Love & War: The Black Moons

Chapter 42: Descent Program

A shot of a Black Moon drifting in space is followed by a radar in the US Army bunker. Two comm officers gave the general an update.

"The Black Moons had stopped, but they've been reactivated," said the first comm officer.

"What did you say?" The general asks.

"Descent Program... it must have been activated."

"Data's coming in," announced the second one. "If the Black Moons drop to the surface, the resulting explosion will destroy everything within 10 kilometers."

The radar simulates the impact areas greater than 10 kilometers. The key targets are: London, Moscow, Calcutta, Beijing and Tokyo. New York and Rio were to be their original targets, but are off by a few miles. They seems to be centered around Quebec and Belo Horizonte, which is Portuguese for "Beautiful Horizon" and is the sixth largest city located in the Minas Gerais state in southeastern Brazil respectively.

"This monitor shows the countdown before the Moons drop."

A timer pops up over the map. It gives the time limit of 24 hours and counting down.

"Contact all departments!"
