Sometime during the year 2030 our deep space probes sent back imagery of an unidentifiable object. Completely spherical, with no visible opening or indentations, and black in color. The glares from the probe's light on the surface of the object suggest it is metallic in nature. We have no idea what it is, what it's made of, or where it came from. What we do know, is that this object is classified as a planet cracker, and is on a direct course for earth. On March 17th, 2031 media outlets reported that the S.S Eternal, a NASA funded mission to the moon, went silent. The whole crew, along with their ship, are classified as missing, likely dead. What you don't know, is that this was a one way mission. The S.S Eternal, carrying a payload of several nuclear warheads, was tasked with stopping the object. The crew would not be returning. Still, there were several volunteers. Call it planetary patriotism, but these men and women gave their lives to detonate this object. They didn't even leave a scratch on its surface. Afterwards, the news of this planet-buster was shared with worldwide governments. Unfortunately, nobody had any real ides to stop it, all proposals seemed to fall short of stopping what we now know as Object XVI, or Andromeda. We had six years to prepare, which is part of the reason I'm here. You'd have to be blind if you didn't notice the sudden spree of apocalypse shelters springing up around the globe, the decline in funding for basic humanitarian needs, and so forth. Your quality of life may have declined, but for once, we came together. War ceased suddenly, and resources were diverted to these bunkers. I am a part of Project A.R.K, handpicked for talents that now allow me to document these events unnoticed. The Association of Record Keeping is tasked with compiling all information, every single shred of knowledge. To prepare for what comes after. Object XVI has a very high chance of just shattering the planet entirely. However, our greatest minds predict that we could make it through and that means preparing for a bleak future. I believe in that chance, however small it may be. I could be killed, or worse, exiled to await my fate for this. The guilt keeps me up at night, I stare up at the ceiling at night just wondering how would I would feel. I'd want to know if impending doom was heading towards us, wouldn't I? Try to reserve a space in one of these shelters nobody is taking seriously, right? Well, it's time to be serious. Three Months. That's how long you have to live. Shelter Reservations are quite expensive, I know. If you're reading this, do everything you can. Sell everything, mortgage your house, sell your car, take out every dime of your savings before the panic hits. Buy a space. Save yourself, save your family, save your friends. If you don't believe me, ask yourself about the events occurring right now. The sudden spree of "celebrity vacations". Ask yourself why the state no longer has government assisted funding for your roads, schools, and hospitals. The spree of enormous construction projects flooding through social media. Take a look around you, you'll start to see it. Good luck from, The Watcher[/color]
