The date is June 2022 and the worldwide pandemic and lock-downs have become far worse than anyone could have possibly imagined. Mark and Lamai have been contacted by Uli, a wealthy old friend that is dying of cancer and owns a Tall Sailing Ship in Hamburg, Germany. Uli tells them he has an escape plan and to watch the 2013 Sci Fi movie Elysium, where most of the elites have residences, advanced technology, no sickness or disease and even healing pods like in the movie. Uli believes it is not up in space but most likely a small continent or group of islands in the South Pacific or even be beyond Antarctica. The adventure begins when Mark and Lamai contact a few family and friends and they all escape with Uli on the tall sailing ship and another yacht. But disaster strikes after finding a gap in the Antarctic ice wall and the second yacht is sunk by a military gunboat on the other side. So not having any choice, they navigate back through the ice wall and head up to Bocas del Toro in Panama, where Mark and two friends own some waterfront land, the intention being to set up an off grid community. However, after being shown another old map of the land Admiral Richard Byrd found very close the the Barrington Iron Republic land with many more continents between a second ice ring, Uli tells everyone he is going to make a second attempt at finding another entrance in the ice wall. Everyone was given the choice to stay on Bocas de Toro or re join the ship. On the way, they are stopped by another military ship that demands to know where they are going. They are allowed to continue but a mysterious green fog appears and they are transported to a secret ice covered dome. A high speed under ice shuttle then transports them to Asnana, an archipelago of 52 beautiful islands and another adventure begins.
