“It’s time, Mr. President , send it.” 

George Watkins, current President of the United States, head of state for 4 star systems and 2 interstellar colonies, had to make the biggest decision of his tenure. It could solve all of humanities problems or could literally cause its doom.

“End transmission and prepare for relay.”

“Transmission ended. Ready to relay.”

Last chance. Last chance to think about it. No, I’m ready. Yes, I can do it.

"This is George Watkins, authorization code 9-alpha-zulu-#-2-8-9-!-! Initiate Tachyon ping.”

“Target acquired, Ready to transmit”

“Initiate…”

On a private R-COM to Michael, his most trusted adviser-slash-security-head, “Michael, at the end of transmission, I want you to purge all systems, and erase all records, backup systems and even the ghost backups. I want no links between me and this.”

“Ok boss" came back his voice. A pause…….”Are you sure boss, this was your idea?" said Michael.

“I know, I know, just that I don’t have a good feeling about this. Arrange me a transport to New Washington tomorrow morning. I’ll be spending my night here on Terra. “

“Really boss? As your security head I am bound to tell you that Terra is the least secure place for you to be.”

“I know but all the other heads of states are here and it would not proper for me to leave like this…..”

“Transmission Ended, All Systems lock down. Systems Shutting Down”

“Michael, What was that?”

“Oh, I think it’s nothing. Just me purging everything.”

“You think?”

“No, That was surely me. Come on out. The door is manual and there is no body on your side to open it.”

Manual doors. What the hell? What time period is this?
