Districts-
The Krikos consists of 13 districts of identical size, each with a particular function of its own. In turn, each district is divided into zones (the zones are not identical in size and every district has a different number of zones).
The address of a particular zone is denoted thus: DxZy. For e.g.: D1Z1 is called 'Zone Alpha', it is the capita
l of D1 (district 1) and the Krikos.
District 1: Eutopia
District 1 is the heart of the Krikos. This district is the residence of the Eutopium and houses Zone Alpha, the capital of the Krikos. Moreover, the district includes the primary military division and the Krikos command. The KDOC terminal is situated in the command, making District 1 the functional and power centre of the Krikos.
Description: D1Z1 (Zone Alpha): Zone alpha is filled with huge skyscrapers which connect the ground to the roof. Above the roof is what was called 'the overland'. The overland is the gap between two layers of the roof where the transportation facilities are available to go from one part of Zone Alpha to another. (These primarily consist of high-speed trains, basically, the overland is a sort of metro network). The floor (or the ground) of Zone Alpha is filled with lush green jungles full with bustling ecosystems. Hunting is a favourite pastime of the rich Alphans (who are mostly command personnel or Eutopium members). It is the largest zone in Krikos and holds 7% of the total population of Krikos...
D1Z2 (Zone KDOC): D1Z7 is the home of the KDOC terminal, which is operated by the Reserves, who in turn are controlled directly by the Eutopium.
D1Z3 (Zone Navy): The D1Z2 is made up of multi-levels consisting of naval hangars for launching exploratory ships out of the Krikos and for repairing external damages to the Krikos (even though such damages rarely occur). The Police of all districts is trained here.
D1Z4 (Zone Research): Put simply, Zone Research is the 'science lab' of the Krikos. Weapons research, development of hyper-elements, Krikos statistics department and research on social trends, Nanobots research, mutation testers and eugenics, you name it and it is here. The Zone Research advises the Eutopium on scientific matters and provides it with the 'vital stats' of the Krikos and its people.
D1Z5 (Zone Council or the Royal Zone): Smallest zone on the Krikos, consists of only one huge dome called the council house. The Eutopium council resides here.
District 2: Appolorna
D2 is the Development District.
District 3: Lunaris
D3 is Tourist District for recalling the old Solar System of the Earth.
District 4: Triton
D4 is the Earth District for recalling the Earth in its most ideal known condition.
District 5: Lovi
D5 is the Forest and Wildlife District.
District 6: Callisto
D6 is the Water District or the Ocean District.
District 7: Titanus
D7 is the District of wars. Primary War training takes place here. Also, Museum Countries are made to recall almost every war in the history through virtual projection.
District 8: Ganymede
D8 is the sports District where every Sport ever known to man is played with proper precautions.
District 9: Attolit
D9 is the housing district for those who don’t want to work or are incapable of working like the old people. It is the most populated district.
District 10: Eris
D9 is the district of Technology and Science.
District 11: Ariel
D11 is the Preservation district.
District 12: Solaris
It is the power production, Solar Extraction, and management zone.
District 13: Sayofringium
D13 is the holy district or the first district meant for preservation of all religions and cultures known to man. It is also home to the primary Genetrix Module which controls the entire Krikos.

The Galacta Cantos
ETIAMNUM TRIUMPHOS FINEM MUTATIO
(The Cantos propounded by Dr Flex D’Dustener)
1.
They climb atop
The Hills of time,
To see the distant view,
Of clarity sublime.
Of orders, reborn.
And civilisations asunder,
With dreams fickle as husks of corn.
"The foes of Kronos
Shall perish with him,
Replaced by sweet Stillness
The end of the change."
A universe ravaged by
Scores of stars,
Will soon depart
In endless gloom,
Like outward Mars.
Galacta of old,
Hear her speak,
Her words engraved in gold.
"The foes of Kronos
Shall perish with him,
Replaced by sweet Stillness
The end of the change."
"Await, in the world forgone"
Says she who knows;
"Awake, to the crisp of dawn"
In the starless night of late.
To entropy, we shall pray,
May he deliver us from our fate.
"The foes of Kronos
Shall perish with him,
Replaced by sweet Stillness
The end is the change."
2.
When the axioms were all blue but all be gone.
It was dark in time; Fidelity had yet not formed.
When time's across a distance all apart;
It is all just wailing.
We fall on the holy earth and depart;
The faith all trailing.
The creator, the forgiver,
We pray thee in our minds.
Absolve us of the gallows,
Galacta has us in binds.
We raise our hands held all too still;
From her shall we learn.
That faith acquaints us not to kill,
Just let them burn!
Time halts for the time when they shall rise;
Krikos, the inferno to nature's demise.
In flesh Kronos shall 'guise again;
What’s said is done.
We will fight and we shall bear the pain;
Till we have won.
It's war, it's destruction.
It is the eternal wrath.
But we want salvation
Galacta shows us the path.
We raise our hands held all too still;
From her shall we learn,
That faith acquaints us not to kill,
But to let them burn!
3.
Across the valleys of the old,
Lies what the sol clusters may unfold.
Of lost worth of time,
The faint divulgence of prime.
The lost segments shall gather,
All in the name of Her.
The acute rivers shall stand alone,
The blind oceans shall be gone.
When the rain stops to fall
And the sun halts to rise.
The holes in the memory shall be one,
For it has all begun.
The word is now heard.
The song is now sung.
What we see now,
Is what we saw then.
We fall out of the clouds.
We fall out of the sky.
We face our holy fate,
In Her name, we shall cry.
We rise again to the land.
The tears of the sea and sand,
Leads us back to the marvels.
The winds curve and the land freckles.
Kronos shall choose the one who Is able,
For none Is an ace and none Is a rebel.
The end of destiny,
The morrow of fate.
Rise the heroes of the slate.
Forged in the
fires of hell,
For the blades, they tell;
A tale of the birth of the one,
Whom fate commands to kill the Krydon.
The skies Are now dark,
The rivers no more blue.
Fate commands no more.
She told us what to do.
Time has now stopped,
For we shall now divide.
We shall not see the dawn till they all die.
Across the valleys of the old,
Lies what the sol clusters may unfold...
The Tears of Eternity.
The Tears of Eternity.
4.
I call upon all brothers in peace and Integrity.
I Flexkon Dustener, son of Frahlim Dustener and Lisa Damien,
I call to the edges of the Universe.
Eternity, hear me. For Galacta is, was and will be;
But ‘shall’ be if befalls Krydon.
It is time! It is time! It is time!
Hear not what say divine.
Hear not what say eternal.
For say may mortal be
But the cantos fall to thee.
The triumph of civility shall fall whence they divide.
I call upon all the wings of nature.
Guard us for our faith is fading.
The conflagration shall not be quenched
Be it the water of the holy.
We see their shadows.
We speak to our faith.
We deny We cry,
The Inferno, The Seraphs,
Oh, Galacta ... Listen well!!!
Science the terminus of knowledge,
within its walls it’s all beheld.
The civility ... denied... on the edge!!
The tears that cry what we felt.
Their time is our enemy,
ours is just a leap,
and it unfolds for none but villainy.
