“Unimaginable Flight”: the first series of the story
It’s wonderful to have good friends who are always there when we need help. Friends who will gratuitously come to the rescue when the situation becomes difficult, and who are ready for a hard fight and a long battle with the enemy, if necessary. Having such friends, we will feel much safer in times of uncertainty and danger if there is someone behind us who will protect us. We will feel as if we are standing behind the wall of a well-guarded fortress. It is very important to have someone to rely on in case of unforeseen circumstances and dangers. Thus, we will be calmer, more balanced and more confident in case of danger, and we will act bolder and more confident to cope with challenges and storms. There will be someone to talk to in moments of intense tension and with whom to discuss the details, there will be someone who will give us advice and calm us down, cheer us up and give us courage. It’s good if there is someone who will get us out of trouble and lead us forward to victory. It’s good to have someone to save us if we get into trouble. It’s good when there are leaders who point us in the right direction. And why don’t we become these leaders ourselves? Learn to take responsibility, plan your every step and every action, cope with troubles and problems and win over our opponents, enemies and detractors. Be in touch and available at any time, work hard, consistently and selflessly for the sake of common success. Every day and without a break, we must fight for our ideas and values, pursue our goals and dreams and not give up. We must constantly strive for better results, become better at what we do, constantly improve. We need to find the right rhythm and surround ourselves with the right people. The right people will not lie, deceive and mislead us. We need to find people we can trust and always rely on. People who will always be there for us in difficult times and who will never betray us. Trust and friendship are built over a long period of time and tested in practice. Sometimes we encounter traitors, but no matter what you do, that’s life. We must be vigilant and careful. It is necessary to surreptitiously observe people, judge and sift them. Only with the best and most proven we could form a team and fight for common ideas, deeds and goals. This is the only way we can go as far as possible and win as many battles together as possible. This is the only way we can become the strongest team, which destroys the competition and leaves no special chances for the opponents. A close-knit team of smart, strong and dedicated people who never give up. Stubborn, inflexible and unstoppable people. People who strive and make significant efforts to do everything in the best possible way and avoid mistakes and omissions that may put other team members at risk. People who are constantly learning, constantly improving their skills and abilities, getting better at everything they do. People who plan and carry out their tasks extremely carefully, thoughtfully and without the slightest understatement. People who respect the opinions and wishes of their teammates and diligently take care of their safety and comfort. They know the strengths and weaknesses of each of their teammates, treat each of them with the necessary respect and understanding of their views and beliefs. Only together with such people will we be able to cope with the challenges that our rivals throw at us, and with the challenges that fate throws at us. Thanks to such people, we survive when we get into difficult situations from which, at first glance, there is no way out, and win unimaginable battles that, as it seemed to us, have already been lost.
Brian and Jane went out for a walk on their day off on Saturday, planning to go shopping, look for great deals and promotions. The pleasant spring sun was shining, people were carelessly strolling along the shopping streets in the city center, and parks, cafes and restaurants were full of families and couples, homeless people were casually lounging on the sidewalk. The atmosphere was extremely calm and peaceful. There was absolutely nothing that could disturb the peace. Surprisingly, a curious advertising car appeared on the streets, painted with advertisements and with a loudspeaker. From the car came an advertisement inviting people to visit some newly opened shopping complex located somewhere on the outskirts of the city, announcing that every hour a special bus departs from the city center, which delivers visitors to the complex. Brian and Jane almost did not pay attention to this advertisement, they only managed to understand that a new shopping center or MALL of a new generation and format has opened in the city, which invites residents and guests of the city to get acquainted with its advantages. They continued to walk around the city center and inspect the shops, they continued to curiously observe other people who continued to come to the city center on a day off. After a while, they agreed to meet with friends, which was to take place shortly after noon, and go to a restaurant for lunch together. Having gathered, they chose an outdoor table, ordered food and drinks and began to talk. Their old friends Joe, Emily, Tom, Samantha and others came to the meeting. Talking about everyday things, they wondered what to do and where to go after lunch, how to spend the rest of the day. The main idea was to continue shopping or, for example, go to the cinema together or visit some interesting amusement park. Many of them picked up their smartphones and started looking for nearby options. At that time, the same commercial vehicle that Brian and Jane had seen earlier in the day was passing by. They again heard an advertisement that a new ultramodern multi-level shopping center has opened in the city, which has a lot of surprises. According to the advertisement, the whole complex consists of various exhibition halls and showrooms offering various original goods and services, and there are also many different and interesting places for pastime and entertainment. They also learned about the schedule of special buses and compared it with the one announced on the Internet. This shopping mall aroused their curiosity, and they decided to go there. After finishing their lunch, they headed to the bus stop, from which a special bus departs. The bus itself turned out to be quite interesting, something between a spaceship and a luxury club on wheels. Inside there were comfortable adjustable chairs that could be turned and turned into beds, tables with touchpads and touchscreens, slightly muted music was playing on the bus, there were special blinds on the windows. There were flight attendants there – just like on the plane. Fine drinks and cocktails were served. Passengers were offered to use touchpads and touchscreens. They could watch or read something interesting on them, videos, movies, books, sports, contemporary art, listen to music, view the latest news, surf the internet, play games and much more. Passengers noticed that many applications, programs, channels that were available on the bus were unfamiliar to them. They had never heard of them before, which further inflamed their curiosity. They saw many applications, products, services, books, movies, TV shows, songs, channels, websites, digital spaces that they had never heard of before. A completely new, unexplored world was opening up before them, existing parallel to the real world. They didn’t have much time to look at all the details, but they were impressed. Everything was done very efficiently, looked extremely attractive and impressive. Looking through the apps and options, Brian and Tom fell in love with the shooter, which offered players the opportunity to create their own universe with weapons, bases and characters of their own design. The preview and description of the game stated that the player can invent, create and change absolutely every detail in the game to his liking and in accordance with his desires and goals. Brian and Tom agreed to try this game on the way back. The girls really liked the application, which allows you to enter special virtual or digital spaces, which are digital doubles and analogues of real stores in the mall, and you can also make purchases, view promotions and offers in them. Looking through the application, they noticed that it has spaces and offers that are locked and open only if there is a special ticket that needs to be purchased or received additionally. There was relatively limited information about these tickets in the application, it was not very clear how they could be purchased or what conditions needed to be met in order to receive them. It was only noted that with the help of these tickets, the client can get access to many other unique and one-of-a-kind products and services, to many additional goodies, to special and limited offers, gifts and invitations, and will also have the opportunity to attend many amazing events and get a lot of amazing emotions. The offer seemed quite interesting and attractive, and at the same time quite mysterious, without making it clear enough what exactly a person can get. However, the girls decided that when they come to the mall, they will ask about these tickets. In addition, the group noticed an impressive dating site in a prominent place, promising to find them new friends and opportunities. Friends noticed a lot of advertising: various shopping malls, hotels, including many luxury ones. There were a lot of advertisements for special events, including those with limited access, and advertisements for tourist services offering to take people to unimaginable places, the existence of which they do not even suspect. Everything made an indelible impression on them. What a magical bus, right? Soon they arrived at the mall, which, as it turned out, was part of a larger office complex called “Wizards World Trade Center”, consisting of several buildings connected to each other. Everyone was impressed by the scale of the complex, the large halls in the shopping center and the unique design. However, again, as with the applications tested on the bus, there were halls and rooms in the mall that were locked and access to which was restricted, and a special ticket was required to enter and see what was inside. At the reception of the complex, visitors were recommended to use the services that are currently available, and promised that over time they will receive more information about tickets, what they can bring to the client and how he can get them. These tickets turned out to be a big mystery and tormented the minds of Brian, Jane, Emily, Joe, Tom, Samantha and everyone else. It turned out that at first the mall offers its customers a special scoring system that allows the customer to accumulate points for each visit to the mall and for each service used. It became clear that these points can be exchanged for some types of special tickets, but for others it is necessary to fulfill other special conditions that are not disclosed to new customers. The more points a customer gets, the closer he gets to special tickets and services for the chosen and anointed. After the first walk through the mysterious shopping center, this group of friends will have something to talk about and whisper with each other, many questions will arise that will remain unanswered for a long time. They will make their first attempts to unravel the secrets of the “Wizards World Trade Center”, discuss in detail the mysteries and riddles that they care about, but they still know too little about this place and its purpose. From the moment they leave, they will be absolutely sure that they will return to this strange and mysterious place again, and more than once. This place will start to excite and attract them more and more. On the way back on the bus, Brian and Tom tried to play a shooting game that they liked earlier. “You’ve never handled a real weapon, have you, Tom?” – Brian turned to Tom. “There’s always a first time for everything, Brian!” – Tom joked. “Imagine that one day we will hold in our hands this wonderful weapon that we created ourselves in the game, and become part of an invincible team that fights evil!” – Tom exclaimed. “Hehe, Tom, you’re dreaming something…In fact, I hope that we will never have to hold real weapons in our hands. Jane won’t survive this, will she, Jane?” – Brian turned to Jane. “I’ll only survive this if we win!” – Jane said.

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. The group offers its clients an incredible experience and unprecedented adventures, but at some point some begin to guess what it is about. Some of the clients will form a squad called “Unstoppable Workers”, whose goal is to resist 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. 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…
