Chapter 2 The Mistake

         100 years ago the Things attacked our first ring of defense. The Rings are circles around Earth. Our first ring has 50 nukes on each planet that makes up the first ring. When the Things attacked we were not prepared. They attacked in huge numbers and our soldiers panicked. Those soldiers decided to lunch every nuke we had in the first ring. The soldiers then controlled the nukes to fly into the biggest ships they could see. The Things had brought 100 huge ships but 3 of them were 5 times bigger than the others.  In the middle ship, the King of the Things commanded all of the other ships. His ships had more lasers, more tanks, and other explosive weapons. The soldiers decided to attack the three big ships. The smaller ships suddenly shot down every single nuke in a second. All the nukes set of a humongous explosion that destroyed the entire first ring. The nukes did nothing to the Thing’s ships. If those nukes hadn’t been set off our first line of defense would have been able to kill some of the Things and we would have been ready for their future attacks. We now know that the Things can’t survive in cold weather. Our plan is to send 10 of our best Soldiers back and time 105 years ago. They will persuade the men there to make ice bombs instead of having nukes. That way they when the lunch the bombs the first ring will not be destroyed and most of the things will be. This plan is our last chance to save mankind.
