[2206 | Indestructible]
After more than a month of working out how they can destroy the “indestructible tower,” YutopiCorp scientists think they have finally found the answer. The area surrounding YutopiCorp Tower has been cleared, and a large airship flies in, obscured by the night sky. The feed now displays the date “April, 2206.”
Hovering above the tower, a red glow appears at the ship’s base. It glows brighter and brighter, until a beam shoots from the ship. The beam, consisting of pure, concentrated plasma, pours down from above, incinerating the desert surrounding the tower. After a number of minutes, the tower’s façade begins to crack.
Eventually, the tower collapses; each individual piece of the former monument to YutopiCorpis covered in molten plasma. The ship continues to unleash its weapon, making absolutely certain it destroys the chamber containing the nano-EMPs. Finally, the chamber explodes. Nanoparticles fly out, free of their electromagnetic prison, and spread throughout the Farm.
With the force of 25 kilotons each, every single nanoparticle explodes with the force of a nuclear bomb, obliterating the Farm, and turning all those on it, to ash instantly. Everyone aside from those lucky enough to be off the mainland, that is.
“25 April, 2206 is the day that the Farm formally became the Wasteland. Thanks to Tasmania’s survival, it is now known as the Wasteland’s head office,” Nanny explains. “On 25 April each year, we celebrate this day: NZAC Day.”
