Let me explain if you were trying to figure out what the President was looking at right now. The President focused his attention on a spaceship, and more precisely, an alien spaceship.
The spacecraft's exterior shape and size suggest a combination of functionality and aerodynamic efficiency, optimized for interstellar exploration. The spacecraft was relatively compact, resembling a sleek and elongated teardrop shape. It had a length of approximately 15 feet (4.5 meters) and a maximum width of 8 feet (2.4 meters). This small size seemed to be made to allow maneuverability and easy navigation through different spatial environments.
The outer hull of the craft seemed to be constructed from an advanced, lightweight yet durable material that possessed a smooth, metallic sheen. It appeared to have a seamless, unbroken surface, hinting at advanced manufacturing techniques and materials beyond the current technological capabilities known to most of mankind.
The craft's form featured a perfect blend of gentle curves and angular elements. The front section tapered smoothly to a pointed nose, while the aft section gradually widened, providing stability and housing essential components.
Instead of traditional wings or protrusions, the craft's design emphasized a streamlined profile to minimize atmospheric resistance and optimize speed. The absence of visible engines or propulsion systems suggests an integration of advanced propulsion technology, potentially concealed within the hull itself. On the craft's exterior, one could notice the faint lines or patterns that indicate the presence of intricate systems and functionalities. These markings served as indicators for access points, sensor arrays or energy conduits, offering insight into the advanced engineering that drove the spacecraft's travel capabilities.
Now, the question was how and where did the President find it out and how come there was no record of it anywhere. Not in the books and nor in the internet. After the Berlin Wall fell, the President of Russia entered active politics. He gradually progressed through the ranks and benefited from his ties from his previous career as a Soviet spy.
But around 1994, he had heard of a report of an American jet been found in the mines near Norlisk. One or two of those in positions of authority at the time received the report, and since it was written by miners who had gone deep underground, practically all of them assumed it was a fake intended to alert St. Petersburg to this place on Earth that was a living hell.
But the current President at that time was intrigued and wanted to see what the whole deal was about. He went to Norlisk by himself because he wasn't yet a minister or a top official at the time. Soon after, he was taken to one of the mines, where the workers were overjoyed to meet a visitor from Petersburg.
The workers simply assumed the object to be an American airplane at the time because they were not very knowledgeable. The Soviet Union had recently fallen, and the world was in chaos. But the President saw something that completely blew his mind when he finally managed to enter the mine, despite much difficulty and mud in his face.
He could tell that this monster could never have been created by humans, even beneath all the nearby rocks and rubbish. Not in the next 500 years. He was aware that if word spread, he would either lose this crucial piece of information or even his life.
He congratulated the employees for their hard work and assured them of the capital's assistance. However, he had already begun to make arrangements. His thirst was sparked when he looked at the spaceship. He used poison to assassinate the employees who were truly aware of the discovery in the beginning in a covert manner.
Then he employed several gulag inmates and made them work in the mine while also building a sizable underground basement around the spaceship. These men were not permitted to leave the property and had no interaction with the outside world. Of course, he had them assassinated at the conclusion of the semester.
Of course, as he was advancing up the power ladder, everything was done secretly. He knew that having knowledge of the spacecraft wasn't enough, he needed power to secure the spaceship. Regarding the spaceship's information, he had exercised extreme caution. Along the years he even secretly got rid of the people who got hint of the report.
He promptly requested assistance from the top Russian experts after taking office in 2000 to help him unlock the spacecraft's secrets, but over time, nothing was discovered. But after repeated failures there was progress in one direction.
The nation's most renowned scientists and pilots were able to pilot the spacecraft. The President was quite happy about this and throughout the years he learnt to fly and operate the spacecraft. The pilot and the scientists were able to decrypt the most of the spaceship's flying secrets, although this was obviously only possible within the confines of this enormous basement.
The only thing they were able to learn was that this spaceship was capable of traveling faster than the speed of light. The President was grateful to the stars for making the lengthy trip simply for his curiosity because the scientists had previously analyzed that. Of course, the president also took steps to prevent the spread of any such comments.
He had hired some Soviet space scientists at that time and after some years when he came to know that even in the coming future it was almost impossible to decode the technology because the laws of physics they currently had wasn't enough to solve the problem he had them killed.
He had already forced them to live in complete isolation, never allowing them to interact with any electronic devices or visit the city for leisure. To carry supplies and meals to the basement where these scientists and pilots resided, he had hired a few employees.
It was basically a luxury prison, only in this case, they were accompanied by an alien spacecraft. Around 2010, he made the decision to discreetly kill everyone involved in the project while keeping it a secret. By now, he had also taken the decision to permit the construction of a factory on top of the basement.
Of course, he implemented the required security measures to prevent anybody from looking around the basement, engaged contractors who wouldn't interrogate him, and constructed an entry through the factory's restroom. In order to prevent anyone from being here for a long time and becoming interested in the basement, he completed this slowly over the course of several years and used numerous contractors along the way.
He would go to the city once or twice a year and check on his "baby" in the basement. Because of the carbon dating near the site where it was discovered and buried under, scientists estimated that the spaceship was at least 15000 years old.
He used to come by at night and in secret on each of his visits to marvel at this wonder, but not today. He had a reason for coming today. This "baby" of his was going to aid him in overcoming his troubles.
"You wanted to catch me? Ha,.. In your dreams." The President said as he ascended to the spacecraft's pilot seat. The President had been in the restroom for two minutes, and the guards were becoming restless.
The guards decided to check on the President in the restroom after deliberating for the fourth minute. Only to hear a very small whirling sound coming from inside the toilet. Because of the excessive production noise, it was initially quite low and not audible to everyone.
Before they could comprehend what was happening, there was a violent earthquake nearby, and the floor where they were standing crumbled out of the blue. The guards initially made every effort to halt their abrupt collapse, but soon the factory pillars began to sag beneath the weight.
The factory's rooftop quickly collapsed, causing havoc all around as people became trapped or were crushed by the weight. The nightmare, however, was far from over. A massive aircraft propelled out of the earth from the factory's little collapsed part while firing lasers from the ship's front hood.
Only those who were a little distance from the factory could see this. However, the drama wasn't done yet. Four soldiers holding guns and donning a red armor suit emerged out of nowhere. They began firing at the spaceship. The spaceship appeared to have noticed those men with red weapons and fired laser cannons at them.
The red-armed individuals had to scurry about to avoid being shot in order to survive. They did this and went back to being invisible. The spaceship hovered for a few seconds before turning its direction towards the sky and fly away.
"Come in, Metal hawk. Come in Metal Hawk. We have an emergency. The Pigeon has escaped. I repeat the Pigeon has escaped."
".."
"How the fuck can the Pigeon escape?"
"We.. We don't know. He seems to have acquired a spaceship that came out from inside the factory and the ship had laser guns more hotter than ours."
