The Mission (Part 2)
“Let’s talk about the mission,” It was the Director. Everyone turned to him, scared of the sudden change in his voice, he was scared but of what. Before Emma could question what was going on, the lights shut off, darkness consuming the room. All of a sudden a bright light pops up on the wall, a photo is in its place within a second. It was of Earth, but in the past. It wasn't full of futuristic things or dull colors. It was natural, green and full of life but Emma was about to find out that, that was about to change.
“This is the Earth 3 days before everyone and everything died.” the director strongly spoke again, snapping Emma out of her thoughts
The next photo was different to the first, this one was full of destroyed buildings, dark skies and dead bodies littering the ground. Emma felt her heart tighten at this.
The Director spoke again, voice breaking, “The cause of this was a nuclear bomb that was unstable and exploded.”
The photo changed again but this time it was to a bomb. The room was silent as the Director whispered the last few words,“killing everyone, except a select few.” Emma gasped at that. Bringing her hands up her face in shock as the next image was projected as she stared on with a horrified expression, but this time it was a video, a video that was recorded moments before the bomb exploded, killing everyone in its path, a video filled with screams of terror and large booming sounds, a video that showed everyone slowly dying from the 3rd degree burns the nuclear bomb caused...and all of a sudden the video disappeared and everyone was left in pitch black. No one said anything, no one knew what to say and then the lights came back on snapping them all out of trance. Emma’s mind was racing with questions. How did this even happen? Why did this happen?
