Time was 1a.m, 20th April, 3067.

Two more hours.

***

Time was 3.01a.m, 20th April, 3067.

Now.

Johnny was dressed in full battle gear. As a captain, he was allowed around a country from 1a.m to 5a.m. The gear was a different story.

He turned on the B-32-A infraed binoculars. One guard.

He took out the weapon.

A simple crossbow. With a titanium bolt.

"Fwoosss..."

A sickening squlech, and a dull thud.

The way was clear.

***



He rushed in silently, turning on the personal cloaking system.

He was a human chameleon now.

He rushed up the watch tower.

He turned on the infraed binoculars.

He looked down.

Nobody but him.

3.17a.m.

Good time.

He moved silently around the building.

The bombs he held were big.

And powerful.

The Quantum-Destroying Moleculer bomb was, literally anti-matter. They tore apart an atom to fuse and implode the quantum particles in it. In esscence, it was a fission bomb, but without the radiation.

He planted one at the North-East corner of the massive building.

He moved to the other side of the building.

He stepped on crisp grass on the way.

Johnny thought little of it.

Footsteps.

***

Footsteps.

Running.

Towards Johnny.

"Shit!" Johnny whispered.

He cocked and loaded his crossbow, with an explosive charge.

Footsteps.

Ten, twenty men.

Johnny suddenly dropped into a roll, then into a bush.

The footsteps stopped.

Eighteen men.

"Fwosswop..."

"Click."

"What the..."

"De-CHHHHUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"

The place went up in flames.

No time.

The place would go soon.

Johnny ran past, all the way to the other side of the facility.

He quickly set the Quantum-Destroying Moleculer bomb.

He ran out of the base, and into his ATHP.

He turned on the hoverpads, and flew over the land at top speed.

He counted.

"Five clicks...Ten clicks...Twenty clicks...Forty clicks. Done."

He flicked the switch.

The next day, the Confederal Nuclear Research Facility was a ruined ghost town.
