How did it get here? It might not be. From where did that owl came from? Unless… - and in that moment, while she was trying to figure out the mystery, Jack showed up at her door with their favourite wine and cheesy crisps.

Good evening, Jack. - she said blushing with excitement. She loved everything about him. What a shame that he has no idea. All she saw was him and all he saw was her. They were perfect for each other but were bad at expressing feelings.

I was thinking about what you said on the assembly. I have some ideas on how it appeared here and there is only one explanation. It was not a bird. Maybe it was a bird-like robot?

A robot? But it flied like a normal bird. - Said Jack puzzled as he believed it was an actual bird. Although it makes more sense than his theory. They are on the spaceship after all. All the mystery suddenly stopped to be a mystery.

Now we need to find the creator of that thing. He probably lives above the ground. - Lucy was determined to solve the mystery. She was the kind of person that wants to know everything. One of her personality treats, at least in Jack's eyes. He loved her that way. Beautiful, strong and fully committed woman that will not stop until she gets what she wants.

Her determination was annoying for most people as she seems to be constantly in everyone's business. She simply could not help it.

I agree with you, but I am visiting you regarding different case. OUR case. Are you ready to solve… ME? - once he finished, he got little doubt if it was not too weird to say, but before the doubt had a chance to grow, she took his hand, and they went to her bedroom. They were both wrapped in their bathrobes. Once they were next to the bed, she slowly started to take off her bathrobe…It all seemed to be just perfect.

Ana on the other hand was otherwise occupied. She got herself a bottle of rose wine, lay down in her favourite chair and watched episodes of animal tv show. That was, as she liked to call it, her PAZ which states for personal amusement zone.

All seemed to be as usual but they did not know what was comming.

Above the ground, on the top level, The Royals started to experiencing on creatures from the lower levels. Only they had animals on their level. Royals came up with the idea to mix birds with humans. For a while was known, that some people were disapearing mysteriously but the amout was not big enough so it went silent. At first it was unsuccessful. They needed something that would trigger the evolution of the new creature. The experiment took over fifty years. In new time of year 2080, they succeed at creating an human-owl. It has two meters height, main body is the owl with the legs of a human and compilation of feathery hands that enable flying. Now is year 2095 and one of the creatures appeared underground. Was it in purpose or just an accident? At this moment it does not matter. The creature is out and it is hungry. In the meantime, Jack and Lucy were relaxing in bed. Lucy could not stop thinking about the owl. They were yet not aware, that the thing Jack saw, was alive.

We do get all our supplies from the top. Only they have right enviroment to produce food. - Lucy started to contemplate while laying next to Jack. - They are transfering food through special channels. What if, somehow, that robot got inside? What if… - she stopped interrupted by Jack.

That is no longer important as I was the only one who saw it and it did not re-appeared? - he finished her sentence with a suggestion. - Look, whatever it was, it is gone now. Please, let's not think about it anymore.
