Is the Richard Gere gerbil story true?
Who came third in World War II?
Did Sooty sleep with Sue
These things I think about
When I'm out with you

What are the holes in biros for?
Which one's which in The Corrs?
Did Geoff Hurst really score?
Cause frankly you're a bore
And I'm not

And if it's leaving season
You're second on the bill
If you won’t leave me baby
I'll find someone who will
I tried love
I'm sorry
I tried love

Does God ever get it wrong?
Where has Gary Barlow gone?
Why is Christmas day so long?
It just goes on and on and on
Like you

And if it's leaving season
You're the second on the bill
If you won't leave me baby
I'll find someone who will
I tried love
I'm sorry
I tried love

Duu du du duu duu...

I tried love
And I'm sorry
I tried love

Why is there ketchup on my sleeve?
D'you think that Adam fancied Eve?
What if Eve could not concieve?
And he had to breed with Steve
We'd all be gay

Chapter one, Ba’al

In the 23^rd century their were really no more limits for mankind. On a technological point of view. Artificial gravity which was induced by ultra high speed electromagnetic induction. Gave a new perspective on light speed travel. Especially the control of anti-gravity became a key element in the wave motions of spacecraft. Though direct travel was still very time consuming, special boy systems enabled direct travel between previously explored places in space. Though even at light speed the time from one boy-point to a planet took about a day. This is all not really worth mentioning, if it wasn’t for direct travel. This gave some ‘mad’ scientists the idea of actual time travel. Most people thought this was an insane idea, for objects with mass could not travel at relative light speed, in the same space-time continuum. But direct travel had already over come this problem. But still it was postulated as impossible. That was until Dr. Ba’al started working on the concept. Dr. Ba’al was really psychologically deranged for his IQ was freak high on some points and normal at other points. This gave him a lot of subsidy. And at the time he was a well respected scientist, even for the critics. But it changed the 9^th of June 2245. As most sources conclude it was not a atom bomb, even though this was stated by the government. The explosion or whatever it was, was at least quiet devastating. Dr. Ba’al lab, and everything in a 20 meter radius, even the ground, was obliterated. The blast would later seem to have been 1,2 megatons which is big if it wasn’t a atom bomb. A more logical explanation was given by the independent news agencies, who concluded that a large stack of antimatter had been spread in a short period of time. The energies released in this blast spontaneously generated particles of course some of which were Uranium 235. The New European Union on the other hand thought it was more than enough reasons to find out where all the uranium of the 20^th century went off to. With a 70 percent  majority the proposition was adopted, and a large scale investigation began. This all wasn’t so bad, if it wasn’t for the fact that of all the Uranium from the 20^th century was only 20 percent accounted for. The other 80 percent was presumed to be somewhere in the third world. This fague definition gave the Union goose bumps. It is to be remembered that at the time, the explosion in Ba’al ‘s lab was besides hydrogen bombs the most powerful explosions known to be made by man. As bad luck would have it, intelligence stated that the third world nations were gaining ground in the old nations. As they were trying to gain terrain. The use of nuclear weapons were though few, not an unnoticeable factor in the victories of the old nations. Though only two were used in the last 50 years, The union saw it as enough reason to demand a reason from the third world, and delegacies were sent to both empires of America and China. Both were slightly amazed hearing from their old allies after 200 years. And were off course not very friendly. In the political debate that followed, both empires refused to give any information about their nuclear arsenal. And eventually the discussions lead into the leaving of the delegacies, on a prison boat. Nova Europa was surprised though agitated. As the delegacy was given the message that they were not the police of the world, and that if they wanted information, they had to get or trade it. As Trading compromise the empires were asking such delicate pieces of technology and information, that Nova Europa could not comply. After a threat of war, the Empires joined forces, and took the offer of war. Thus The Third World War had begun.
