A World Without End

4/20/1142:

The Great Peacemaker unites the five nations of Turtle Island under the People of the Longhouse. This abruptly puts an end to the warring of these five nations and becomes the oldest participatory democracy ever created as well as the foundation for the most powerful government in the world.

Christopher Columbus makes Landfall in Guanahani, also known as the Bahamas. Believing he has reached the shores of south Asia he immediately dubs the natives Indios which later evolves into Indians. Along with his men and their smallpox, the explorer makes himself acquainted with the new world that he claimed to discover.

11/30/1722:

The Tuscarora nation joins the People of the Longhouse also known as the Iroquois Federation of Northeast America. Elsewhere the smallpox epidemic of 1721 was ending the lives of hundreds at a time. As the virus made its way to Boston the populace erupted in a panic and some of the first victims where locked in a house identified only by a red flag that red “God have mercy on this house.” The door handle of the home held a hastily written note that warned, “Do not feed.” Many citizens fled the city for their lives. As much as the colonist suffered from the virus their pain was little compared to the Native Americans who had no immunity to the foreigner’s disease whatsoever. This lack of immunity led to the obliteration of their people and the complete loss of their land as the virus spread exponentially. Fortunately, an African man by the name of Onesimus who had been sold into slavery introduced the first methods of vaccination to his master, Mather, who had been an active member of the Salem Witch trials. Mather learned through Onesimus that this groundbreaking advancement in prevention of the virus had been common knowledge in Africa for hundreds of years and would have been discovered by the settlers much sooner if they hadn’t underestimated the knowledge of the slaves.

9/17/1787:

The Constitution is signed by the 38 delegates of the original states of America after their victory against the British. Every so often one of the delegates ran upstairs and asked a hidden elder from the original Iroquois Federation for advice on how to structure their government. Before this meeting, a vagabond of the Iroquois Federation warns the elder, “The white, snakes come to our land and bring poison, they steal our territory with their slit tongues and credit systems, they’ve used their fangs to slaughter our people and you aim to give them our shell? If you do this it will not just be the end for us, but the death of all turtles.”

2/15/2026:

After the irreparable damage that was done to the American economy after the Covid 19 and Covid 20 Pandemics the country would elect it’s first female as well as first Native American president. Halona Agnew from Cleveland, Ohio would embark on massive reforms to the U.S. government as well as find actual solutions many democratic parties failed to implement. During her first term America was deemed New Rome as it’s eventual fall was all too obvious to every other country in the world. Agnew would immediately erase this nickname from history as her party managed to fix the infrastructure problem of the country which snowballed into a solution for free education and affordable healthcare that rivalled others. This led to an enormous drop in issues concerning mental illness which solved the gun problem altogether. Due to not being apart of either the republican or democratic party Agnew’s term saw a long period of peace and community amongst the American people. During her second term she would bring American debt from the trillions down to the millions, a feat that would grant her the nickname “Misses Musa” as well as start a movement for her to serve a third term.

7/24/2028:

Knowledge of alien life had been well known through the world however on this day around 9:08pm an enormous asteroid that had been on trajectory towards earth for decades had been obliterated by the Space Force developed in 2021. As the object shattered into multiple pieces what was revealed at the center was a cylindrical vessel roughly the size of the moon. The object was Vantablack and had only been noticed by an inexplicable absence of stars when the night sky was observed. The vessel was roughly half the size of the moon.

12/25/2028:

Sometime around Christmas was the event that would later be known as The Great Bird Storm. During this event every avian creature on planet earth all began flying upward towards the vessel at the exact same time. Many birds would get as high as they physically could then collapse and began falling just to make another attempt mid fall which would lead to unconsciousness. On this day every bird on the planet fell from the sky to its death along the same line for months. People would call this line the black equator and would be the worlds last memory of flying animals.

1/7/2029:

The U.N. understanding the severity of the situation and the correlation between the vessel and the G.B.S. (Great Bird Storm) would gather the planets strongest minds including Doctor Strauss a revolutionary leader in language studies who cracked the various mysteries of Incan Quipa, a method of record keeping using strings, and the Voynich Manuscript. Strauss a notably charismatic and industrious man would use his school, The Voynich College of Language in the United Kingdoms, to weaken the communication barrier between Earth and the Vessel. He and his team would be the first to find that the vessel housed alien life that communicated telepathically. It would be later deduced that the visitors were attempting to welcome the inhabitants of earth to their planet through a medium that could only be understood through a person’s soul. It seemed that their message had only reached avian life and it was possible that they still weren’t aware of humanity. After this breakthrough Agnew would be the first to propose the total annihilation of the structure before they contacted Earth.

9/10/2029:

Towards the end of the year Agnew launched a secret campaign to destroy the visitors before they contacted humanity. Being one of the last surviving descendants of the Iroquois Federation as well as having travelled the world in her early 20’s, Agnew knew all to well the dangers of a new species and disease. She named the group The Ohio Fighting Force or O.F.F. and hired a renowned mathematician from Russia who went by the name of Fox to help plan an offensive against the threat. After she finalized her plan, they presented their findings to the U.N. who had surprisingly all been in favor of the plan after they realized all flying insects had also gone extinct which cause massive damage to the world’s ecosystems.

10/18/2029:

Infuriated by his sudden exclusion due to their being a lack of need for communication now that the world agreed to take the offensive, Strauss enacted a slander campaign against Agnew who he had labelled the cause of his grief. This campaign painted her as a narcissistic misandrist obsessed with living out a warrior queen power fantasy. This led to the U.N. doing a thorough investigation of Agnew’s mental health in fear of their sensitive plan having any inconveniences. After finding that she had suffered from bipolar personality disorder and was a well-known wiccan practitioner the U.N. deemed her mentally unfit to lead the operation which outraged the American populace as well as some in other countries.

3/20/2030:

The newly created Earth Defense Agency implemented Operation Conquistador after the vessel launched a lone ship to Cleveland, Ohio in the United States of America. The operation sent a severely sick man who had been subjected to multiple diseases from the now melted polar ice caps as well as a few animals that had been horribly neglected and diseased. The visitor’s communication attempts had led to multiple G.B.S. events and this was the world’s only solution to defeat what was possibly a vastly superior enemy. The operation took months, but it was later observed that the craft sent by Earth had seemingly entered the vessel in the same way a stone would enter a body of water.

11/21/2030:

G.B.S. events around the earth had come to a stop after Operation Conquistador, and the entire state of Ohio was shaking to its core as it experienced complete quarantine. The entire city of Cleveland was rendered a military compound all dedicated to housing the craft that was sent from the visitors. The craft was completely empty and was made of a substance that randomly shifted viscosity at the presence of heat. In the center of the craft on a luminescent pedestal sat a suspicious package wrapped in brown paper. The brown paper box was accompanied by nothing else except a note that read, “Do not feed.”

12/13/2030:

Strauss being obsessed with finding the answers to the visitor’s presence put in an incredible effort to enter Cleveland, Ohio. With the matter being a global concern, all entry had to be approved by the U.N. which agreed to allow him entry only if he assembled a team to solve the mystery of the box in the same way that he solved the mystery of the Voynich Manuscript. Strauss immediately absorbed Agnew’s team which was only possible due to the residing commander and chief’s fear of what the box might unleash. The team had done various test to see if there had been some strange weapon incapsulated in the box or any biological matter but under all means of examination the box seemed to be completely empty. One of the top students at the college that Strauss developed who had also seemed to be infatuated with Strauss put in considerable effort to solve the mystery to impress him. This student traced the handwriting of the note written near the box back to a man who had been reported managed to travel from one side of the world to the other decades ago. The event had never been disproven but was always viewed as a conspiracy theory due to the man leading an average uneventful life after the event.

12/25/2030:

The student who discovered the origins of the note went by the name of Anna and was known to be heavily religious as well as genuinely selfless in a purely authentic way. She decided that she’d get Strauss a Christmas present and then decided the best present would be the answer of what’s in the box. Anna and her group of students concluded that the box was most likely a random box that the aliens had sent to earth as a hello as they could not communicate. Because of this she saw no harm in opening the box herself which is exactly what she did on Christmas day. A lone security guard was reportedly the only one to have seen Anna open the box and at the reported time of 7:34am as he was the one who let her in. After looking into the box for a short time Anna was reported to haven given an out of characteristically morbid forced smile as she approached the guard and stole his gun. Her last words were, “They knew.” As she shot the guard and immediately ended her own life. At that very moment two major events took place that would forever change the course of humanity. Those events in Ascending order were, the Vantablack vessel immediately flying towards the sun the moment the box was opened and the renowned mathematician, Fox writing her first words in a crisp new journal that Agnew gave her to remember her time in Cleveland. This journal would later sell more copies than the Holy Bible and would be later titled, Certainty.
