just a project of mine i've been working away at for a while now...
i just love this ridiculous, thoughtful, punny universe a lot ok

- *here are the basics: some Time In The Future the earth is sent to hell and back* in an apocalyptic conflict called the 60 minute war. orbit-to-earth kinetics and atomics, ultra-effective bioweapons, asteroid-based revenge weapons & various technologies humanity would have best left untampered are all used in some kind of final conflagration between the ancients. humanity struggles on through the darkness and bleak prospects of their new world

- *they're really good!!
