Date Unknow- We're lost, starving, and scared. Date Unknow- This ship was a bad idea. __Darker Times are Ahead__ By: Jace Dunlap

Hello, my name is Cooper. If anyone finds this video that means I did my job. In this video I will attempt to perserve the events directly before and years after our planets destruction. The current Date is +547.5. I think the actually 'year' is 2014 or 15, I don't know exactly. Here is what I've put together.

Date -365 2011 "//This is Montana this Morning.// //Hello, hope you're all having a great 21st of December. In our top story scientists from Iowa have discover an asteroid about the size of Manhaten. It has just passed Pluto and is not expected to collide with our planet."//

Date -182.5 2012 "//This is Montana this Morning. Hello it is a great start to the summer and a hot one too, but before we get to that, remember that asteroid we told you about in December, it has collided with another one, unseen because it was hiding behind Jupiter and both are now on a new course. Neither one is expected to interact with the world we live on."//

Ironicly it did. Well, not the first time it passed by. The asteroid didn't come within 1,000 miles of Earth. It kep flying, passed Venus and Mercury with no disruptions, towards the Sun following the path that astronomers had predicted. This is were we went wrong, the asteroid was supposed to politely leave our solar system, instead something moved it so the gravitational force of our star spun the asteroid right back around at us. By that time there was no hope for America. Fortunetly I was on a trip to Italy and as it turned out Germany knew about this destructive event for YEARS! They had been building a huge ship that would be able last long time in space. Thats where im living right now. America tried to build an underground bunker. They never finished it but it wouldn't have mattered anyway, the entier planet was obliterated. What you will read after this will be a series of logs that I'll add whenever I get a chance.

Date +1642 It has been four years. I just found out that the ship has been traveling close to light speed. I have no idea how far we are from where we started. More importantly, my class mates and I have discovered a solar system very similar to ours.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Date +3832 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">The ship is running out of power. The rooms are darker. Food is short. We are moving toward our destination slower than before. The ship has solar panels but we are far from a light source.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Date +5657 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">We are close engough to see that the solar system has nine planets, the outermost one is very small. A few are gas giants.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Date +7482 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">There is a planet we have been studying and it is starting to look like it could support life.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Date +7847 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">One minor detail has been brought to my attention that must be dealt with. This flying piece of scrap metal we are all suffering in wasn't desighed to land. We going to crash.

Epologue <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Date -65,000,000 years <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">It is a warm summer afternoon on the planet Earth. Dinosars rome in peace. At the edge of one continent stands a lone trisarutops who looks out at the ocean. He wanders aimlessly night and day eating whatever food he can find. But on this one afternoon he looks up, straining his eyes against the bright light, and finds a ball of fire falling from the sky. Only a few seconds pass before it vanishes beond the horizon. The trisarutops looks down again to chew on a the leaves of a fallen tree branch. The wind starts to blow harder, the clouds move faster, the sound of a hurricane fills his ears. Then, as if the Sun it self had fallen, a bright light appears from the direction where the ball of fire fell. For a split second after that nothing happens, then the events that follow came so fast the dinosar couldn't tild his head to look. Everything was gone, the tree, the dinosar, the clouds, and even the ocean. Earth had been killed, only to be born again with new life. Nothing can tell how or why, but new life did come.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">DEAN GROOM ACTIVITY #2

The two cats had just lain down when a bundle of cat toys, which had lost their expensive retail packeging, filed into the barn, silently wandering in aimless circles to find some place that could never be found. Cat #1 made a sort of wall round them with her forelegs, and the toys nestled down inside and promptly fell over out of consciousness. At the last moment Cat #2, the smart one, came walking in, chewing on an all natural artificial fish product extract for concentrate.
