Prologue - Catastrophe

Catastrope

The world braced itself as a new threat approached, something that would change the world forever.

A chunk of mysterious rock, the size of a small city, previously unidentified, had entered the Solar System. Scientists, were baffled. The increase in detection of such celestial bodies had improved quite a bit, and for such an object to get by detection, scientists could not understand. Even worse, it was highly likely it would hit earth.

Highly likely, not 100%, because of its strange direction and. It seemed to shift slightly every so often, so its definitive course was not certain. How, it too was a mystery to people. No one knew how the object seemed to “Calibrate” its course, so people, seemed certain that it was a UFO.

The news was received to many different ears and arms. The world erupted into cheers and chaos, into diplomacy and militancy, into bouts of expectation and channels of fear.

The people talked and the people attacked. Many countries experienced open rebellions, many regions experienced an uptick of violent resortment. People didn’t know what to do, and what to expect. Suicides, rush shopping, and protests erupted. Many new conspiracy theories would arise, giving way to the increase of people believing that the end of the world was near.

For once, these assertions would be correct.

In preparation for the landing of the mysterious object (If it were to occur), teams of scientists and explorers were set to greet the alien visitors. Armies were mobilized and people were prepared for a doomsday scenario, while people debated on how to receive the mysterious object.

Diplomacy was decided on by a majority of the states, while some decided there would be no room for error; the visitor would have to be destroyed.
