to figure out where those lines went. What they powered. He became so obsessed he was almost removed from duty.
They thought he was nuts. He was warned to drop it.
But he wouldn’t give it up.
Not long after, on a winter night, Dean Hayes cured the plague.
Ironically, the same night Dean made the announcement to the community, Henry broke into that wall.
It opened.
The long gray wall that was always thought to be part of the tunnel system slid open, exposing a huge lab that was deep and wide.
In the lab was a long glass wall that divided the main lab from another room. In that smaller room, fifty-three individuals were cryogenically frozen.
The process for removing them from the cryogenic deep freeze was possible by using the equipment in the lab.
Dean Hayes figured it out. Why wouldn’t he? He had a brilliant mind.
But one problem remained. These fifty-three individuals were secured behind an airtight room. Data showed they were frozen before the plague.
So they hadn’t been exposed to the plague virus.
Knowing the air still contained the virus, Dean was certain that it would hit the fifty-three people like a bomb if they weren’t immune.
And it did.
Luckily, Dean had the cure. They didn’t die.
No one thought about what a strange coincidence it was that not long after Dean announced his breakthrough, the fifty-three were found.
These fifty-three were scientists, placed there to be defrosted after the world was over. The timing device had just failed to work.
They tried to take over Beginnings, but they failed. They moved on to their second location with Beginnings’ blessing.
What Beginnings didn’t know of was that George Hadly was aware of the frozen scientists all along and he was aware of the whole plan.
It had a domino effect.
The fifty-three left for other locations to release more, spreading out and releasing even more from multiple locations.
George eventually left Beginnings, gathered his forces, and started to rebuild by using the soldiers to gather survivors freely or against their will.
He did have his own reasons for wanting to build the country again, to get it back on its feet and to have a strong military presence. George Hadly firmly believed and stood by the fact that one day, when we least expected it, we were going to be invaded. The United States provided seventy percent of the food for the rest of the world.
Eventually, the rest of the world would come for that.
That was the reason behind his rebuilding.
One everybody dismissed.
Day-to-Day...
Despite the conflicts and the microchip soldiers outside of Beginnings, life was Utopia within the secure walls.
When I first arrived, I was taken to a place called Containment. It was there that they processed ‘survivors’. They tested them to see if they were civilized and if they could be retrained to live in society.
Bentley and I were there one day.
I firmly believed they wanted Bentley out of there more than me. He had hair appointments lined up before his release.
My ability and talents were able to provide Beginnings with answers and technology they wanted.
Often times I’d chuckle because Joe would complain to me that, “It’s the Apocalypse, Danny. We’re supposed to struggle.”
But that wasn’t the case.
Beginnings was far more than a home. It was a way of life. Behind the secured walls, there was always plenty of food, the best medical attention, and freedom.
People lived as they wanted to.
They had moved on from the tragedies of the plague and though they’d never forget the loved ones lost, they were able to smile again.
Beginnings lived up to the urban legend it was. It was no less than a Utopia to everyone who lived there.
I was where I wanted to be.
There was no place else I wanted to go.
I was home for the rest of my days.
Life didn’t get any better, couldn’t get any better, than in Beginnings, Montana.
