Present Day

*Somewhere in Antarctica*

*Dr. Grahamm's temporary Lab setup*

Sitting in his office's chair behind the Brown wooden table, Dr. Jack Armand Grahamm was staring intently at his computer's screen. Going trough his many reports double-checking and comparing each one of them in the hope of finding some clue as to humanity's greatest mistery.

The apparition of what's now comonly know as Super Powers.

Once upon a time. Something happened. Something that drastically changed humanity in a whole. Something that is Comonly reffered to as The Calamity.

In truth, Nobody know what happened that Day. Or rather, this knowledge was Lost to the ever passing Time.

What little humanity remember of that fateful day is a Big explosion that shook the earth to its core, entirely freezing two spot of the planet. Arctica and Antarctica.

Dr. Grahamm's research has led the man to this remote part of the planet. Believing the Something that changed humanity to its DNA to have started here.

Thanks to his intellect focused power, the man have created many gadgets allowing him to understand Super Powers better. One of these Gadget, the Poorly named Gauger, allow him to quantify the amount of power a being, an object or a place emanate.

In his quest of knowledge his many Travel troughout the World have finally led him here 7 years ago, to this Frozen place where a strong amount of power emanate from keeping it eternally Frozen.

Nowadays, he is slowly losing Hope of ever uncovering the greatest mistery of History. His ressources are being stretched thin by the days. Most of his benefactors have stopped their support. The expedition's Crew, living in the monotony of digging, exploring the maze like caves deep underground, eating, sleeping and going right back to exploring the Bone freezing caves. They are slowly going restless, their spirits are yearning of homes... Of loved ones... Of anything else except this Frozen landscape.

Troughout the seven years they have Lost some people to sickness but mostly to the unforgiving freezing cold.

Lately, Dr. Grahamm is Always contemplating about calling off the expedition. He too, misses his loved ones. His wife... His daughter who will soon turn 18...

His hand tightened around the mouse of the computer at the tought of his daughter and at him being far away most of her life.

He sighed in a deep tired way and relaxed his grip on the mouse.

"I really need to take a decision soon." he Said to no one. In truth, it wasn't a decision that would imply that he had a choice of either going back home or staying here to continue his life research. In this case he either call off the expedition or have the boldest of the Crew take _The _decision. And truthfully, he don't want the latter to happen.

A knock at the door brought him out of his tought.

Straightening himself, "It's open." he Said.

The door slightly creaked as it opened inward. The woman thus revealed walked in. She was about 5'8 tall. A lock of hair protruded from under the hood of her sweater, revealing her reddish hair. Her eyes of the same color stared at Dr. Grahamm. Her tan complexion had lost some of its luster with the prolonged exposure to the **** cold of these lands. But this in no way diminished her beauty. Her eyes were sparkling and shining with a determined brilliance. His fine nose stood out a little from his face with a kind of rose tattoo on it. Coated with lipstick, her lips were full and promised attractive delights. Her cheeks were a little hollow accentuating her dimples and her chin. All in all, a very beautiful woman.

She spoke in a pleasant tenor voice. "We found something Doc."

Dr. Grahamm's Heart began beating faster and his eyes shone with Hope. Whatever the Crew found, it must be related to what they have been trying to uncover these past few years he tought. "Is it what we have been looking for?"

"Dunno what you are even looking for Doc. You are the brainy here. And Honestly i don't care as long as the pay keeps coming." The woman Said smirking.

The doctor relaxed and chuckled a bit thinking that he himself don't really know what he is looking for. Sure he had many theories regarding the origin of Super Powers. And if it weren't for the Gauger he would never have set foot in this place. But the only lead he had is that the Device detected that an strong amount of power, stronger than he have ever seen, emanate from this place. So whatever this power is tied to or wherever it's coming from it might have a connection with The Cataclysm.
