Across Europe, the day would begin like it had every day before it. While some people began their morning rituals, others had been awake for hours. The engines of industry, commerce and agriculture enduring.

A divergent group of people were oblivious to what was about to transpire. John Ramsay had successfully isolated himself from his friends and family. Don Clement had woken up early, and had started his regular bus route at six a.m. Glenn Meakins would prepare to visit his elderly mother in her nursing-home, before going to work on a construction site. Clive Meadway would take his friends and family on his treasured sailboat. Karyn Faulk would take registration, then teach her class of year 4 pupils...

Then the event happened...

And everything changed.
