A moment of peace and quiet, to reflect.

 

 

This boat looks very old.
I have the impression that it is from another era.

 

 

Hello.
Can I ask you something?

 

"Of course. I'm listening."

 

 

The boat that is here, right next to it. It is not from this period. Is it?

 

"You mean the cargo ship? No, of course not. It's older than that. In fact, it dates back to a time before ours. It dates back many years or even centuries."

 

You mean...he got here long ago??

 

 

"Of course. And he is not the only one who has been here for a long time.
Have you ever noticed all those things, those objects that look old? The bikes everywhere, the cars, even if they are modified, these video games, these mangas. 
Most of these objects are from years before us, even centuries ago. "

 

Wait...are you telling me...that other people lived here before us? Maybe even another city???

 

"Of course. What do you think?
Fort Knox is not that old. It's a fairly new town in the last few years. 
There must have been other towns before Fort Knox that were built here. "

 

 

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

 

"You're welcome, Miss. Don't hesitate to come back if you have any questions."

 

Thank you. Good day to you.

 

 

 

Do people live on it?
Homeless people...the rents in Fort Knox don't allow them to have an apartment.

 

 

Hello Manu.

 

Em: Let me guess. You're still charging me money?

 

 

No, not really.
I came to have a little chat with you.

 

Em: Talk to me? Well, I'll be damned. Go ahead, I'm listening.

 

 

Have you ever wondered what those barricades on the mountains are for? And what could it be hiding?

 

Em: I'm glad you asked.
Yes, I am. Probably something we're not told.

 

 

And the city, the police? Have you asked them yet? What did they tell you???

 

Em: They say it's for our own good, our own protection. Because outside it is dangerous.
But I am sure they are hiding something from us. 
That they don't want us to go elsewhere.

 

But we should be able to escape somewhere if we want?

 

 

Em: No, we can't. The city is closed all around so we can't go out.
As for Octo 8 Island, don't even think about it.
The police are watching there. If you get the urge to escape in a vehicle, the police will not hesitate to shoot you. 
Swimming is too risky. You would drown. Taxis are only scheduled to go to the various parts of the city and the island.

 

I see.

 

Em: Do you understand why I'm so interested in Skyrim and its era? There, people were free to do whatever they wanted, they could go wherever they wanted without being held in a city.

 

 

They could go wherever they wanted; but did you think of the dangers there? Bandits, ferocious beasts, terrible creatures, vampires, werewolves, necromancers and other dark mages. Not to mention that there might have been dragons.
If you didn't know how to defend yourself and were unarmed, you could be killed at any time outside the towns and villages. Not to mention the harsh climate there.

 

Em: You have a point. I had forgotten those details.
If you want to know more about the city, you should take a diversion into the sewers of the city. There are people there who can tell you more than I can.

 

I will try to go there. Thank you.

 

It was nice to see that you took the time to come and talk to me a bit.
