Schemes [2]

Outside San Fransico, California, there was another base, yet this one looked more typical of a secret hideout. It was within a swampy region that appeared not long after the World Awakening.

The geography of earth had gone through various changes, but the most prominent one was the different ecosystems that emerged. Mana had given the world plenty of possibilities for evolution, and it seemed earth wanted to become closer to nature.

Within that swampy region stood a massive dome-like structure. It seemed impractical as a location to hold a large number of people, but that wasn't its purpose. It served to be as inconspicuous as possible.

The reason the dome lacked volume was that this particular headquarters drilled deep into the ground, becoming a bunker of sorts.
