HISTORY of the End of the World – 8

This cards were once part of a giant computersystem. Scientist and technicians used the cards for fault-detection, programming, data-collection, analysis and so on. Some of the cards could be used to communicate face-to-face, some could be used as tools, storage and transport.

When the computersystem crashed and civilization crumbled, some organizations got hold of some of the cards. In millenia of decline the cards were used as weapon and to control. Enormous richess accumulated in a few “houses”.

The world was a disaster-area. Warfare, climate-change, earth-quakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis culminated in a giant flood. Again some people survived, so did some cards, because they are indistructable. Civilization as we know it started among the ruins and devestation in the solar system.

The Master picked up a card and crumbled it like a piece of paper. When he put it on the table again, it immediately retook its original shape.
