Under Control

Under control is such an interesting concept; it is an illusion, a pretty lie that we tell ourselves to ease our fear. But the question is....How do you control what is beyond your control? You don't.

Update

The Meteor, designated 2X5-L1, sighted ten days ago, has defied odds, passed all gravitational giants in our solar system, and is on a direct collision course with Earth.

Impact estimated in two days, three hours, and thirty-nine minutes from now

This is a confirmed planet-wide disaster event.

The governments of all nations have stated, effective immediately

Global state of emergency with martial law is in effect.

All citizens must follow the instructions of local authorities, keep roads clear for emergency vehicles. If you are in an impact zone, you will need to seek subterranean shelter. If you are not within a designated impact zone, stay in place.

Originally, it was unclear whether 2X5-L1, which scientists have determined to be a portion of Planet ZX3, would impact Earth or miss us just slightly.

It is currently unclear if this will be a disaster on a massive scale or a full extinction-level event.

The president's secretary has stated that all available resources are being used in an attempt to divert the meteor for the smallest impact on our planet

Just in, I am being told that 2X5-L1 has picked up speed and will outpace all attempts to relocate it

The military has mobilized and is en route to handle 2X5-L1.

We will keep you posted

Remain calm, seek shelter

The situation is Under Control

Update

New information has come to light: 2X5-L1, which was originally thought to be a meteor, is in fact a spaceship.....our first contact with extraterrestrial life.

The military group sent to relocate the meteor has opened a discussion after investigating signals coming from within the object.

Citizens, this could be humanity's first step into a greater interstellar community

We will keep you posted

Remain calm, seek shelter

The situation is Under Control

Update

I have just received a report,

The military forces have been fired upon...no, wait, our military forces have been destroyed

We have no explanation from 2X5-L1, which has slowed significantly

2X5-L1 has now come to a full stop

and is now orbiting Earth just past the International Space Station

All nations' governments, after unanimously voting 45 minutes ago to create a temporary one-world government led by Britain's Prime Minister, and all nations' militaries have pooled their militaries against this potential threat.

All nations are working together, but we must prepare for the worst. God bless, and stay safe.

We will keep you posted

Stay calm, seek shelter

As we try to get the situation Under Control

Live from ground zero
