The Arkology was built with two goals in mind: preserve the biodiversity of the earth, but also as a long term experiment on evolution in splendid isolation. The Arkology had bee essentially the only thing that the two Great Powers of the Earth ever came to an agreement on. They were constantly at one another's throats, threatening to grind each other into dust at the slightest transgression. Both had long ago fled the earth for the wild mining colonies of the Moon, half-terraformed Mars, the vast arcologies and bunkers of Venus, or the innumerable Jovian Moons. However, even these were growing crowded by this point-- thus, mankind is making his first true forays between the stars. Even with these respites and population dumps, the earth remained an over-populated powder keg. Megacities stretch from Boston to Washington, from Dehli to Agra, from Moscow to Novgorod. Countless wild species went extinct on the earth, preserved only in genetic laboratories. One would think the bloated uber-corporatist elite would not trouble themselves with this shameful state of ecological affairs. However, an overwhelming feeling of Terran nationalism has accompanied mans expansion across the Cosmos-- after all, it would be slightly embarrassing upon First Contact to be holding up a dead planet as their home. A summit was held between the two great powers, and they came to a mutual agreement: In the empty, largely neutral territory of Antarctica, a massive construction, the largest structure in the history of mankind, would be built. Two hundred and twenty-five thousand square miles, a kilometer tall, with ten below. A vast glass dome, lit by inner lights in the dead of winter, would stand as a testament amongst the snows of the Antarctic to how far man had come-- from a puppet at the mercy of the nature, he had built his own world, albeit a much smaller version. Thousands of workers, engineers nad scientists built the place, and made a solemn promise: For a million years, they would be frozen, awoken on occasion to inspect the facility. Parades were held for these men- sacrificing their lives, for all intents and purposes, in the pursuit of knowledge and neutrality. Along with a multinational Board of Directors, these men would be plunged into the ice. The next time the Board would come out would be ten thousand years away. There was a slight twist, however: this was a scientific operation. If they introduced some strange, unknown animal like the fabled "deer", or an "Opposum" whatever that was, from the genetic archives, their would be too many variables that coud throw the experiment into jeopardy. So, they drew from a source of animals that they were certain they knew all there was to know about: Model testing animals. However, as is often the case, what could go wrong did go wrong. Mankind obliterated himself on Earth, and tried his darndest elsewhere, for reasons far removed from our present world. Strange, reality-bending weapons of war interfered with the systems. While the lighting, the fusion reactors, and most of the subsystems continued to function, some did not. That included the Cryostasis chambers. In the isolation of the Antarctic snow, the Arkology chugged along, it's denizens evolving and adapting to the decaying landscape. And then, 98 million years after its building, the system decided that it was time to let those volunteers go. And they were released, into a strange new world...

It's basically like the earth on Avatar. Most extant fauna was genetically engineered escapees or city dwelling creatures. |

The Creepozoids Spoiler: click to toggle Slowly, quietly creeping amongst the towering trees of the Arkology, quietly watching through their red eyes, are the Creepozoids. When the awakened and disoriented Scientists first poked their heads out of the catacombs that run for miles beneath the Arkology, they were met by the dull red eyes of a Creepozoid, complacently munching leaves. Like all other creatures in the Arkology, these found their origins with the Model Testing Animals of old civilization. Lab mice. That Lab Mice have so adapted to life in the trees is somewhat surprising- after all, one would think that, say, the Rhesus Monkey, which is already an arboreal dweller, would be better suited to taking over the canopies of the Arkology. However, in the Arkolgoy, most of the descendants of the Rhesus developed into far more anthropoidal, humanesque bauplans. Though arboreal forms do exist, they are fast-moving, often insectivorous, and rarely exclusively arboreal. This opened up the niche for purely arboreal herbivores, like the sloth or the koala bear. As always, mice were extremely adaptable. When released, they spread to every corner of the Arkology in under a year. Extremely successful generalists, they persevered during the ecological die off that occurred at the disappearance of their human attendants, allowing them to occupy a wide number of herbivorous niches. Utilizing their sharp claws, new albino subspecies were living amongst the trees and diverging from other lab mice. From this vantage, they could complacently and ignorantly watch as superweapons drove man to extinction on earth, safe behind their glass dome. Spoiler: click to toggle These original arboreal mice would, over time, mutate and adapt into a form about as similar to their ancestors as a shrew is to a man. Their bodies are long, sinewy, but also covered in a thick layer of fat acquired by their ceaseless eating. Their muzzles are shortened, and they have optimized their teeth for grinding plant vegetation. This includes a queer (yet very common amongst Arkish rodents) adapation of their incisors, into something of a "pseudo-beak". This allows them to grind vegetation, but also to specifically pick leaves out of trees with precision. Spoiler: click to toggle Though they are certainly very different from their ancestors, they are not utterly so. As mentioned before, they still have their incisors, albeit very derived. They still maintain the traits of albinism, with a silky white coat and red eyes. Perhaps it is due to the harsh bright summers, when the shining of both the Arkology's lights and the Antarctic Sun can be unbelievably bright, reflected off the snow. Many species have rather odder developments, that have not come about as a result of natural selection. Many of the model testing animals released into the Arkology were already used in strange genetic experiments. Extra limbs, strange growths and behaviors, bioluminescence- these and more are not unknown among Creepozoids. Like the sloth or koala, Creepozoids are extremely docile. Their niche was so utterly assured that their was little reason to develop extraordinary defense measures. This made them easy pickings for the Scientists who emerged from long-term cryostasis. These scientists, who were all too well-educated on ecology and what happens when human populations enter a new environment, and find a dull species who has no experience with human hunters. They created many rules and regulations on hunting, to allow them maximal time to reproduce and adapt. However, within three generations, as people quickly forgot their scientific past, these shifted into superstitions and taboos, which were twisted and reinterpreted by the savage, brutish culture that came to inhabit the Arkology. At one point, there were Creepozoids the size of an Orangutang. Now, the largest barely reaches the size of a sloth. Below are a selection of some of these survivors. Creeper (Creeporis lacerta) The Creeper (or "True Creepozoid") is the most common Creepozoid extant. It is small, only slightly larger than a squirrel, and is far faster than other Creepozoids. While it does, like the rest of them, spend most of its days slothishly creeping through the canopy, if threatened, it will quickly scurry away. This, and a very fast rate of breeding, are essentially its only defense mechanism, with its limbs being too derived for defense, and its beak too short for any extensive biting. Glowing Creepozoid (Lacerto phosphor) Another method by which creatures often survive is communalism. Cooperation can maximize food production, create an early warning system for the group, and allow weak individuals to come together, and assemble a whole greater than its component parts. This is observed among the Glowing Creepozoids. They gather together in large arboreal nesting colonies, where food is shared, and mutual defense is assured by males who's sexual dimorphism optimises for combat. Women forage, men stay home to defend. Even pups play a role, though- they keep watch alongside the adult males. The Glowing Creepozoids have a unique means of communication. Like all Creepozoids, they are eternally silent. To compensate, they communicate via an artifact of genetic engineering: bioluminescence. They contain bioluminescent genes inserted into primordial mice, and have adapted it to such an extent that their back is covered in specializded cells that can change color and lighting in an instant. A whole new method of communication has arisen, infinitely compplex, and utterly incomprehensible to beings without similar adaptions. One watcher can silently signal an approaching human, and within moments, the whole nest can flee. [/i] Spoiler: click to toggle Vacantiids (Vacantum audiorum) Another legacy of an era where men threw caution to the wind, and in his own hubris, created bizarre monsters. Like this weird fucking thing. The Earnest is named for the gigantic human ear it has on its back. These are descended from something resembling a Vacanti mouse, but created via genetic engineering rather than a parlor trick with bovine cartilage. [/i] Spoiler: click to toggle It is difficult to speculate why exactly mice were made with human ears on their backs, millions of years removed, so we are forced to guess. We can only assume that people lost, like, a lot of ears in the past, thus nessecatating the growth of human ears on lab mice for commercial consumption. Or maybe it was all a big joke. The remaining records are somewhat unclear. Whatever the case, they made these Vacatiid Mice, and saw fit to release them into the wild woods, jungles, deserts and tundras of the Arkology. Initially, the ear component was likely more of a hinderance then a help, an unwelcome mutation that would surely be bred out as they mated with purer strains of mice. At this point, it is unknown if Vacatiid mice merged with the Creepozoid and other rodent populations, or if they formed their own subspecies which merged with the Creepozoids fairly late. This latter hypothesis would explain how the ears became so derived, but it also makes it seem doubtful that they would've been able to then admix with proto-Creepozoids. Regardless, at some point, either within or without the Creepozoid lines, the ear began to grow highly derived. Now, that is not to say it was not naturally extremely derived. It seems that the ear was already designed with its own miniature circulatory and nervous system- essentially, the only connection between the mouse and ear (aside from physical connection) was that the mouse donated certain vital chemicals and components whilst recieving nothing in return. The ear was a genetically human sessile parasite. At some point in Vacantiid evolution, the nervous system between the ear and the Creepozoid/ Mouse formed a connection. The formerly useless apparattuses within the ear suddenly came into function, and the mouse could hear through the ear. This gave it quite an advantage, allowing it to pick up sounds from all around. Hanging from the trees, the massive ear would point directly at the ground, catching all sounds, allowing it to hear oncoming predators from miles away. This extreme awareness also allowed Vacantiid Creepozoids to even live on the ground, a rare feat for the helpless frail creatures. Another advantage granted to them by the ear which facilitated terrestrial living was a thick, cartilegenous shell. The ear is essentially a tumor, and it spread as far as it could. Thus, caritlage engulfs the whole back of the Creepozoid, making it a thick armadillo-like shell, and leaving only its underside hairy. Though there were many fossil Vacantiids, at the time of writing, only one extant species remains. However, it has since grown into a number of niches, and is one of the most succesful extant Creepozoids. Ironic, that only a mouse infused with man can foil him.

Life beyond the Arkology... The Midnight Sun Spoiler: click to toggle The Earth of 98 million years hence is a nigh unrecognizable place. Long ago, mankind feared that his industrial pollution and incautious advancement of technology would turn the planet into a hothouse, Venus-like world through a greenhouse effect. As the Anthropocene came to a close, mankind made a last-ditch effort to stop the warming of the planet. They succeeded more wildly than they could ever have imagined. Far from being an infernal hotbox, the earth of today is a runaway snowball. Great glaciers dominate the planet, freezing the seas down to a thousand feet. The average surface temperature across the planet is -74 degrees Fahrenheit-- at the poles, that temperature reaches as low as -198 degrees Fahrenheit. There are few distinguishable environments: most of the world is an endless barren icescape, silent save for the constant blowing wind. Every now and then, you may see a hump-- remnants of the Himalayas, or some anthropogenic mountains. Occasionally, one may see the tips of mankind’s primeval megacities. It is said that if one presses their head against the ice in these places, they can hear something rumbling in the depths. The hearts of man’s metropolises, still beating in vain. Then there are the poles. If you don’t have a compass, it is still easy to tell as you near them. The skies above you will grow darker and darker, and in the distance, titanic booms can be heard. Eventually, as you enter the twilit zone, you will set; an inconceivably tall glacier, blacker than a polar night, exuding black, booming clouds. At the poles, it grows cold enough for atmospheric carbon and particulate matter to sublimate and settle upon the top of the much more ancient water ice glacier. The exhaust of ten billion cars, factories, tractors, it all came to rest here. A monument to the hubris of man. As the seasons change and temperatures fluctuate, dry ice turns back to gas, sweeping out from the poles in great black clouds. This creates strange, silent thunderstorms that cast the land into a shadow. Lightning-less thunderclaps shatter icebergs from hundreds of miles. The heat these storms generate can ignite the great icebergs of methane clathrate that dot the landscape. Green flames lick towards a black sky from hissing icebergs. The world is not utterly glaciated. There are a few brief respites-- ancient volcanoes and tectonic fissures (the remnants of mankind’s geological superweapons), lakes of hypersaline water, remnants of atomic reactors, and, of course, the Arkology itself at the edge of the Antarctic glacier. But, for the most part, there is nothing but the ice. +++++++++ It may come as a surprise to see any signs of life on these desolate plateaus. But, there, in the distance, a light. First a faint blue glow, then a focused red beam, sweeping over the landscape. You may well come closer, entranced, wondering what could possibly by creating such an image. But, as you approach, the light dims, seemingly retract in on itself with every step you take. Dry ice comes down lightly. A thunderclap in the distance. Then, without warning, the light returns. It is focused on you, and it is blinding. You put your hand up to your face to block it out, and you become faintly aware that the intensity is such that it physically burns. You feel something brush your leg-- then it's a different sort of burning altogether. This is the Midnight Sun. If you were to approach the Midnight Sun in the day, things would go far more amicably. In form, the closest resemblance to the Midnight Sun would be some sort of shell-less snail. The back half of the creature is a long, trailing abdomen that comes up into something of a point, from which a retractable sail emerges, used to catch maximum sunlight.. The outer skin is slimy and slightly transparent, allowing a faint image of the creature inner workings to be seen. The creature moves by hundreds of tiny flagellae on the bottom of abdomen, in addition to several dozen longer whip-like tentacles along the flank. These whip wipe tentacles are constantly lapping the ground, and touching up against the side of the abdomen. Towards the end, the abdomen curves down to the ground only for it to sweep back up in a graceful arch. This is the neck of the Midnight Sun, and upon it the head is borne. The head is a peculiar instrument. In shape, it is a triangle pointed downwards. Like the rest of the body it is slightly translucent, and if you squint you will see the simple neural networks within. At the heads center is a circle, about 1.5 feet in diameter, that is composed of an even more translucent flesh, through which one can see the abdomen of the Midnight Sun. This flesh is tough and immobile. It does not connect to the nervous system, so it is not an eye. The true purpose of this lens only becomes clear late at night. +++++++++ The ancestry of the Midnight Sun is mildly surprising. Based on appearance, one may hazard that they are a gastropod or, on the basis of the utter hell that is the rest of the planet, that complex life has started from more or less scratch, and these are some sort of giant nematodes. The truth is far simpler: these are massive cnidarians, bearing a close kinship to the so-called “Man-o-wars” of the Anthropocene. As a group, Cnidarians did an enviable job of surviving the Anthropocene Extinction Event. Unappetizing, mankind left them be as he fished out the seas, opening many new niches for the creatures. Hardy, they survived and even thrived in toxic runoff and the massive algal blooms that marked the period. Eventually, jellyfish could be found even infesting human sewers. As the Anthropocene ended and the earth began to go into a deepfreeze, the Cnidarians were presented with a challenge, and an opportunity. The seas began to freeze over, and all aquatic life forms risked being trapped beneath the ice, forced to subsist on chemotrophic organisms as the edge of thermal vents. Simultaneously, most competitive life on the surface perished. With that, jelly’s took their first tenative steps onto icy beaches... +++++++++ During the day, the Midnight Sun trudges over the snow. It’s sail is host to a colony of photosynthetic algae that share energy from sunlight, and the resulting sugar is stored for leaner times. It's tentacles are constantly sweeping over the snow, and then touching the main body. This serves to keep the abdomen moist in the dry arctic climes that dominate the planet. As it slides down the snow, it leaves in its wake a thick, viscous trail. This trail has a dual purpose; on the one hand, it is the slime that keeps the Midnight Sun from desiccating, but on the other, it is a hunting mechanism. This slime is mildly toxic, and kills most of the algae and bacteria that live at the surface at the ice. Simultaneously, the flagellae release enzymes to digest it and, using their tentacles, apply it directly to the skin for absorption. For the most part, the Midnight Sun is not an active predator. It passively slides along, picking up nutrients from whatever lives at the surface. If it were to slide over a large animal, it certainly wouldn't turn it down, but it wouldn't seek it out. At least, not in the day. In the night, deep in the heart of dry ice storms, it is a very different story. Dry ice storms are cold-- extremely cold. Without the sun shining, Midnight Suns run the risk of being frozen solid. A variety of chemicals are released in an attempt to keep the creature warm while it digs into its sugar reserves. With this extra energy, the Midnight Sun powers a series of bioluminescent lights all across the body. These lights are bright enough to physically warm the Midnight Sun, but they serve many purposes. The Midnight Sun is not only a simply-nerved creature, but a colonial one. It is believed to consist of nine separate organisms. The sail-crest is a singular massive polyp, essentially the same as the one mounted on the back of the Man-o-war. The “foot” of the creature is Apolemia uvaria, another ancient cnidarian that became integrated into the creature’s biologies. The flailing flagellae are significantly derived gastrozooids, with some of the meatier tentacles being derived dactylozooids. There are a variety of minor zooids and polyps making up the creature, with the head itself being an extremely derived Coronatid, or “Crown” jellyfish. In lieu of a fully central nervous system, the Midnight Sun makes use of the bioluminescence natural to several of its constituents and does something of an internal light show, each zooid and polyp using lights to communicate with the adjacent zooid and polyp, giving them a constant, ever-shifting corona of light. There is a more important purpose for the lights; as bacteria and lichens detect it, they began to activate. As they activate, they alert to the measly creatures that lurk in ice burrows that the sun has returned again, and it is time to eat. As soon as they do, however, they will be swept up by the Midnight Sun’s many tentacles, and stuffed beneath the creature to be dissolved and consumed. But, it is possible that the creature is too large when the Midnight Sun strays towards the equator, or it is too far. For this it has a solution: it comes to a stop. Almost all bodily functions cease, and the creature is utterly still. Then, out of the Crown, a great beam of light emerges. Focused by the biological mineral lens, this light comes out hot-- as hot as 300 degrees. This burning light will char, kill or stun most creatures unfortunate enough to run afoul of the Midnight Sun. While this burning light takes a lot of energy, what they get in return from real animals is even better. Upon reaching maturity, the Midnight Sun will track down a clathrate iceberg, distinguishing it by its color when it has a light shone upon it. It will take in methane by subjecting it to its burning gaze, releasing the gas without igniting it, and use it to release several pheromone-bearing polyps. These polyps will go up high, eventually popping, signaling to all nearby Midnight Suns to gather. Dozens, even scores of Midnight Suns will gather. After stripping the ice of any and all nutrients, they will converge their gazes on the clathrate. Their combined gazes can bring the clathrate to ignition. In the strange green firelight beneath the black stars, the Midnight Suns revels in a grand orgy. Their tired corpses collapse, feebly glowing red and blue and purple with the last of their energy. As their lain eggs hatch, the larvae crawl towards the glowing half-dead Midnight Suns, devouring their forefathers before strange green firelight beneath the black stars. A great thunderclap can be heard from the pole. |
