"Oh my god. It's actually happening. We have reading across the board of launches happening everywhere. They must've thrown everything they had, and it looks like we didn't hold back either. The computer says we have 2 minutes until the first missile drops."

"I was in a shelter with my father when the bombs hit. In DC, we had the luxury of getting a warning after the west coast was… gone… I was just a little girl then. We couldn't afford a space in one of the Vaults. I remember filing down into that shelter, my father rushing me in. He stopped to help this one family, and I looked up and called his name… there was a flash of light, brighter than anything you can imagine. I woke up a few hours later. The first thing I did was run up to where my father had been. He… he was gone. But the strangest thing… There was his shadow, burned into the wall, so crisp and clear like he was standing next to me. The heat had burned it into the concrete… The city was on fire for weeks… maybe months, I don't know. I hid down here in the museum… it was the closest building to the shelter I was in. But I could hear what was happening above. People howling like animals. Chaos. Looting, killing, it's like every foul thing inside of them came out. It was a nightmare… I… I don't want to talk about it."

It is mankind, rather, who insists upon making it difficult for life to exist upon this planet.

The only certainty in this world is chance.
