The Time-Techs of Kra

In a tightly unified world where nations have merged into a single federation, humanity has turned its ambition toward the impossible—piercing the planet and reaching the other side. The massive “Diamvator” shuttle, a marvel of Earth‑Tube engineering, whisks passengers through a colossal shaft that delves thousands of miles toward the core, promising faster travel than any surface route. When the unassuming investigator Willard Randall steps aboard, his modest appearance masks a sharp mind and a secret mission: to uncover the truth behind a baffling disappearance and the strange forces that lie beyond the tunnel’s end.

Rumors whisper of the Kralons, towering insect‑like beings who guard the elusive “time‑techs” of ages past and future. Their mastery of temporal currents could reshape reality itself, and a shadowy agency is desperate to seize that power. As Randall begins to piece together the fragmented reports, he finds himself caught between bureaucratic intrigue, the looming threat of the Kralons, and a journey that may alter humanity’s place in time.
