  2. [Unknown Symbolic Building, former Atlantean continent, future Asian ocean]
  3.  
  4. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  5.  
  6. Crowds gather around the centerpiece of the Atlantean society, the very symbol of the culture itself. A very important figure stands at the podium; millions of people stand at the foot of the centre-building.
  7.  
  8.  
  9. (Zeus): My fellow Atlanteans, thank you for gathering here today! I am here to present a remarkable new creation that will benefit our society at large, and the world as a whole! May I present.....
  10.  
  11.  
  12. A platform behind the speaker rises up from a set of doors on the ground; a large dark figure can be seen covered up on the platform. It finally comes to a stop once it's level with the rest of the ground.
  13.  
  14.  
  15. (Zeus): The Gyaos!
  16.  
  17.  
  18. At this signal, the covers drop down to the ground; the revealed figure spreads its wings and shrieks for all to see. It looks exactly like the Betas that would be encountered in the modern day. At first, the people are hesitant, but one person begins clapping, and soon the rest begin to clap and cheer as well.
  19.  
  20.  
  21. (Zeus): Alright, alright, settle down. Please allow me to usher in on the magnificence of this beast.
  22.  
  23.  
  24. After the crowd settles down, the speaker walks away from the podium and up to the creature, putting his hand up as the animal lowers its head to allow him to pet it.
  25.  
  26.  
  27. (Zeus): This creature is what we call a Gyaos. As you all can tell, it is quite docile, for we've engineered this being to be obedient to Atlanteans. Now, I know what you're thinking.... Why exactly is it so important? Well, I think it best if I show you instead. NOW!
  28.  
  29.  
  30. The speaker shouts out another signal, and another platform rises, revealing a large black mass of putrid sludge; the crowd becomes rather visibly disgusted at the pile of filth.
  31.  
  32.  
  33. (Zeus): I realize this is a very putrid and disgusting mass of pollution, my fellow Atlanteans, but please stay. We will now witness the purpose of the Gyaos.
  34.  
  35.  
  36. The Gyaos walks up to the pile of sludge, smelling it a bit before promptly devouring the refuse swiftly, leaving no trace of the pollution after it finishes feeding.
  37.  
  38.  
  39. (Zeus): As you can see, the Gyaos are engineered cleaning organisms. Recently, we have been experiencing a great deal of problems with pollution, but now we have a solution! The Gyaos will feed on any and all waste, cleaning up our many cities and colonies! What say you, Atlantis?
  40.  
  41.  
  42. The crowds cheer after the speaker's speech, and the Gyaos shrieks once more into the sky before flying upwards. Several other platforms rise from the ground behind the podium, and from, other Gyaos fly out to join their brethren; they circle in the sky above the Atlantean city in perfect formation.
  43.  
  44. Nearly the entirety of the crowd is celebrating, all except one disgruntled bearded man.
  45.  
  46.  
  47. (Zeus): My people, everything is under control!
  48.  
  49.  
  50. The crowds begin chanting.
  51.  
  52.  
  53. (Crowd): Indeed! Under control!

  63.  
  64. In an underground bunker, the disgruntled bearded man from the crowd is tinkering with several pieces of Atlantean technology; in particular is a large tank filled with an unknown liquid and a small mass of organic matter. On a wall beside the man, a piece of parchment shows what looks to be blueprints and an anatomical understudy of a humanoid creature with tentacles sprouting from its back and sides, a pointed mouth-less head, blade-like arms, large protruding points sticking out of its shoulders, a very heavily spiked back, and a large sack on it chest.d a large sack on it chest.
