a parallel dimension...

In a parallel dimension, the eon Sun in the System of Sol glistens over Maharlika City, a strategic metropolis in a continent of planet Erthe. It is another morning in the year 2276 for its 3 million inhabitants, considerably among the largest urban areas by 23rd century Erthean standards. The city is an eclectic profusion of newly evolved Ertheans aggrupating from the various continents of the planet, and of interstellar representatives as well. With other metropolises, it is a pilot area for the immersion phase program of Erthe Federation and the Confederacy of Interstellar Citizens (CIC). The city is a virtual melting pot of intergalactic cultures with 4th Dimensional and 5D-evolving SUPERbeings.

Grand Old Man, intimately referred by the local inhabitants to a nearby volcanic mountain, is a silent witness to the growth of the populace. Rising from the terrain ranges of the city’s backdrop, the forests below its revered peaks reflect the early morning sprinkles as they slowly roll down the landscape and into the gulf boundaries of the sea. The evergreen blanket surrounding the city, its profusion of flora and fauna with remarkable species once dubbed endangered yet reviving to a healthy population, attests the success of a conservation program implemented by Erthean ancestors centuries ago and have since survived even after the Great Upheaval (GU).

Nesting above a large stately tree, a certain eagle awakens with the knock of sunlight. Readying the magnificent spread of his wings, he soars above the verdant canopy and dodges over magnificent towers. The eagle inspects his vast territory, which includes, to the amusement of Maharlikan residents, the city suburbs. Researchers concluded that from his otherwise wild nature, the genetic makeup recorded his lineage to an ancestor that was once reared by an early conservation institution more than 200 years ago. The ancestor’s attachment to her human caretakers may have its effect on the species’ evolutionary process and have considerably manifested the characteristics to her offspring, resulting to, as the inhabitants fondly called, a more “civilized” behavior.

Local inhabitants responded by providing the adopted eagle with strategic feeding sites above their towering habitations. The diet is composed of high protein vegetable mixture prepared from hydroponics farms, organically synthesized with the taste and texture of real meat. The inhabitants officially named their eagle as Kinabukasan, meaning “Future.”

Consistent with city ordinance requiring its inhabitants to eventually adopt the vegetarian diet, it also responds to postGU ecological condition and synchronicity of interstellar cultures especially sensitive to bioplasmic emission quality. The 2nd phase of the Confederacy program, after the initial completion of the first phase with the revitalization of endemic Erthean ecosystem, immerses the newly evolved Erthean species to the Cultural Complex of 4D and 5D-evolving citizens of the Confederacy with gravitational interaction belonging to the Milky Cluster. The populace is no longer distinguished by geographic nationality, and is now unified with Interstellar Confederacy classification as “Erthe Citizens”.
