M.A.D
(a four AM creation.)
M.A.D, Mutially Assured Destruction.
the fear of the cold war for us passed more or less harmlessly. but in a world of alternate dimentions, in this world, it did not. after the nuclear arms stock buldup in Turkey, the Soviet Union responded by arming Cuba, creating the well known Cuban Missile Crisis. an american blockade was set up around the island, and the President of the U.S. made his declaration that unless all missiles were disarmed and removed, he would destriy all the ships in the carribian, and then launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against the U.S.S.R.
this is where the similarity ends. The soviet Union had divisions circling the silos in Turkey, and knew that if the States launched, by the time that their missiles would hit, the U.S.S.R. would be able to launch their thermonuclear warheads. the blockade was therefore overrun.
The American President not having this insight came through with his declaration, and as soon as the blockade had been violated, thousands of nukes were on their way to Russia and it's buffer countries.
Russia launched back, sweeping the states with death. the rest of the U.S.S.R. launched on the U.S allies, destroying Britain, France, Germany, most of west europe. In responce to this, western euopean nuclear powers launched on the reminants of the U.S.S.R.'s influence zones, the Middle East and the carribean.
to make a long story short, every first world country excepting Alaskan United States, Canada, and the upper reaches of Siberia, have been utterly destroyed. Nuclear fallout did not respect borders, and killed most of southern Canada as well. leaving only the frozen north untouched.
nukes also touched death into mexico, leaving only the far north, central america, Australia, and it's surrounding nations, and part of africa alive.
for twenty years, the world cowered, and healed. nuclear fallout would not dissapear for many years to come, but something strange happened, diring this time, a change in evolution happened. those people not in the blast radius did not all die. suffering from severe radiation poisoning, lukemia and other diseases claimed many lives, but over time, the human body coped and overcame this. people in central Canada, and southern mexico, the coasts of Asia, and the northern phillipines lived. their bodies were horribly disfigured, skin took on a new meaning, for some it did not exist, rather a strange film covered their body, for others the skin melted, and cracked, andthen hardened, leaving them a shell. bones became more flexible, or stiffened even farther, these mutants peoples were both very unique, and very weak. certainly able to live their lives, and with a higher immune system than a regular human, but natural defences, like an entire body with flesh, or seeping holes therough their torso, that revealed pulsing organs left them as frail beings without some kind of external armor.
After twenty years, the normal world has comeback to claim what is there's, a decade of slaughter and massacres of the evolved took place, the australians, and the central americans, northerners moving back to capture what was inhabitable of Mexico, Canada, Asia. the major blast zones still would not let a man live longer than a few days, but out of them came strange beasts, it'ssaid that cockroaches and beetles can survive the kind of radiation that a nuke gives off, but the constant doses have left worms the size of trains burrowing underground, beetles the size of cars and other creatues, misformed greatly, some able to secrete and project acidic saliva, and such. these beasts now roam freely, keeping withing the mutant world for the most part, for their survival among normal people is gunned down.
you may think that we are taking back out land, regaining what is ours, raising civilization back from the ashes, but we are not. finally we are taking course, we are the vile sludge belched back from death into this world. after a decade of massacres we have found outselves, and also found the will to fight, to carry on, to create our world, if for nothing else than to be left alone. but what can a group of poorly armed freaks do against the trained thugs the new world sends in, armed, armored, and with the gleam of conquest in their eyes?
