P R O L O G U E​

LOCATION: DISTRICT GAEL​

DATE: QUIRTIA 25, AE 47

For any other district, it is merely another ordinary day that shall pass. But not for District Gael - despite the continuance of its regular routine, a notable change has occurred in the district, with the promise of more and greater ones to emerge in the coming days.

"Welcome to Gael, Remnants from other districts! Remember to keep your visitor IDs within your possession at all times. Secure your identification and inter-district visitation documents safe and secure. This public reminder is brought to you by..."​

An automated voice replays the same message over and over again at specific intervals, resonating from numerous government-owned PA systems scattered all over District Gael. In addition to this, posters and flyers bearing the District President's image and a welcoming message could be found from one street to another. Screens all over the district occasionally play out a commercial where the District President says a welcoming the visitors from other districts with a speech.

The reason behind such could be easily found on the front page of a newspaper, or even simply by browsing the ARKive, the most prominent social media platform in the entirety of ARK:

District Gael is temporarily easing up on its inter-border travel restrictions and has invited people from all over ARK to visit it to celebrate the 50th birthday of its leader, District President Marcus Gavid Augustia III, which would be held on the 30th of Quirtia, AE 47. A glorious bundle of festive activities will be held for the occasion, which begins on the 28th of Quirita, AE 47.​

Ambitious Remnants seeking to gain profit were quick to act upon hearing such news, which has consequentially inspired a great many to head onto District Gael and partake in its promised festivities, if not to take a chance at the district's treasure trove of opportunities. The great mass of people that desired to enter District Gael's borders for a myriad of agendas has caused an influx of inter-district affairs that exceeded the predictions of many researchers.

Fortunately, with the aid of numerous private companies, there were very few issues that surfaced, regarding the district's foreign affairs, specifically on the entry of non-natives.

Thanks to the glorious breakthroughs in the field of environmental Manatech, ARK is graced with vivid daylight, as morning turns to noon. Accompanying this luminosity is a slightly intensified heat that is present in all of ARK's districts, with the sole exception of District Glaikir due to its specialized weather conditions. Warm winds blow through the districts, marking the start of the day's second half.

The ever-busy workers of the district have begun to punch their cards for lunch, as numerous food outlets started to be filled by a mass of Remnants that surpassed its usual service count. People from varying origins and different walks of life fill the once spacious streets of District Gael, bringing a rather notable increase of activity to "the district that never sleeps".

The people's excitement for the promised festivities had become more evident as the promised days grew closer and closer. Three more days, some would say. It won't be long now, a few would mutter. The general populace awaits in anticipation - and only time can tell if their patience will bear a savory fruit or a terrible surprise.
