The History of the Morrow
Project
"In 1962, a man by the name of Bruce
Edward Morrow, origin unknown, gathered nine of the country's leading industrialists
into an organization known as The Council of Tomorrow. What method of coercion
he may have used to achieve this feat remains a matter mostly for conjecture.
The consensus of noted historians indicates that Morrow was a rare form
of esper. He seemed to have possessed the ability to transport himself
and some small amount of nearby matter into or out of the future. Building
a convincing argument from the future, he and the council structured an
organization dedicated to the continued survival of the human race beyond
the point of destruction.
"This organization brought forth
the concept of the Morrow Project; an ambitious plan to cryogenically freeze
special teams and equipment to aid in the reconstruction of the U.S. after
nuclear war. For many years the Project secretly stored their teams to
await the proper time for reawakening. Gradually their processes improved
and their equipment became more advanced. In 1979, Morrow returned from
a long absence bearing a small device which proved to be a functioning
fusion power plant and advanced laser technology. In 1987, the Project
carried out a complete updating of all the previously "stored" equipment,
opening the buried and sealed chambers of the sleepers without waking them
and leaving behind new equipment, vehicles, and the instruction manuals
on how to operate them.
"The prime central base of the
Morrow Project is a vast underground complex designed to sustain the lives
of some one hundred and fifty people through the holocaust as they recorded
the data linked with the war. Also to act as a central communications point
for the rest of the Project when they should wake. So thorough was their
recording that this base remains as the only comprehensive source of information
on pre-war times.
"Members of the project wake up
to a world gone mad. Instead of sleeping for 5 or 20 years, they
have slept for over a hundred, the world they knew has not only disappeared
in a flash of atomic fire but it is now only a legend, a memory passed
down in stories and songs as the surviving members of humanity fight to
survive, often against man's worst enemy....Himself."
"The Project members have no idea
what happened to the Project, Prime Base does not answer, other teams do
not answer...are they the only team left alive? Can their dreams
and hopes have been crushed so easily? But they have already been
through so much for their ideals, they hitch up their web-belts, sling
a sack of hi-yield seeds over their shoulders and walk out of their hole
in the ground...to a world as alien to them as any in the solar system."
