The Price We Paid
It's 2013
Everything the doomsayers have predicted has come true.
The world suffered a depression, the economy collapsed.
Global warming has hit its height and most of the islands of the Pacific are completely underwater.
Sydney and most of the east coast of Australia has run out of water.
The average temperature has risen a whopping 8 degrees Celsius.
Prime Ministers keep resigning and the King has no answer to the Empire's problems.
All countries are in trouble. There's no one to send aid.
The world has run out of oil. The Air Force has collapsed and intake is so low in the other ADF forces that the Army has suffered and the Navy can only maintain half their fleet.
Bushfires ravage the major cities and most country towns.
The drought has made farming virtually impossible and fresh food intake is down 96%
Businesses have collapsed. Suburbs are in ruins.
People have nothing…
People have nowhere…
People are desperate for answers
In the midst of this, a small collection of the last of the Navy ships, fuelled by nuclear energy, is trying to protect what is left of Australia.
Amongst them the little patrol boat that could, the HMAS Hammersley.
Now captained by Lieutenant Commander Nikki 'Nav' Holiday, her strong crew are hell-bent on survival and the safety of Australians everywhere.
But that's easier said than done in a world that has gone to hell…
Part One;
Crisis Point
The world is a mess. For the crew of the Hammersley, the first issue is the safety of their family when those who have nothing start to attack those in Australia that still have something. Finding it isn't safe on the mainland for their loved ones, they evacuate to the Hammersley. But, when a silent enemy stalks the Hammersley, they soon realise that the sea is no safer.
