Unification (1999)

In the year 2110, Earth is controlled by the Iron Savior. The gigantic machine (built in Atlantis to defend the lost continent against its enemies, the so- called Alliance) is still mistaken. The computer analysis still identifies man as the destroyer of Atlantis. So it continues to carry out the prime directive: Protect Atlantis and conquer the Alliance.

On Earth, only a few people managed to hide from the bloodhounds of the Savior in the former Earth Defence Headquarters (E.D.H.) underneath the everlasting ice of Greenland. The machine, from the very first moment of its arrival, was transmitting signals directly to the Atlantic Ocean, North Africa, South America and the Easter islands. This behaviour led some people to the "theory of Atlantis". And, in fact, after a major search for anything related to the old myth, some artifacts were found on the Azores and on the Easter islands. The dig on the Easter islands uncovered something like the entrance to an ancient structure of unknown purpose. Shielded and protected by force fields of unknown sources, the station couldn't be entered by anybody yet. But all of a sudden another transmission - similar to the Savior's transmission but yet different - was detected. Sensors indicated that the source must be located right in the heart of the ancient structure.

The attempts to enter the station made the last Atlantean on earth awake from his 300,000 year stasis sleep. The "Sleeper" was the last member alive of the Atlantean Iron Savior Defense program. But when he transmitted the secret codes to direct the controls of the Savior to his station, something unexpected happened. The computer unit refused to obey his command. It almost appeared to him as if the unit was conscious - with a will of its own, just like an organic life form.

The awakening of the Sleeper and the contact with the last Atlantean on earth brought a lot of clarity and turned the "theory of Atlantis" into a hard fact. On the other hand, the situation did not change at all since the machine seemed to disobey the orders of its creators. The only chance to free mankind from the Savior was to awake the Bio-unit. But even the possibility of that seemed doubtful if the robot had indeed developed a consciousness and now acted like a being, with emotions and the hunger for power. It was very likely that the computer would also disobey the orders of the Bio-unit. So the Savior had to be defeated or destroyed, which at that time seemed to be impossible.

In this situation, a big fleet of alien vessels enters the solar system. They have come from the distant planet of Caldaris to investigate the transmission of the Iron Savior. The Calderans are the ancestors of the Atlantean fugitives. Their forefathers left the dying civilization of Atlantis to find a new home in the vastness of space. But over the millennia they forgot about their origin and the Old World became a myth of legends and tales. The Calderans had never given up the search, although thousands of expeditions returned to Caldaris without a clue. But this time they have reached their final destiny. Together with the Sleeper, mankind is able to make contact and explain the fatal mistake of the Savior. So now, with the unexpected help from the stars, Earth will fight the final battle and it seems that the Savior will be defeated.

And the time of unification for all of mankind is about to come...
