They did it, the mad lads actually did it. Most of the Superpower countries, or as I like to call them "The Big Boys", had already tried the best to restrain themselves from using any weapons of mass destruction on the glass wars but China had the itchy finger and fired the first nuke. From there it is obvious that retaliation was gonna be expected. Luckily for the human race, we were ready for it. Project Asfalís was the last line of defense from the complete extinction of the human race. It consisted of just your typical sci-fi cryosleep, you know, the usual to save us from incoming doom. However that's the thought, it is meant to save humanity, not the masses. You see the higher-ups thought about choosing people at first but they realize that the act of choosing anyone would be selfish making people go into panic and rioting to be the ones to be saved, not only that but they wanted to choose the best that humanity had to offer in order for us to rebuild in the new world. That is why 50 babies from different races were taken from unnamed mothers by the government to be raised as humanity's torch. However it still was hope for the war to end without any nuclear storm but no one really is a psychic to know what will happen, and unfortunately for us too, we didn't see shit.
Jackson was eating his last meal in the lounge that by now was completely empty apart from cooks washing dishes in the back kitchen. Chewing at his stake as he stared at the great beyond Jackson wondered if this day was even real. "Yo Jackson better hurry up finishing that crap, they want us at the pods by 7" a voice of a girl broke his daydreaming as he turned around to see a girl in an orange jumpsuit "Can't I just enjoy my last food before my century nap Jolyne?" Jackson said still chewing on the steak "Gross" Jolyne said under her breath "Well just hurry up and suit up I don't want to hear Dad screaming today" Jolyne walked out the cafeteria her footsteps echoed to the lack of anything happening in the facility. Jackson sighed and finished his steak, "It's Showtime" he said to himself as he left the lounge. He walked down the halls of the facility everything felt cold to him as he knew that today was the day that humanity would die. Jackson changed into his orange jumpsuit and headed towards the pod room where some people were already waiting on him. "Well, I guess that is everyone" a man in a business suit known as Dad said "I'm sure you all heard about the nuclear war that started, and that the ice caps are melting at an alarming speed" Dad said to the 10 people that were in the room "Anything in the surface will die and the other four sectors already decided to activate the program" Dad sighed as he looked at his watch "I think is time to join your brothers and sisters, it's been an honor raising you" Dad said with tears starting to accumulate in his eyes "you guys have 5 minutes to say your goodbyes to everyone" with that Dad left the room closing a blast door behind him. Jackson turned towards Jolyne "I swear to God I will kill you right here if you tell me that we will bang" Jolyne said annoyingly to him "Are you kidding me? Who knows what will happen but I just want to tell you that you were a good friend to me and thank you for being there for most of my life" Jackson smiled at Jolyne who smiled back. Everyone began to get in their pods and before Jackson got on his he turned to Jolyne "Hey and one more thing" Jolyne turned to him "We'll bang ok?" Jackson smugged as Jolyne rolled her eyes "I will kill you when we wake up". Jackson's pod closed as he heard air hiss, his eyes started to get heavy and soon enough lost conscious.
