All humanity has taken a giant step forward. Starting from 2012, which the Maya tribes, Nostradamus and the Ancient Egyptians had long spoken of, promising harsh times, something else happened. I still remember that day, December 21, 2012: all humanity was in turmoil, trembling, awaiting the madness that soon ensued.
Appearing before the presidents of all countries in a special television address were extraterrestrial beings. People could hardly believe their eyes, and their ears even less so. It turned out that contact had already been established since 1959 and close cooperation with UFOs had been underway.
They were not frightening at all, nothing like in the movies; on the contrary, they resembled humans, a little taller, and emitted bright glows of various auras depending on ULYU (it's something like social status; for example a doctor is purple, a politician yellow-gray, and white is their Chakhli, i.e. the emperor).
From that very day everything began to change for people. The dominant states finally signed an agreement to dispose of nuclear weapons, as this was one of the conditions of our new friends, who were interested in preserving Earth as a particle of the Universe. And in return we received more advanced technologies that had previously been heard of only in books, such as H. G. Wells' novel The Time Machine (eng. The Time Machine) or Jules Verne's science-fiction novel Journey to the Center of the Earth (fr. Voyage au centre de la Terre) and others.
In 2018 the first flying cars rolled off the production lines; it was a sensation. The new materials brought to us from distant corners of the Universe were insanely strong and at the same time lighter than air; our scientists simply shrugged.
- The United States of America were chosen as the main headquarters of the Anola race on Earth.
In 2025, dissatisfied, China and the Russian Federation presented a petition to the supreme authority A2E (Anola to Earth), which contained the following request: "We, the two powerful superpowers China and the Russian Federation, ask you to move your control center to our vast lands." But the supreme administration of A2E did not grant the above; instead it offered far more important powers, assigning them ownership of a skander for travel through space and time, with the ability to open any point on Earth and other planets of the Universe. This decision pleased our sides.
You will most likely ask me why I am talking about politics and what relation, finally, IEC (Center of International Exchange) has here?
So a year and a half ago, more precisely on June 15, 2027, a decree was signed by the Government of the Russian Federation on the use of the skander for commercial purposes. And now we have come to the point that IEC, being a successful corporation, having by that time removed all competitors, standing on the market alongside corporations such as RAO Aeromobile, RAO GazPromLitsidiy — only without the RAO prefix, of course — moved quickly and managed to take into its ranks such a tool as the Skander.
It is the year 2029. I live in Samara on the 100th floor, approximately, because I have a flying house in the clouds. Oh yes, if I had been heard in 2010 they would have put me in a madhouse. But now everything is different. With my aeromobile I freely fly down to the snowy streets of the stanitsa and head to the Center of International Exchange. You will probably ask: 'Hey, it's 2029, why go out of the house at all — isn't everything computerized?'
I will answer: 'Yes, that's true, but this morning I didn't even plan to go to the USA, and then an SMS came from friends with an offer to relax and earn some money in Uncle Sam's country and to admire the Anola headquarters. I immediately agreed; as soon as I imagined the call, my frequencies were immediately picked up by a neuro-brain locator and connected my vehicle with an IEC specialist. Within a moment they fully consulted me and enrolled me in the program.'
And now I am already flying to meet the famous invention of the aliens — the Skander. They say the first time teleporting is difficult, but I am not afraid, because in our time it is so hard to die.
