the aurora..." [[I'll go with you->The first step in new world]] [[I hope you can do it.->Tomorrow and tomorrow]]

(set: $die to "0") Adam is trembling slightly "You're right. That was my fault. I didn't try to stop them." Then he looks up "The only thing I can do is to find out how to stop aurora." [[I'll go with you->The first step in new world]] [[I hope you can do it.->Tomorrow and tomorrow]]

Adam says "Thank you. I need to do what I need to do now. Here are some supplies you might need." He gives you some foods and water. Before you go, Adam says"Thank you for all you've done. I'll try my best to find out the solution. Please take care." Going out of the dock, the air is hot. You continue your own journey. The burning light doesn't stop. Sometimes burning light will remind you of Adam. "Where is he now?"

The card doesn't work. [[The crowbar in a corner->Open]]

The crowbar doesn't work. [[The card on a table->Open]]

It doesn't work. You look at the screen and the "Locked" signal is still at there. It looks like you can't open this door inside this shelter. After a while, the door [[opens->Ruin]].

Nozomi bows her head "I'm glad to hear that. That's what I want. But I've seen too many people suffering due to the burning light. Although I know it's maybe imporssible to find out a solution to that, I still want to do it." [[I'll help you if you want to do it.->The strange man]] [[*You take her hands* I want to support you, but it's too dangerous. I don't want to lose you.->The same sky]]
