In 2213, Jesus came to Earth. 
 
 Though Pluto was discovered in 1930, it was n't until the early 2000s that other dwarf planets were discovered in the outer solar system. Still, it seems strange that one of the largest, Jesus, was n't discovered until 2095, over 1.5 centuries after Pluto. The story, widely believed apocryphal, is that it was named for what an astronomer yelled just after calculating the object's orbit. It stuck because it was apparently the only name deemed fitting for an object who's arrival would bring the apocalypse. 
 
 The years between 2108 ( after most of the world's politicians were finally convinced that the threat was n't merely part of some Sino-American plot to conquer African nations for their Uranium ) and 2212 were an unprecedented period of preparation. Super-bunkers were dug under most of the world's mountain ranges. Wars were fought, killing billions, to determine who would control and populate the bunkers. And finally, the bunkers were stocked with everything they were expected to need. In 2210, after its closest pass with Jupiter, it was determined that Jesus would impact the southern hemisphere at a shallow angle, turning most of Africa and South America into atmospheric dust ( and possibly a second moon ). I would have loved to have seem the faces of the dictators and generals who sent countless human soldiers to die for the African and South American bunkers, only to earn a front row seat to the largest explosion Earth had seen in billions of years. 
 
 In 2213, 10000 people, including my ancestors, sealed themselves in the South Montana bunker. There are no records on how those specific people were chosen, so I'd guess they walked over the still-warm corpses of their neighbors. It was considered one of the most promising locations: the Rockies were overhead and it linked to a uranium mine that could power the reactors for longer than humans had existed. The bunker was stocked with computers and robots that would control and maintain everything required to provide electricity, food, water, air, and medical supplies, as well as work the mines, repair aging structures and apply medical care. The 10000 were set for eternity. 
 
 Now, in 2431, here's how it is: people wake when they're too hungry or bored to keep sleeping, eat a breakfast of genetically engineered algae and mushroom ( my parents apparently got canned vegetables on special occasions and my grandparents even remember having canned meat or fruit once or twice. They were apparently wealthy and powerful back when that still mattered. ), watch some 20th and 21st century television on the archive computer, eat more algae, watch more TV, possibly call for a sex robot, and eventually go back to sleep. 
 
 The other day, I walked East through the tunnel system. I saw no one, of course; I have n't seen anyone walking in the tunnels in the past year or two. But for the first time in many years, I found something new: robots digging a tunnel up from the bunker. It appeared straight, but I could n't see the end of it. After returning to my quarters, I read everything I could find about it. Apparently, they've been digging for the past 200 years, but it's been slow because they do n't know what to expect and therefore have to dig carefully and install a high-pressure airlock every so often. 
 
 Scientists before the impact left lots of opinions on what could happen. The old mountains could have been buried by even larger ones, or they could have been destroyed, leaving a lake or ocean at any depth, ready to drown us all. Jesus' impact was expected to transfer enough angular momentum to slow or even stop the Earth's rotation, but there is no information on how long a day currently is or whether the sun is overhead or not. There is no information on the state of the atmosphere. It's unlikely any plant life would survive the nuclear winter, so there may be no more oxygen. There may be toxic chemicals or newly-evolved deadly bacteria. It's possible that all of the water vapor has frozen on the dark side, if the Earth is rotating slowly enough and has lost enough atmosphere. There may be a mountain of ice over us right now. There may not even be an atmosphere at all given the combination of the impact and the failing of Earth's magnetic field due to the loss of rotation. 
 
 I ca n't seriously believe that anyone expected humans to move back to the surface. That's the kind of hope used to fool children. There's no way any of the saved plant or animal genomes will ever be used to recreate those organisms and release them into the wild. We'll never leave this bunker and the remnants of humanity will never become more than a mockery of what they once were. That's why I'm done. I refuse to go on. 
 
 I've removed the control rods from the reactors and I know the robots ca n't manufacture and install new ones quickly enough to save even one of them from a meltdown. I've left you all this note so you'll know what's happening when alarms activate and then the lights go out. This nightmare is finally going to end. You're welcome.
