Greater Bay Area…Kind Of
Chinese International School, Liong, Ignatius - 12
[Year 2600]
After Global warming was solved during World War 3 when Bob of the UK used the Frigus Bomb on
the RAS (Russia-America society, Headquarters in former New Zealand after everything else there got
destroyed in the battle against the alien overlords), TARC (Time Anomaly Removal Crew) agent Tero was on a
mission to remove an anomaly from the year 2021 in the current New China Capital, the Greater Bay Area. He
warped there and looked around, remembering something he learnt from the Knowledge Transferer. He was
near the spot where Hong Kong, China and Macau combined together to make Greater Bay Area. Of course,
after 2047, HK and China merged into one, though they encountered slight problems when the Time B invaded
in 2049, when Macau was supposed to join China. Tero concentrated, and warped back to 2200.
[Year 2021]
He looked around and sighed, remembering how technologically advanced humans were at this stage.
That is to say, not at all. Supposedly, Xi Jinping was going to be assassinated by someone before the GBA became
a thing. He sighed and took his holojector (A device that teleported people to a digital prison). He lurked in the
back of the press conference. He scanned the room and found one of the cameras had a dart in it, which was
dipped in Ulaanbaatin, a special poison which no one had found the cure for until 2550. Tero quickly incapitated
him, used his holojector, and left. The GBA quickly evolved, becoming the leader in technology, developing
new things, then later launching The ECO-23 to help protect the earth and colonize Mars.
