As an ark hunter, you have heard the legend of the bright blue dome that sparkles just north of what was once Oklahoma City. You know the one. Its impenetrable, deadly (all those people frozen solid then turned to dust) and the epic battle on Dec 1 2024 between the Mkao and the Iron demons around it for control. Most have brushed it off as myth. That is until you see it.
So who am I? I'm Vincent Calhoun former EMC 9th division ranger and now VBI ark hunter. I am also a resident of Tulsa, OK. This is its story.
Back in the days after the arrival of the Votans, there was hope that we weren't alone. Yet there was fear of the future. As the US govt always did, they decided to build and test a device to insure the continuity of govt. Project CGeagle would guarantee that regardless of what happened to the Votans the US would continue. It was brilliant idea. Much like the Manhattan project, brilliant minds united in secret to create something out of the tech acquired from the Votans. CgEagles end result; a transparent energy globe that would function a protective shield yet not restrict sunlight from entering.
The project began early 2014 from my sources. It ended sadly on arkfall day. However, as we all can see it was a success. So much as you could all a permanent locked down sphere a success.
Sphere? I though you said dome? I did as that is what people who see it from a distance see it as. yet I lived there inside. I was there in 2023 when General Conner Henrick, chairman of the Joint chiefs spoke to those who were willing to come to the Bank Of Oklahoma Center. He used the cover of the impending Games of the XXXIII Olympiad to covey that there would be a test of a security shield on march 1st. he wanted to assure us that nothing would change.
Security shield, heh. Nothing would change. Ha! Well, we all assented, not that we had a choice. It was the first of three live field tests over a massive area. What they didn't tell us is that the serious tests, the ones that killed and maimed, has already been done at Area 51. They just wanted to see range with a live population and actual buildings before testing in DC. We were the guinea pig so to speak. The test days were the first, the 17th and the 23rd. Each time, the field grew larger. first it was 20 miles in diameter. Second it was 40 miles. Final and permanent diameter is 46.3 miles or 74.5126 kilometers.
So how did the dome activate and remain if the three tests were successful? Blame that on John Paul Bullock. Thanks to his successful assassination of Onulu Toruku, Votan Ambassador to the U.N. General Assembly, the TEG generator was forgotten on the roof of the 203 m (667 ft) tall the 52-story BOK tower.
Life went on. The angst about the assassination grew so The UN and IOC decided to hold the games as a way to draw in peace as it had always did. So we did. It was glorious. Everyone who had worked to hard and fear so much got to see the LAST games play out in Tulsa. The best of the worlds athletes won gold and caused to forgot the troubles until that last day.
Security forces discovered that the Votan attack forces (sorry don't remember the specific name) were targeting the games. They wanted an easy target. Seek a way to defend without disrupting the games, they discovered the generator. Unaware of the assault on DC, Colonel Salton decided that there was nothing to lose by switching it on.
Everyone thought the sky was beautiful. No one knew that it would stay that way for the rest of their lives. See the military didn't know was that the radiation from the initial activation marked everyone inside the cities that day. We became passable. We could touch the dome with no ill effects. We could walk through it. No one else could. It always didn't tell us that a massive energy blast would be absorbed but too much could lock it on causing the crystals that powered the field to use the energy to power the field itself.
That is what happened that day. At 9 pm cst, a megaton explosion hit the field cascading across its entire distance and into the eight stanchions mounted inside the edges of the field. This caused the dome to complete a sphere of defense just like it was designed to. Then it is believed it malfunctioned locking itself on, holding the massive amount of rock, stone and life microns separate from the rest of the world.
Amazingly communications weren't cut off immediately. They failed around 1 am the next day. Of course the war had finally came in earnest and no one could escape it. Save us.
We had enough food, and resources to survive and continue. yes we had an extra half million. WE thrived. 3d builders made stuff we needed. Food was grown. Fish we caught. Everything was there, even the strange things like Bananas and coffee. No one wanted to shut it off. expect those who wanted to leave.
Two months before the attack that destroyed most of OKC a rogue south African handball player decided to drive his car into the field north of Bartleville, He had hacked the car's gps and Google driver software to believe it was him in the seat. It did noting but teach OMG (Oklahoma Military guard, what the remains of the EMC inside called themselves amusingly) that exit was vehicular ramming was impossible.
So wasn't an attempt made to shut it down? Numerous ones. No one could ever get to the roof of the building. Planes were restricted now because the limited space defeated their use. Helicopters were limited. Strangely, the generator created a defensive shield around itself per design to prevent rogue attacks. That was discovered when the grenade was thrown from the helicopter one month after the car attack. After that, the attacks stopped and life such as it was, went to back normal.
No snow anymore, rain remained because of the lakes allowed the normal atmospheric cycle to continue.
Which leads me to my final part of this tale, why I left and what about the arkfall day.
Arkfall day touch everyone that we were far from being cursed by the US military. We were blessed. The field had been on for six years now. We didn't know that the interaction with the outside environment fueled it. We didn't know that the impacts and terraspires would allow it to be fueled for centuries to come because it was breaking down the elements beneath the sphere itself. Or that Gulanite worked far better than the crystal used originally. (even though they were level one zpe crystals),
A sum total of three impacts happened over the dome. All were consumed totally by it in a space of hours will dust floating down on us. Inside nothing changed. No freaky alien plants grew. No horrific beasts that rivaled HP Lovecraft formed. Our local Internet (The OC3 backbone ran through Tulsa so one of the root servers was put in Pryor when Google moved its redundant headquarters there a month prior to the 2016 basin quake that damaged LA taking it out of Olympic running. [a 9.0 quake will do that]) chirped on about the odd events and when the ap went down we knew serious crap had hit the fan. There was abject silence and it seemed, we were suddenly alone. Google had been smart and lucky. Pryor had fell just inside the sphere. They knew if anything should happen to the world, this would be the place to store everything. So they convinced the internet big wigs to send their backups there. They did, Hell they taught people inside to build the actual chips. Apparently someone stupidly was trying to blackmarket sell the rare earth minerals and had hid a trailer in there prior to the Olympics. It built a couple of servers.
So inside, twitter, Wordbook, CNN, The blaze, and even 4chan continued. Yet as the months grew, concern became worry, and then fear. The worst was believed then confirmed. Our world was gone. Everyone cried then returned to our life thankful that Presidents Obama and Paul were willing and crazy enough to fund and test this here.
I left because I wanted to see what was left, I knew after the Mkao battle that everyone but VBI wrote us off. WE are the blue dome. An oddity amongst oddities. Something to ignore unless you want to die. yet, we are the living terrarium. We, Tulsans can leave for now. Soon there will be no one left would can. Its been 20 yrs. I was 27 on the day of meeting, a Sargent in the EMC 9th division. As I look I feel, a mixture of hope and loss. So much gone. Yet every time I hear of the blue dome legend, I smile. I doubt many will see this as its on a local net but still I wanted to share.
A warning though. Don't try to go there. I have seen too many people, good people and bad, die horrifying deaths trying to walk or ram and fly into it. Its unforgiving, it won't collapse (thanks to the spire it consumed) and ever present reminder that we as humans can so anything. As for the Votans in the city and surrounds? There weren't any save a few, We always found that odd but after the assassination they all moved away in fear.
The two Irathient families out past Okmulgee remain there as far as we know.
Thanks.
