The dark abyss
In the beginning, there was space, in that space, was rocks, and one of these rocks was the greatest and most massive of all, with an outer surface of nothing but wind and dust, though it now shows an absence of life, this colossal giant would soon become the third planet from the sun…earth, thousands of years ago it is believed nothing could survive on earth at this point, this is true, however there was one thing that was noticeable in the fluorescent shine of the bright surface, something dark, something deep, something cold, that would soon… awaken
2006: arctic research station
Somewhere in the cold, desolate northern regions of the arctic, a large metal structure protruded out of the icy terrain, with several vehicles, people and equipment stationed at every turn, a man not too far away was doing archaeological work in a nearby clearing, he was clearing some snow when he saw something…weird, a large pole stuck out of the ice, seeking advice, he attempted to contact his superiors on his phone, only to hear the irritating crackle of static, as he inched closer to the pole, he felt the ice break beneath him, he plummeted through the fissure and then…darkness.
Back at the station, a group of people worked in camaraderie to get several crates into a room, two of them notice one of their men is missing, thus they go to search for him in the torrent and snow, jealous that he was not back and aiding them in the heavy lifting. As they stopped at the cold address, they saw nothing but ice, snow and the man’s tools, seeing nothing, they turned and left on their vehicles, little knowing the weathers ability to deceive, the snow covered the broken hole, leaving little evidence of the person’s fate.
