The Cusp

Collision Earth
Recall: 7/10
Sleep: OK
Sleep Position: Unknown

A rogue planet is detected that is on a collision course with earth. It's much larger than the earth, and will completely destroy us if it hit, so I go into space with 2 other people to see what we can do. Since the rogue planet is so large and still far away, altering it's orbit is out of the question. That means we have to alter the orbit of the earth. Not an easy thing to do. So I come up with the idea of crashing the moon into the earth.

We discuss the idea briefly, my companions saying we need the moon to help regulate our planet. I tell them we'll build a new moon. Not having any other options, we use our space ship to push the moon towards the earth, then fly back home. We land just before the moon hits.

The moon crashes into the north pole, which we figured was as far away from populated areas as we could get. I knew this collision would be bad, but I wasn't prepared for just how bad. A massive shockwave travels the entire earth from pole to pole, destroying everything in it's path. And yet it was still better than the alternative. Many people die, but many survive. The human race, and our planet continues on.

Alien Invasion
Recall: 3/10
Sleep: OK
Sleep Position: Unknown

There's an alien invasion. Creepy tall skinny aliens in black suits are grabbing everyone. My group of survivors hole up in a house and begin to prep it for survival. As we do, we feel a barrage of mental energy hit it. I look outside and the house is surrounded those creepy aliens. We grab whatever makeshift melee weapons we can, and head out to fight the aliens.

Luckily for us, some other people happened onto the scene, and the aliens went after them, leaving us alone for the moment. Since we're out, we decide to raid the other houses for supplies. The first house seems empty, but we find a family in there. We offer to have them join us, but they refuse, which is too bad because they have good food supplies.

The second house I hit is empty, but as I gather supplies, the owners come home. Bad luck.
