It is March 15, in the year 2514. The people of former New York are in desperate circumstances. They are being overrun, and they
are losing hope. The banners proclaiming a Free the Real NYC lie in the gutters, trampled by terrified and panicked citizens. Two teens– or kidz, as they are called now– are on their way home from a secret meeting. As they walk in the shadows to avoid detection, they both trip on a huge titanium cylinder. Etched into the surface are a series of scratched-out words. The only words they can make out are, "he will prevail." They drag the heavy cylinder into a hidden alleyway and twist it open. The glow from their flashlights reveals the contents of the cylinder. With gasps of relief, they look at each other with hope in their eyes for the first time in years.
Two teens were coming over from a secret meeting. They were Jess and Elijah they were worried about what would happen to them if they got caught at night especially since they've been going to secret meetings to save NYC. They were walking home when they came across a surface with words. The words read ''he will prevail'', They wondered who the message was talking about. Beside that message was a huge titanium tube. They dragged it with them into a secluded tunnel and opened it. They opened the cylinder and found contents in it that brought them hope to saving New York. They had hope. In the cylinder was a bunch of things to help them. There was a list of steps and a message from anonymous telling them that he knew what would happen and made that cylinder to help whoever found it to save the city.
On March 15, 2014, the residents of New York City buried a time capsule. Their hope was that on March 15, 2114, it would be opened and the future residents of NYC would see what life was like 100 years in the past.
Locked away in the titanium cylinder were important artifacts from the present day. The objects were chosen by citizens from all walks of life and professions: librarians, teens, computer programmers, medical professionals, research scientists, gardeners, biologists, and more.
Etched onto the surface of the time capsule were the words of a famous author, William Faulkner: "I believe that man will not merely endure. He will prevail .....because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance."
The capsule was buried with much hope for the future.
Sadly, things didn’t turn out as they had hoped.
By March 15, 2514, New York had become a desperate place. Something big had changed. The city was in near ruins. Citizens were terrified.
Two teens, as they were called now – were on their way home from a secret meeting. As they walked in the shadows to avoid detection, they tripped on a huge titanium cylinder. Etched into the surface were a series of scratched-out words. The only words they could make out were, "He will prevail."
The kidz dragged the heavy cylinder into a hidden alleyway and twisted it open. The glow from their flashlights revealed what was inside. With gasps of relief, they looked at each other with hope in their eyes for the first time in years. It was an article from 2505! They discovered that it was written about how the leader of the formerly NYC was planning to build a machine that could wipe out the entire city! They rushed back to the secret base of the Free the Real NYC resistance. They put the container on the table. Now that it was in better lighting, they could read the rest of the etchings. They read ψοφώ, Greek for "I'm dying." They learn that the etching was written by the founder of the resistance, Henry Gihigal. He wrote it when the leader of the Cultists, Tabea Thomas, was torturing him with methods unheard of. He wrote the "He will prevail" section speaking of the resistance. The "ψοφώ" was to tell the resistance to choose a new leader. They started planning their attack to make sure that the machine was destroyed.
