The Tears of Joy

Thee modern world as we know it has been brought to its

knees, by a small group of women refugees, using extraordinarily

advanced artificial intelligence and nano-enhanced weapons.

Millions are dead due to civil unrest, and a mass migration of

people from large cities to smaller towns has shifted the center of

power in every country in the world.

At what seemed to be the end of their short, sharp, and

devastating terror campaign, the terrorists gave the world hope-in the form of new generationally advanced renewable energy

systems.

But at a price.

The new world is not unlike that of a refugee camp-food and

water are scarce, neighbor fights neighbor, and the weak are preyed

on by the strong.

Then the terrorists introduce a new element into the mix-one

with the threat of total annihilation.

With no oil, petrol, or coal, no internet, and just a precious

few working computers, can this new threat be beaten down?
