1 And he said, "On the eve of atomic holocaust"
2 "You will find a new sun and it will shine on our new world."
3 "You shall call it Concordia, and it New Concord"
4 "The capital city I promised you"
5 "10,000 years of peace for all my children."
6 "And I shall lead the way."
7 And with that, he left, ascended with the gods themselves
8 Left us, for the new world, to wait for our arrival.


The Ministry of Science of the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan

Today, on the 12th anniversary of Glorious High Father's death, we have been rewarded with the first part of the prophesy.

During the conflict with the Reich, we self-destructed our nuclear weapons mid flight in observance of the Christmas Ceasefire. In order to preserve several costly satellites we had to realign our telescope, "Observation and Enlightenment" and spotted a star that had the classification of P3D-998. It is approximately 7.3 light years from Earth. It was a yellow star, roughly our sun's size. We noticed the classic lack of light and detected several gas giants.

However, there was a lump on the side of one of the gas giants. Further analysis showed that P3D-998 had a rocky planet, approximately 1.2 AUs from its sun. We did the standard spectroscopy and what we found was astonishing.

A nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, signs of water, and returns in the form of chlorophyll. While this may be premature, we are announcing the finding of a world capable of supporting human life outside our solar system.

This fits exactly with the prophesy in that during a brief nuclear exchange, we shall see a new sun, our new home. We are calling that system Concordia, and naming the planet New Concord. We have also claimed that system for colonization and will be sending a sleeper ship with 12 cosmonauts for colonization.

We shall launch in two years.

The sleeper ship was one of a few prototypes, they had been tested, and they had worked, now finally they had a mission that went beyond resupplying the moon base. They were going to the stars.

The ship's ship had arrived to take it to the Leafanistani Space Elevator, miles and miles of cable soaring into space, locked into an asteroid Tannenmille long ago towed them.

The announcement was a lie, they were going to launch in a month, but they had to give the other's hope. There were 3 other 'moon' ferries that were quickly being modified at Peace and Tranquility Asteroid for launch to New Concord. And enough time for the war factories to shift from tanks to the highly complex systems each sleeper ship would work on.

There was one odd thing, a man, Musab al Zaraqwi, leader of Saharistan, cursed to sleep 10,000 years (NS years), as punishment for his crimes, was being loaded onto one of the sleeper ships. Another tube, that of his assistant, and another tube, containing the remains of Osama Bin Laden was substituted for him. Why was unknown. And deep inside one of the ships, a computer program thought purged wormed its way onto a sleeper ship mainframe.
