The United States military have just generated a new weapon. A weapon so powerful that it makes the h-bomb look like nothing more than a little firecracker. To test the full effects of this latest and most dangerous of weapons, the detonation will take place on a small island in the middle of the Pacific far from any other landmass.

But there is a local populace aren't very happy with the knowledge that their ancestral home is being erased off the face of the planet and have chosen to remain despite being offered new homes, lands and whatnot on another island a few thousand miles away. Why is the military to do with such an uncooperative group? And why are they so insistent about staying there?
