[ WP ] On September The 23rd , a meteor hits the earth , reduces buildings to dust , but does not kill everyone . Speak from the perspective of a survivor recounting the day it happened .

Greetings sixers. Get ready for the ride of your life. 
 
 The Big Event really started on the 19th. Kim Jong Un, finally tired of leading the most hated country in the world, turned North Korea over to the UN, prompting the largest worldwide celebrations since the end of WWII. This caused economic boosts throughout the world trading markets, which only spurred the celebrations even more. NASDAQ jumped to almost twice as high as it had ever been before, and people around the world were hopeful for a better tomorrow. 
 
 Everyone was too busy celebrating to do their jobs. The astronomers were too drunk to see The Black Speed coming, and it was n't until it was visible to the naked eye that people noticed its approach. A huge ball of obsidian and cobalt, The Black Speed earned its name by being the fastest meteor that humans had ever observed. It hit Central Africa, and almost everyone in the world perished. 
 
 Only the people farthest from the impact, in northern Russia and Alaska, survived, as far as I know. Possibly some people in Eastern Australia and Northern Canada also survived, but we've never gotten any radio transmissions from anywhere else, so we're probably the only people left. I personally am a New Englander who happened to be on vacation in Yakutsk at the time, which makes me one of the luckiest New Englanders in human history, as far as I can tell. 
 
 The scientists survived only long enough to figure out how to send a brief message back in time, this message, so it's up to you guys, the people from six days before The Black Speed, the sixers, to stop this. We're all dead or dying, because as it turns out it's hard to survive when clouds of Ash block out the sun.
