NOTES

As noted in the Model Sheet, the Engineer is an Atlantean, but he works for a company involved with the Empire Of The Phoenix, a company which is a direct competitor of another business venture that is located in Poseidonis (Atlantis' capital city/island).
Our goal is to depict the complexity of a lost civilization which is not that different from ours: the "political blocks" are not clearly divided, as there are various degrees and shades of interaction and relation between them.

The Engineer stated openly that it's been a sabotage act, because there were other theories (for instance, another explosion inducted by the sphere).

The Blue Sphere will be found again in the future: the place will be the same, the African region known as Orange, as shown in the aforementioned "Il leone del Transvaal" (Almanacco del Mistero 2011) (a comic that features a lost novel by Italian writer Emilio Salgari).

The Sphere looks blue because it's different from real life Spheres (which are golden or brownish): "blue" means a rarer type of Sphere, with different features (the "handbook instructions", namely).
