Category:Atom Age Awakening

The year is 1948 C.E. 3 years since the end of the World War that consumed the globe, shattered the imperial powers that dominated the last two centuries of history and saw the formation of a new rules-based international order in the shape of a new United Nations. 3 years since the deployment of the atomic bomb in the closing years of that war. The unleashing of atomic energy heralded new horizons of scientific exploration, civilian and military enterprise, and the atrocious power to end life as we know it.

Not is all as it seems however. Drawn by our first atomic detonation, the skies now glitter with the passing lights of foo fighters and St Elmo's fire, discoid UFOs and black triangles. Strange energies caused by human and alien artifice, and the realignment of the stars in the coming Age of Aquarius seems to have awakened mental abilities in some select humans.

The World Wars have come and gone, now is the time of the Atom Age Awakening.
