Survivor Stories
Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2018 1:48 am
Aboard the USS Dauntless CVE steaming 220 miles South of Iceland
There was a shrill alarm on the bridge.
"Sir we have an incomming Emergency Action Message!"
The captain watched his communications chief and his first officer print the message and then break their code key cards to decript the message. The two men were visibly shaken as they finished decoding the message.
The chief called out "sir this message is authentic" immediately afterwards his first officer called out
"Sir, I concur, this message is authentic....I suggest that you sit down to read this one"
Captain Ramos began to read.

I wish the news could be good. Unfortunately, I must inform you that the news is extremely bad. According to our satellites, a new continent has arrisen in the missle of the Atlantic...perhaps the tales of Atlantis were not myths at all....perhaps it has returned. This event caused a 1000 foot tall Tsunami that decimated the east and gulf coasts from Maine to Texas. New York, Boston, DC, Miami, New Orleans, Houston and mamy others are gone. The wave traveled inland for hundreds of miles. Our best guess is that at the end of this the ocean level will have risen at least a hundred feet.
Multiple Earth Quakes of 7 to 9 have hit the west coast along with their associated tsunamis. Mount Saint Helens and 9 other Volcanos from Alaska to California have erupted. There are earth quakes arround Yellowstone so that is likely to go off as well. Lets be honest the continental US is likely to be covered in multiple feet of ash. On top of that we are apparently experiencing an invasion of some sort.
Nearly all of the governmental leaders including almost all of the high level military commanders are dead. A quick status check of the navy seems to reveal that roughly 2/3 of our naval vessels are gone. Most of our bases world wide also appear to be gone.
I am not sure how long I personally will survive. Therefore, I am enacting the sole survivor and C.O.G. protocols similar to if we had experienced a nuclear war. I am adding some provisions as follows:
1. The highest ranking individual in the military is likely to be in command of a squadron or naval vessel at sea. Therefore, whom ever that is based on rank and time served in that rank, what ever it is, is now the chairmen of the joint chiefs. I am not quite sure who that individual is or will be. But as of this moment they are promoted to the rank of Admiral with full authority to make field promotions as necessary in all branches.
2. You are now charged with the preservation of life as much as possible. Rescue who you can, but protect your own lives as well.
3. You are charged with the re-establishment of our country. The reality of which is that it may take several generations to do so.
4. When possible, please hold elections and restore our goverment and the rule of law.
I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
