New York 24th March 2030:

The Skyline:

The people New York´s:

"The new Microprocessors will be awesome Mr. Price", said an assistant.

"I hope so because unless not we can say "Goodbye!" to our jobs." said John Price.

The whole interest of the humans was one: MONEY! Money, Money, Money.

John Price was an assistant of a computer company which worked for new microprocessors. With an age of 18, John was a very qualifying guy about computers because he learned a lot about his father. His father was a military pilot for the U.S Air Force but he teach him everything about computers.

"ID confirmed", said the computer voice. And both entered to the conference room. On the room, there were many busy staffs who wait for the new product of the month and of course the boss. The only thing who was this guy interested was in MONEY. Of course who is it not?

The new product was a next generation microprocessor of a synthetic intelligence which does every order who you ordered to it.

1. August 2030:

YES MAN THEY DID IT. The new product was a complete success. The new microprocessors field everywhere. In new computers, gaming consoles, home stuff like elevators, multimedia technology and of course on the military. Yes on the military. No one knows if it was an good idea to do that but no one thought about the risks.

On a few weeks later, a general of the U.S Air Force base was very angry about the situation which happened to their base. The military used the synthetic intelligence to monitors their missile silo.

"I said it for a few days, it is to dangerous to give a machine the whole control about all missile silo and satellites." said John nervously.

"Never mind! I insist, that the problem will fixed NOW!" Or I shut down your whole company OK?!" said the general angry.

"OK we are trying our best ... but I cant see any problems on my monitor. The  systems runs fine Sir." called John.

"Maybe there was a problem with the temperature of the Servers and Computers but ... no there must be a report on his screen.

"Mr Price the US Government wont be so fine with you and your partners like me. So its better you and your guy fix that fast OK!" ordered the general.

"Ok, I am on my way.

29. August 2030:

"ISS Space station, here Ecco the system runs perfectly. Everything is right again. I said it there is nothing but no." Ecco said.

"Hey Ecco are you glad to go home soon?" asked Blair.

"Oh of course. Finally I can see my family and my son again. I promised them to go to the beach with them if I am back." he laughts.

"Alarm! Targets recognized" a computer voice said.

"What the hell? What happened? asked Ecco loud.

"Ecco come on here now ... Oh my God!" Blair screamed.

"Blair whats happen here?" asked Ecco.

"We have a very big problem." said Blair.

"And which one?" he asked.

"We have eliminated ourselves." said Blair

Blair looked out of the Windows. The whole Space station shook. Both were watching out of the windows and they saw, how the nuclear missile left their stations.

"OH MY GOD!" That's impossible." said Ecco shocked.

"COME ON! COME ON! WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO STOP THAT!" he shouted.

But it was to late. The satellites have confirmed their targets.

ISS-Space Station Voice: Targets locked!

New York - locked!

Washington DC - locked!

Philadelphia - locked!

Denver Colorado - locked!

Miami - locked!

Los Angeles - locked!

San Diego - locked!

San Franzisco - locked!

Ottawa - locked!

Phönix - locked!

Las Vegas - locked!

Estimated casualty figures: Over 250 Millions.

"OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD".

That was only the USA. Worldwide, they could see the explosions on the ground.

"What do you think? How many are dead already? Millions? Billions? God ... my wife ... my son and my daughter, I ... I will never see them again." cried Ecco.

"Come on!" shouted Blair. Maybe we can stop some satellite and save some towns." she explained.

But there was no chance to rescue someone. No one will surive this fallout. No one had an idea what happen now. No one had a chance to escape. No one can say goodbye to his family friends, or others.

After firing all nuclear missles the space stations destroyed themselves.

The population is warned of the impending disaster:

15 minutes earlier:

John was working on his computer. His partner was with him and told him about his problem with his wife. John was to concentrated on his work to hear about his friends problem.

"John?" asked Cooper his partner.

"Not now you see I am working." he explained.

"John please ... ehm ... look out the window!" pleased Copper to John to watch out of the windows.

John watched out.

"What the hell ... is that?" he asked for himself.

After he had checked what happened John said only:

"Cooper run ... run RUUUUUUUN!" he shouted.

Cooper was confused what his friend said but he followed him.

"EVERYBODY GO OUT OF THIS BUILDING NOW!" John screamed.

He saw how the missle strike directly to the skyline of New York. For a moment it was silenced but to the next moment there was a very bright light which blended John and the rest and on the follow moment there was a huge explosion.

The blast griped everyone on the building. Some of them were dead immediately. Johns friend Cooper too. The windows shot out of their frames and flew in the whole room. John was running out of the building. The earth quaked. He fell down. On the next moment, he saw how a bridge flew next to him with a lot of cars on it. A transporter was flying to him. If he realised what happened he run again. He felt down and hurts his leg after a hard shook from the ground. He was flying to the horse statue which was in front of him. The van comes closer and closer and before it hit him he was ... save? The van didn't catch him but all what he saw was a big empty room like a ... bubble? He saw how the destroyed buildings disappeared and he saw that grass, trees and mountains appear on the background. After that he felt again on the ground he shouted loud again. He saw hardly nothing. He couldn't open up his eyes.

The only thing which he realised was a .. blue thing which was coming near to him but it don't look like a human but he couldn't realize it because he was to week to realize something.

"H-H-Help ... me please ...." said John in pain.

Then he felt asleep...
