It had been over three hundred years since the last nuclear bomb had been disarmed and sent on a rocket into the sun. All the schematics had been burned and all the knowledge erased from books, papers, and computers. Nuclear weaponry only existed in the heads of those who created it. Up until ten years ago, the nuclear age had passed from the forethought of men. But knowledge like that can never be erased, and after the Colony War of A.C. 196, the first atom bomb in four and half centuries was dropped.
The peace won after the Colony Wars lasted only five months. When the first bomb was detonated in Washington, D.C., of the former United States, mass chaos ensued. No one knew who was behind the act of terror, so naturally, people blamed each other. The fragile newborn World Nation collapsed as former nation reestablished their territorial lines, and the second and third bombs were dropped. The new United States mass-retaliated against their believed attackers, setting one bomb upon the reorganized countries of Syria and Saudi Arabia. It did not take more than a month before eleven other countries reassumed the knowledge of nuclear warfare. Saudi Arabia dropped four bombs in the new United States: New York City, Los Angeles, Houston, and Cape Canaveral. Syria, in a joint effort, took out London and Manchester, England, and Berlin, Germany, both realigned and declared allies with the new U.S.
The lines between allies and enemies began to blur after that, as old cultural differences were rehashed and old alliances reborn. The war shifted from nuclear to biological warfare as the first worldwide retrovirus bioweapon was released, attacking ally and foe alike. A year had past since the first bomb, when the colonies completely cut off contact from the Earth, leaving them to their plague. The death toll had been at 1.4 million when contact ceased.
After the plague ravaged the world, being carried to even the most remote regions by personal jets, boats and unregulated shuttle, a new form of virus plague was set into motion, attacking not humans, but vital crops. And the death toll rose.
Three years after the first bomb dropped, the organization responsible for it stood up and proclaimed itself. Not a radical underground freedom group or an Illuminati-esque world-shaping organization, but the grandson of the last CEO of Lockheed Martin, one of the largest weapon suppliers during the Colony Wars. He and his personal militia admitted their crimes against humanities, but far too late. There were too many debts to be paid between countries now. The war they had created for profit had gone far beyond anyone's control, as governments retaliated against each other, overthrew each other, and switched alliances until everyone was an enemy.
Seven years after the first bomb dropped, planes began to disappear from the sky. With no factories, parts, or refined petroleum left to fuel them, and no time, money, or resources for new, airplanes became fewer and fewer. There were so few aboveground cities and bases left, that air power was practically useless already.
Eight years after the first bomb dropped, radios stopped functioning. Batteries were simply not being made anymore. Internet, television, telephones, and satellites had disappeared a few years back, when countries destroyed all their enemy's lines of communication.
Ten years after the first bomb dropped, the planet's surface is all but a nuclear wasteland, crops eaten by virii-carrying insects, soil salted, and water polluted. Rabbits, rats, and other rodents carry the mutated retrovirus plagues and are rampant throughout most livable region of Earth. Most of those people still left are probably immune, but the carriers for the Ebola-like virus is still given wide berth. Nearly nomadic, armies roam their continents for stores of food and small upstart villages pray to survive the looters and the winter upon them. Underground cities, deserted without the power to run then, have become virtual ghost towns to all but bats and mice. There has still been no known contact from the colonies in almost nine years.
