Deep within the recesses of the earth, in an underground facility, hundreds of thousands of people; men, women, and children were getting into spherical pods. There were crews of technicians helping families find pods together.
"Daddy, will we be okay?" A young child asked his father.
"Yes, Micheal we'll be fine." His father replied.

Five minutes Ago:

" Hurry up, according to these readings, the flare will be here soon. If it gets here before we're ready, we'll be screwed" hurried an extremely pale man in golden robes, atop his head was a mop of black hair. In his right hand, he held a white cane topped by a luminescent cyan crystal.
"This is a delicate process, if something goes wrong, we'll be digging not just our own graves but also the graves of all those pioneers you brought with you" replied a man in a red robe, he had glasses and was pale and lanky, to say the least. He appeared to be of German descent.

"I'm almost done though" replied the man in red
Suddenly a woman in a black rushed in, she made to courtesy, however, the man in gold waved his hand. "What is it?" he asked. She gathered herself and said "Milord, the flare..." the man red perked up "... has unexpectedly sped up and according to the calculations given to me by his lordship Taithus, it should arrive in 23 hours he requests information on..." She trailed off realizing that they weren't paying attention anymore. "Milords?" she ventured.
"What!" Amadeus started, his piercingly silver eyes seeming to stare at her soul.
"...i-it wi-will arrive in f-f-five minutes Milord" she stuttered. Amadeus turned made eye contact with his close friend Madicus. "Hurry up, old friend," he said.
He walked towards a console on an elevated platform. He placed his right hand on a screen.
[Initialising Protocol Morpheus] A feminine voice rang throughout the facility.
An alarm began to sound, all over the facility people began to quicken their pace.

A man dressed in dark blue formal attire with a long coat walked in accompanied by a woman in purple and soon after another larger dark-skinned man in a black jumpsuit walked in.
Amadeus turned and looked at each person in the room, "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the moment we've been preparing for, four years of hard work, the project we've invested all of our assets into. The next Global Extinction Level Catastrophe!"
