“My fellow Americans,” the voice began. “This is Vice-President Paul Babson. This morning, at approximately 11:30, the North American continent was attacked with two nuclear missiles that were detonated high in the atmosphere over Chicago and Los Angeles. Let me start by reassuring you that there is no danger of radioactive fallout. Our population is not in danger of radioactive poisoning.

I am saddened to report that President Harris has died as a result of the blast. At 12:31 PM, he was pronounced dead due to a pacemaker failure associated with the explosion. I join you all in mourning the passing of a great statesman and dedicated American.”

A short pause followed, and he then again spoke.

“The blasts created an electrical surge which has effectively disabled much of our infrastructure. Much of our transportation system has been badly damaged due to the destruction of electronic components in motors. The damage includes most vehicles, railroads, and airplanes. There are, at last report, many thousands dead from motor vehicle accidents, plane crashes, and hospital fatalities due to the failure of life support systems. All public transportation has ceased to function and many people are stranded, in some cases far from home.

The attack is known as an electromagnetic pulse. It has also taken down most of our power generation and transmission systems. The same is true of our telecommunications infrastructure. With the exception of some military networks, all communications systems in the country have effectively ceased to function.

I have ordered the immediate recall of all military personnel from overseas locations. Our armed forces stand ready to defend the country and are in the process of testing all equipment and systems. They will have a plan on my desk, in the next two weeks, to begin efforts to restore power and other infrastructure as quickly as possible. I ask that all National Guard personnel report immediately to their duty stations. The same is true of all first responders; including fire, police, and hospital staff. As many of you know, we are facing difficulty responding to emergencies. Many first responders are unable to respond to calls for help. Fires burn in many cities that cannot be extinguished. Police, for the time being, have little mobility due to inoperable vehicles.

However, our recovery depends on you: The American people. For now, I ask that you remain calm and assist your friends and neighbors in need. Share what you have in terms of food and water. Most of all continue to respect the rule of law and obey local law enforcement. We need the best effort of every American to recover from this crisis, and we will. We will recover from this devastating blow. We are a resilient people who have overcome many obstacles. We will return to greatness again, and we will find out who did this to us, and they will be punished.

I ask each of you to pray for our great nation.

We will report to you further as we progress with our efforts to stabilize the situation. Please listen to your radios for further information and updates.
