The Meeting Everyone Has Been Waiting For!!!
Introduction
Hey everyone, Ace here! I have some exciting news regarding the development of Parallax’s story as well as a personal update that I can’t wait to share with you all. For more Parallax updates, be sure to check out the Writing and Storytelling section. And for general updates about our group, check out the Atomic Rush General Updates category.
Members vs. Characters
Before we get started, I want to remind you that the character c!Atlas is not to be confused with Atomic Rush’s member Atlas. That’s right, we wrote ourselves into the Parallax storyline. With that said, I’ll be referring to Atlas as “c!Atlas,” which means Character: Atlas, just so we don’t get the two confused. We’ll continue to do the same in articles where we talk about characters that are based off of members. For more information, be sure to check out the Members vs. Characters article.
Story Update
I know it has been a while since I last updated you all with the story, but I am thrilled to announce that the production of the story has been running really smoothly and I am super happy what I have written so far. Throughout the last month, I have been hard at work with a huge story arc where the Core 7 travel around the world with c!Atlas to discover mysterious ruins. Why are these ruins so important? Who knows. But what I can tell you is that c!Atlas has always been interested in finding the secrets behind these ruins to the point that she sent her best friend, c!Ace, to go discover the secret. However, he never returned. After several months, c!Atlas wants answers. She wants to know the truth about the ruins and, most importantly, what happened to her friend c!Ace. However, c!Atlas needs help and there is no better group than the Core 7 for the job.
The Meeting

As I said before, I have been hard at work writing the story and this is especially true over the summer. Over the summer I had been hoping to write the scene where c!Ace and c!Atlas reunite after a long time of being apart and on August 26th, 2022, I managed to write this scene. Why is this relevant you may ask? Well the answer is a lot more awesome than you may initially think.
On August 27th, 2022, I moved back into college to start my sophomore year and Atlas had already moved in to start her freshman year at the same school. Because of this, we were able to meet up in person and finally hang out as official Marist College students. I am so thankful to have been given the opportunity to have such an amazing partner in Atlas because she has always been there to motivate me, give me advice and make life a lot more fun. So Atlas, if you are reading this, thank you for all the amazing memories and I can’t wait to make many more memories.
Orcinus… Need I Say More?
On a separate note, I am happy to announce that our third member, Orcinus, was also able to meet Atlas in person as well, and I am happy to announce that I too was able to reunite with Orcinus. For those of you who don’t know, I met Orcinus during our second day of college and we’ve been friends ever since. We have made many memories and I can’t wait to make many more with her. Orcinus, if you are reading this, thank you for being an amazing friend, you have stayed with me through thick and thin and I couldn’t be any more grateful to your kindness.
Conclusion
Overall, a lot has happened since my last update and I am extremely happy with the direction that Atomic Rush is headed in. I’d like to take a moment to thank you all for all of your support because none of this would be possible without you. And with that, I’m signing off. Stay tuned for future announcements and keep on rushing!
Thanks for Reading!
