17 February 2074 – Geneva, Switzerland – During its monthly meeting, the UN Food Bank estimates that over 800 million have starved or died from a lack of medical attention in the wake of the Armistice Day Nukes, raising the death toll from the disaster to 1.9 billion. “At this point, we need to consider a radical re-alignment of world politics and economics,” said Shannon O’Connell, “or else we can expect the dead to rise by another billion by spring.” The Corporate Court and World Governments – still reeling themselves from the disaster, made no response.
