“Unimaginable Flight”: Preface and Introduction
Preface
“Unimaginable Flight” is a series of stories aimed at showing the importance of cohesion and teamwork in the struggle to achieve success and victory over our opponents. We must be able to combine our personal goals with the overall goals of the team. We all have personal goals and ambitions. Some people have remarkable qualities and virtues. They could be an example for others, and it would be nice to work with such people. Everyone would be happy to work in a team with purposeful and positive people. Smart and brave people. Stubborn and unyielding partners. Unstoppable and invincible comrades-in-arms. Dear friends and inseparable fighters. Separated from each other, we can become easy prey for our opponents. Separation can destroy us. Our individual qualities and abilities cannot always save us. We will not be able to cope with all kinds of challenges and opponents alone. We have to be well prepared for strong competition and tough clashes. We may have to fight long and intense battles with powerful opponents and stronger teams. Teams that are better prepared and equipped, with more advanced technologies and with more funds and advantages. Teams with a lot of experience and influence, as well as with a lot of money and contacts. Behind such teams are often powerful secret and official groups, structures and organizations that have a lot of money and power and seek to get even more money and power. These groups, structures and organizations are often led by greedy and unscrupulous people who will do anything to achieve their goals. Thus, they can endanger the lives of many people and call into question the existence of all mankind. They have a lot of resources and leverage. They can pose as people with the best intentions, successfully humiliating and denigrating others, belittling their successes and ridiculing their efforts. They do dirty tricks and cause a lot of damage. They act meanly and unscrupulously, regardless of the needs and desires of people. They consistently and tirelessly promote their ideas. They pursue their goals to the end and are ready to achieve them at any cost. There are cynical and extremely dangerous people. What can a brave, united and dedicated team do against them? Such a team can demonstrate and prove its endurance, stubbornness, perseverance, intransigence and desire to win. Such a team can demonstrate incredible efforts and hard work. Brilliant abilities and impressive qualities. A clear mind, unprecedented resourcefulness and unimaginable ingenuity. These characters must act to the limit of their abilities and even beyond them in order to have a chance of winning. They will have to surpass themselves to win. And the victory will be sweet and unforgettable 🙂
Introduction
In the series “Unimaginable Flight” we will enjoy a combination of realistic and fantastic stories. While in the series “Crafted World” a certain group of people is trying to make changes in the world without capturing it, in the “Unimaginable Flight” another very ambitious and powerful group will try to capture the planet, while our main characters will have to defend it and fight for its salvation. Over time, fighting the invaders will become a part of their lives, and saving the world will become their mission. At first, the main characters lead a normal and boring lifestyle, they go to work, they don’t have many friends and acquaintances. Boredom leads them to a special dating site that promises to find them new friends and acquaintances with similar interests, as well as organize free meetings and unforgettable events for them. An important condition is that they must fill out a detailed survey in which they need to share their interests and desires, and purchase special tickets that will give them access to the service. With these special tickets, they will be able to attend special events organized by this mysterious dating site. The site is actually supported by a powerful criminal group called “Secret Wizards”, which has a lot of money and the most advanced technologies, and the information collected in surveys is used not only for the purposes of a dating site, but also for the development of secret surveillance technologies, tracking and controlling people, as well as for secret experiments on people. People call them “Secret Wizards” because they never appear live, and no one knows their whereabouts, no one has ever seen them live. No one knows exactly what they look like and what exactly they do. They always appear only in the form of images and sound, using the most advanced technologies, and can appear at the most unexpected times and in the most unexpected places. In the most unexpected way, they can appear on the computer screen or smartphone of a particular person and talk to him. The group is formed by gangsters, businessmen and former politicians, who, however, manage to deceive and attract to their side a large number of respectable scientists and technical specialists with promises of great projects that will change the world, incredible scientific experiments and eternal fame and appreciation of ordinary people. Many of these people sincerely believe that they are participating in something big and positive. But in fact, one of the goals of the “Secret Wizards” is to rob people and completely replace them with modern technology. “Secret Wizards” collect information about people and steal their ideas in order to achieve their goals – to get rich, replace people with advanced technologies and destroy humanity. They dream of creating a world controlled and based only on technology. Thus, they will be able to conquer the world and become its sole masters. Subsequently, it turns out that in addition to the dating site, the powerful group also manages special shopping centers and a large travel agency, which were created and used for the same purposes. A huge number of hidden cameras and secret equipment for monitoring people and their behavior are placed by “Secret Wizards” in the premises of commercial institutions, in hotels, in vehicles. At the same time, a huge number of spyware programs are launched by them on the Internet. The collected information is used to analyze the situation, develop secret plans and plan further steps to seize power over the world. “Secret Wizards” are developing a special project to unify and expand their digital products and services, which would allow them to increase their influence and collect information more effectively. They are developing a project called “Unimaginable Cloud”, which is a huge digital space in which people can work, have fun and relax at the same time. The “Unimaginable Cloud” looks amazing and infinitely attractive and seductive. There you can see and do things that cannot be done anywhere else. It is designed to be attractive to different types of people in order to be able to gather as much information as possible. The “Unimaginable Cloud” appears on the screens of various devices and on various video walls and can be controlled by voice and touch, but in fact the service is proactive and looks for contact with people, starts a conversation, asks questions to better understand a person and get into his mind. Over time, the “Unimaginable Cloud” will become quite popular, especially among lazy people, because a person does not need to do almost anything to use it, he does not need to enter a lot of commands from the keyboard and press buttons, the system directs him and does everything on his own. Over time, the “Unimaginable Cloud” will take an important place in the lives of its customers and will begin to plan and direct their behavior and actions, as well as plan their moves and life path in advance. One of the main tactics used by the “Secret Wizards” when promoting all products, including the “Unimaginable Cloud”, is the availability of access levels that allow customers to accumulate points that increase the level of access and which can be exchanged for special tickets, very similar to money. The more services a client uses and the more time he spends in digital products controlled by “Secret Wizards”, the more points he accumulates. The accumulation of points on the part of the client leads to an increase in his level of access, and an increase in the level of access opens the way to much more unique and high-quality products, niches, strategies and directions, to much more comprehensive services. With the accumulated points, the client gets the opportunity to receive special tickets – for example, in electronic and other formats, and use these special tickets to purchase and use unique products and various large-scale and comprehensive services. Accumulated points can be exchanged for these special tickets constantly and at any time. Special tickets can also be purchased for real money if the customer wants to increase their access level by several levels at once. Each special ticket allows the customer to receive a certain set of products and services. Points can also be exchanged for real money, but exchanging them for real money does not increase the level of access. Clients are advised to exchange for real money when there is a real need for money, so that they do not miss the chance to rise to the next level. To get special tickets, the customer must exchange some of the accumulated points, as well as accumulate even more new points that will allow him to increase his access level, and again exchange them for special tickets and get more and more amazing things and emotions. The client always receives information about what will happen next and what he can get at the next levels of access in his account, by email and through other channels. The client is not allowed to view information more than 3 levels higher – for higher levels, the information is hidden. But after each level increase, a new level is opened for study in addition to the already known 2 levels. Each new level significantly exceeds the previous one in scale and impresses customers more and more. This strategy successfully supports intrigue and keeps people interested. Moreover, the score scale is progressive, each new level gives the customer the opportunity to earn even more new points and get a new set or combination of products and services from which to choose. “Secret Wizards” used all their products to observe people. Their clients have not lost their ideas, solutions, works and intellectual property in any way. Even the “Unimaginable Cloud” provided them with good tools for creating and developing their projects that could reach customers very quickly. They provided tools to verify that the clients’ intellectual property was not used partially or completely in other projects without the consent of the owner and copyright holder. But in fact, the information received from consumers has helped them develop algorithms, programs and systems that are different from and superior to those created by humans. With the help of the “Unimaginable Cloud” they collected information about the weaknesses and flaws of human thinking and people in general. They observed ideas, solutions and strategies created by people, including large teams of people, and carefully searched for weaknesses and flaws in them in order to create something more – something that practically did not require human intervention. Their goal was to create proactive products, services and systems that would amaze ordinary people with their impressive performance and speed, but at the same time set the stage for replacing smart people around the world with advanced technologies. This replacement will help them more easily control the thinking and minds of ordinary people and, as a result, seize power over the world. “Secret Wizards” created technologies that were supposed to help people, but in fact were aimed at guiding and controlling them, tracking and directing their behavior, as well as charting their path. They developed, implemented and applied technologies that were able to create and develop plans, solutions and strategies for people, and people themselves simply had to become ordinary not very smart and not very critical consumers. The truth is that “Secret Wizards” do not need overly intelligent and generally intelligent people in large numbers, because they have critical thinking and a detailed view of things, and such people can seriously interfere with them. Later, Secret Wizards’ ownership of the “Unimaginable Cloud” will be revoked due to suspicions of data abuse. Then they will change their tactics and will no longer have their own digital and media products, but will try to penetrate and partially take over other products and projects. They will bribe the media and journalists to partially or fully promote their ideas. They will continue to found companies and offer various products and services to help them collect data, they will continue to sponsor technology projects that can make them stronger. “Secret Wizards” always offer their clients incredible experiences and unprecedented adventures, but at some point some people begin to guess that they have secret plans and goals. Some of the clients will form a squad called “Unstoppable Workers”, whose goal is to resist the “Secret Wizards” and save the world. Firstly, future members of the “Unstoppable Workers” team, like many other people, become clients of the dating site, which is secretly managed by “Secret Wizards”, fill out detailed questionnaires, indicating all their interests, hobbies, desires and dreams, and buy those very special tickets that promise amazing events and impressions. What unites them is that in the questionnaires mentioned above, they indicated that they really like action movies. Many of them have never seen a weapon live and even more so do not know how to use it if necessary, but later they will become real participants in a real action movie, face unimaginable trials and their “Unimaginable Flight” to Victory will begin.
The Unstoppable Workers team will have to go to great lengths to survive and win. Team members will have to constantly train and improve. They should always be ready for battle, not relaxing and not being distracted for a moment. Every wrong move and poorly planned action can cost the team dearly. They will have to develop unprecedented and unpredictable tactics and strategies, develop unimaginable skills and abilities. Powerful “Secret Wizards” will not rest until the team of “Unstoppable Workers” is defeated and destroyed. Being mean and cynical, they will regularly try to belittle and denigrate their opponents. They will try to belittle the importance of rivals, downplay their results and successes and ridicule their efforts. “Secret Wizards” have a lot of resources and leverage to successfully promote their ideas and pose as good guys. They have a lot of power and money, and they will spare no means to achieve their goals. Being cruel and unscrupulous, they will constantly threaten the lives of “Unstoppable Workers”. According to the “Secret Wizards”, the end justifies the means, and they will not rest until they deal with anyone who dares to stand in their way and prevent them from becoming world rulers. They will achieve their goals extremely consistently and persistently. They will try to outwit and exhaust the competitors in order to win. They will develop multi-way steps and actions. “Secret Wizards” rely on strategies and strategic thinking in general. For them, small battles don’t matter that much. For them, the most important are the main strategic directions, the general direction of movement and the overall results. Small steps and battles are just part of larger processes that they want to manage and direct in the desired direction. They exert large-scale restrained and firm pressure on their opponents, not always attacking them directly, but with each action they strive to penetrate deeper and deeper into the enemy’s territory, weaken him and keep him in suspense. They use sophisticated methods and strategies to weaken and discredit their opponents. They often claim that they are actually being attacked and forced to defend themselves and immediately fight back against the enemy. They threaten to destroy it if necessary. If they lose the battle, they claim that they actually won and that the enemy suffered significant losses and moved away from their goals. The “Secret Wizards” have a technical superiority over the “Unstoppable Workers” and over most of their opponents. They are developing a special project for immediate response and attack called “Instant Lightning Strike”, in which various types of weapons and weapon systems are used to deliver a massive instant strike on the enemy, in order to inflict a quick defeat, a psychological blow, and the enemy does not have time and opportunities for a qualitative response. They themselves informally call this project “The Hands of the Lord”. They also develop a large-scale espionage program, develop powerful espionage software, and operate a powerful surveillance and espionage system-a powerful system of spy telescopes, radio telescopes, radar systems, and satellites, informally called the “All-seeing Eyes of Secret Wizards”. Another of their developments is the “Predatory Anaconda Project” and the “Sudden Snakes” series of weapons, in which special arrows are fired at opponents and members of competing formations, which pierce into their bodies and slow them down and somewhat immobilize them – the goal is to take them under control. Thus, they capture their opponents. At the same time, “Secret Wizards” appear on the screen and begin to threaten a particular captured fighter and a member of the squad and offer him to go over to their side, promising money and power. They offer various combinations of developments, even loosening the noose, telling their victims that they should not abandon their teams and their values, but should look for mutually beneficial solutions. This is how they seek to mislead and often successfully mislead these fighters, entire teams and units, forcing them to carry out joint actions, including operations against their other opponents and enemies, thereby destroying competitive alliances, plotting, exhausting and weakening their competitors and seeking to block their access to resources. The “Unstoppable Workers” must be extremely resourceful to have any chance of winning. They prefer to counter “Secret Wizards” with surprise attacks. The “Unstoppable Workers” tend to become invisible because the enemy has technical and numerical superiority over them. They move along unexpected routes, use special equipment and camouflage, and disguise themselves in a variety of ways. They use removable and modifiable weapons designed and created by themselves. Over time, they attract experienced and tough fighters to their side, including former military and ex-policemen who oppose the hegemony of the “Secret Wizards”. All competing teams and squads will strive to achieve their goals and plans in different ways, and the “Secret Wizards” will not leave them alone for a minute. Every day they will come up with new challenges to test the vigilance and abilities of the “Unstoppable Workers”, and will regularly carry out unexpected attacks.. An epic clash is coming between teams with unequal abilities, but, nevertheless, with a hard-to-predict result…
