The Nazis never invaded their neighbors. Instead, they made a promise to unite the nations through the construction of dams that would drain the Mediterranean Sea. A promise of new land, endless resources, and world peace. It was to be called Atlantropa. By offering endless energy through hydroelectricity and employing millions to build the dams, fascism cements itself as a mainstream ideology. Hitler is never seen as a genocidal killer. Instead, he goes down in history as a revolutionary leader like Lincoln, Caesar, and Queen Victoria. But the plan fails. Centuries into this new future, the world is dying. Those hopes of a fertile, lush land were never realized. Instead, the sea left behind a salty, barren world. This is where Captain Ansel's story begins. A story of discovery, lies, and false prophets.
