Mead, Michigan
United States of America
5/12/74 A.N.P*
Jason Marx fell back into his reclining chair for the 1577th time and drew in a large breath, savoring the Michigan air around him. He knew it was the 1577th time he had fell back because he had counted every time he had. He counted because frankly, he was bored out of his mind. Not even the beautiful vista offered to him by his place in a guard tower gave an escape from his boredom. As he leaned forward in his chair awaiting the 1578th time he would fall back he looked down below to see the work town of Mead before him.
Mead was a town of prefabs in perfect rows like every other work town in the union. It had a movie theater to the east, a pub to the west, a town hall in the middle and little stores sprinkled all around its otherwise drab self. The only thing that made Mead even worth mentioning was the Mead nuclear reactor. Supplying power to eleven surrounding communities and an air force base in Ohio, because of this Mead had some significance.
Jason stood up, accidentally knocking over his M-37**. He thought that maybe he could go to the pub and relax for a while. Jason walked over to his partner Lupin who was on the other side of the guard tower. Lupin was engrossed in a book and took no notice of Jason.
“Hey Lup!” Jason said. “Do you want to join me and get hammered?”
“Of course not.” Lupin said. “Besides we are still on…”
Lupin was cut off from the beeping of a nearby comm terminal. That meant only one thing, someone was approaching Mead. Both Jason and Lupin rushed over to the comm terminal. Jason touched the terminal’s screen activating two way communications with whomever was approaching.
“Bravo” said Jason into the terminal.
No response.
“Bravo” said Jason again.
“Lima” responded the terminal.
“Present verification code” said Jason in a monotone voice, as if he had this conversation a thousand times before.
“Charlie 76 Foxtrot Bravo Bravo 1138 Delta 5” responded the terminal. The code was for a vehicle transporting materials for the nuclear reactor.
“You are approved” said Jason before shutting off the terminal.
Jason turned around to see Lupin with a puzzled look on his face.
“I know” Jason said. “That code was only valid 2 months ago”
Jason and Lupin quickly exited the guard tower with their rifles and side arms ready in case anything were to happen. They entered the nearest humvee and drove to intercept the transport vehicle. They eventually came to meet the transport vehicle and blocked its path to Mead. The transport vehicle stopped and a single man exited from the driver’s side. He walked slowly toward Jason and Lupin as if he had no idea why he had been stopped. As the man moved forward, Jason spotted something moving around his neck. It was a necklace with a little t at the end… wait, not a t but a crucifix. What the hell was he or any of his kind doing outside of a free practice zone? Jason thought. However, this was not the time for contemplation, so the instant Jason saw the crucifix he raised his M-37 and pointed it at the lone man.
“On the ground!” Jason shouted. “Show me your FRID***!”
The man was startled but didn’t drop to the ground. Instead he said “What’s going on? Did I do something wrong?”
“I said on the fucking ground! Show me your FRID or I will shoot!” Jason yelled, paying no attention to the man's question.
While Jason was preparing to shoot Lupin walked around to the back of the transport. The man noticed this and quickly pulled a gun on Lupin.
“Damn you!’ the man shouted.
That however was the last thing the man said as Jason quickly unloaded on him. His head was blown open after the first shot and his bloodied corpse fell to the ground.
“Shit!” Jason yelled furiously. “Lupin, check out whatever that wacko was hiding back there.” As Lupin moved to the back of the transport, Jason walked over to the corpse that lay before him. He kneeled down and took off the man’s shirt to see a crucifix necklace around his neck. Yes, he was a Christian alright. The real question was, what was he doing out here?
“Hey Jason check this out!” Lupin called from behind the transport. Jason followed Lupin’s voice to the back of the transport only to wish he hadn’t.
“Damn…” Jason said under his breath. Inside the transport were enough explosives to destroy both the reactor and half of Mead. At that moment the same thought ran through both Jason and Lupin’s minds.
Why?
* After Nuclear Power is now the standard time scale used. It sets 1937 C.E as year 0 with everything before as B.N.P (So yes this takes place in 2011)
** Standard American assault rifle
*** Free Roam Identification Device… it is necessary for any monotheist to have one if they wish to leave a free practice zone.
I hope you all enjoy it!
