Earth has been a wasteland for eighty-nine years. Since the science got so out of hand with ethics, there were no morals anymore. Then came the mutations. The scientists said they didn't make the abominations, but no one really believes them. The abominations are horrible creatures who can take any organic matter and add to themselves, make it part of them. Hope you never see one do it. I have. They roam all over the place now, but the government's outlawed killing them, cause they probably started out as humans. That doesn't stop them from killing anything in sight and adding it on, though. Then the meteor came. Everyone was so worked up by then that most were ready to abandon earth as soon as something like this happened. Well, the meteor came, and everyone who didn't get off-world died. The parts of meteor that came off in the atmosphere made huge holes all around, and now earth is just a wasteland. But I've heard legends that the abominations survived and took over the earth.
