April 4, 2125: Nuclear war on earth! Their worst nightmare had come true
on earth. Nuclear Holocaust, The Islamic militant nations of the middle east
had hit Israel with three multi megaton nuclear devices. Israeli ships at sea had
immediately retaliated with 112 nuclear devices of their own. Between the time
that Israel was hit and the middle eastern nations were wiped off the map the
Islamics had launched almost two hundred additional nukes toward every
nation on Earth that they considered non believers. Immediately after the
introduction of nukes, North Korea had launched thirty more nukes at China,
Japan and South Korea. Japan, South Korea and China had all launched
nukes at North Korea. Pakistan had launched nukes at India and India had
launched nukes at Pakistan. All told there were over six hundred nukes
detonated on Earth within two hours. When the war ended there were eleven
billion people still alive on the Earth. They all had received, or would receive a
lethal dose of radiation within the next thirty days as the winds carried the
contamination throughout the atmosphere of the planet. All animals on Earth
were suffering the same fate.
Because of superior missal defense systems there were no missals able
to penetrate the United States. There were two suicide bombers carrying
satchel nukes inside the continental U.S. One detonated his devise in front of
1300 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C. Within five minutes of the first
missal hitting Israel. The other was detonated at the location of The United
States Missal Defense manufacturing plant in Phoenix, Arizona a few minutes
later. Two other suicide bombers were apprehended before they could
detonate their devises, one in New York City and one at U.S. Missal Defense
headquarters at Fort Collins, Colorado. There were two other suit case nukes
detonated in North America, One took out Ottawa, Canada, the other Mexico
City. Other than these satchel nukes the North American continent had been
spared a direct hit.
April 14, 2125: The seventeen people on duty at the Green Valley
nuclear power station had kept their wits about them. Because the team leader
was a qualified nuclear physicist named Tom Eddy, he had taken readings
every hour. He gathered the workers together and made an announcement,
“You all know what has happened on Earth today. We were spared a direct hit
but I don't know if spared is the right word. I know that you have all been
watching the instruments and you know that the radiation level here at the plant
is above normal. It has not reached the critical level yet but it soon will. I am
afraid that there is nothing we can do about that, it is going to happen, there is
nowhere to hide. Even in the safe room, if we all went in there and shut the
door we would eventually run out of critical supplies. This entire planet is
doomed. You have two choices. You can go home to be with your loved ones
until the end, and that is what I recommend that you do. I have no one to go
home to so I am going to remain here to safely shut this plant down. You may
wonder, if what I have just told you is true then why bother? The reason is that
in fifty to one hundred years this planet will have rejuvenated itself. All of
humanity is not doomed, just those of us on Earth. There must be more than
one hundred thousand human beings on Mars and Arton who will want to
reclaim the Earth when it is safe for them to do so. When that day comes I
would like for them to find this power station intact. If we just abandon the plant
it will go to critical mass and add to the contamination which will prolong the day
when mankind can return. I would appreciate it if one or two others of you who
have nothing better to do with the last week of your lives would remain behind
with me to help in this task. Another consideration is that we provide electrical
energy to almost half a million people who are still alive. It would make their
final days more comfortable if they continued to receive power. I plan to put on
a radiation suit as soon as this conversation ends so I will be around long
enough to provide them power until they have all succored then I intend to shut
the plant down properly.” Nine of the seventeen people either agreed to remain
at the plant or to go gather their families and return. Tom asked one of those
who were leaving to contact the local TV broadcasting station that had a
manned antenna site nearby and have them contact as many of the other
nuclear power plants as they possibly could and tell them what I have just told
you. One of the women said, “I have children at home that I need to be with but
I will inform the TV station technicians of what you have just told us.” “I
recorded this conversation Janie so all you will have to do is to deliver audio
recording to them and make sure they listen to it. I will also play a copy of the
recording over our power grid radio system and hope that the word gets out.
April 14, 2125: Shortly after departure from Mars The A1heard on the
radio the jumble of messages coming through from Earth. They elected to
chance using warp one briefly within the solar system, something an Arton ship
had never done before. Mars was presently at it's furtherest point from Earth
and the A1wanted to get there as soon as possible. They kicked into Warp
drive for thirty seven minutes. Once they came out of warp they barely had
time to fire the retro rockets before making Earth orbit.
April 15, 2125: Tom Eddy had heard back from over one hundred of the
more than five hundred nuclear plants in the United States and Canada. They
had left messages for him saying that they had already decided on the same
course of action that he had proposed or had decided to when they got his
message.
April 16, 2125: Tom Eddy and his loyal crew shut down the plant safely
then removed their radiation suits and willingly drank the deadly cocktail that
they had prepared.
April 16, 2125: Humanity, on Earth ceased to exist.
