at 13.12 British summer time the world changed beyond all recognition  Two miles form the Centre of Felpersham a rather grim de-industrialized city in the English Midlands occurs the largest explosion since the Tunguska event  of 1908 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event it does so without warning from any of the myriad of satellites which watch the skies. from it a wave of heat hot enough to spontaneously combust living organic matter radiated out to a distance of 130km before fading slowly sending a tidal wave of heat over all of the united Kingdom & much of western Europe. The event left a crater nearly five Kilometres across and almost one deep in the centre. In which burned the exposed coal seams form the remains of the coal deposits around Flepersham & the small market town of Borchester near by. Inside what became known as the Primary Zone only the ancient city of Leicester remained undamaged, well that part of it which lay within the line of the historic walls of the Roman city, for as the heat wave hit undiminished & most of Leicester suffered the same fate as the rest of the Midlands a dome of shimmering force protected the centre of the city and remained active for the next several days whilst the rest of the city burned and the survivors trapped inside this protective prison became more desperate.  

That would have been bad enough if it had been the only thing to happen that day, unfortunately it was not because at 13.13 British simmer time from an epicentre three miles south of the Forbidden city in Peking something else happened, which drooped the temperature of every where within 130 km of it to somewhere below the freezing point of Nitrogen and sent a wave of cold out beyond that which covered the same sort of area of China as the heat blast in Europe. Seconds latter an other event occurred fortunately in the relatively unpopulated centre of Australia which sent a Tausumi of salt water hundreds of meters high undiminished by the underlying terrain to a similar radius form the epicentre and for several tens of kilometres further as it was reduced by passage over the desert leaving a sizeable inland sea in the middle of Australia. In the northern Nigeria a wave of something left a vast forest of Amazonian rainforest proportions full of trees & plants and animals which had never been seen by science but no people. In the USA at 13:16 British standard time a huge shock wave erupted from the middle of  lake Michigan, rapidly followed  by the rise of a mountain which dwarfed Everest, which displaced significant amounts of water from that lake flooding areas devastated by the shock wave.....

What most people where at first unaware off was what else had changed and even those who where aware something had changed could not fathom most of its implications and where if any thing even more stunned than the rest of the population who surrounded them.

Deep in the Viceroys palace in the City of Heaven, in a small conference room she used as a crisis command centre  Dancer, the Viceroy paced and read the beautifully written reports as she watched the feed from the shattered mortal worlds television services on the newly installed bank of television screens and met with the celestial incarnae and the heads of the ministries of heaven. As usual such meetings had left her deeply annoyed, & Dancer did not handle annoyance at all well.  However ages of dealing with it had trained  her to subsume it into something more useful than having the lot of them forged into star metal much as that thought amused her.

Something had to be done and if reports proved correct the world had changed such that the gods could again walk the earth as they had up to the end of the fourth age and she felt responsible for this as she was becoming aware that her field agents had been very close to if not at the epicentre of the first event. Dancer turned to he secretary  a nervous looking air aspect form Saudi who had exalted at twelve and had to be rescued before the locals killed the poor girl out of superstitious fear. finally she spoke " I think we need to make our presence felt especially as the  cause of the current disaster would seem to be deteriorations of fourth age weapons of mass destruction"

In Washington DC president Palin had ordered a nuclear strike on Iran within seconds of the Michigan event occurring as the as it was obviously some sort of terrorist attack as she sped along towards the relative safety of air force one she began receiving reports of what seemed to be a pre-emptive strike against the weapons she had ordered used and ordered the newly refurbished strategic bomber force into action at Defcon 5 it was already in the air. When her motorcade was stopped by an elderly gentleman in a tweed suit.  He walked through her bodyguard, brushing it aside politely and  equally politely knocked on the door of the presidents car. " Mistress President we need to talk" he said in a soft very English voice apparently unconcerned by the fire arms pointed at him and the screaming security detachment.

In London Dancer walked through the half ruined streets towards  Broadcasting house in Portland place accompanied only by her escorted only by her secretary, Alyia  and the god she had chosen to head up the relief effort, Evocative Thought  who having not seen the mortal world close up in ages was dawdling to rubberneck, Dancer didn't blame him he was after all about as sensible as they came which might not be much when one thought of the inhabitants of Heaven.

As ever Dancer strode with a lethal grace despite the scenes of carnage around her.....

Evocative Thought liked the BBC World service it was just like heaven really and they where so nice to him in all the services he appeared on  his only issue was that they kept inviting him onto to religious affairs programs and some times that got a bit nasty especially as he knew less than nothing about  current human religions and was not about to comment form a position of utter ignorance on any of them. He was there to coordinate Heavens response to the disaster and to provide relief aid and help with the rebuilding not to argue religion or philosophy and yes he was a god but that did not make him an expert on current comparative theology.

Even so he would rather appear on even one of those programs than have to talk to another American senate sub committee especially as the American president seemed to have decided that heaven was to blame for all of this and even though she had been relived of duty on mental health grounds she had far to many supporters with guns who where prepared to use them and didn't get quite how bullet proof gods where. It did not help that every such incident caused the Division of Battles to grow more insistent about sending Peace keeping forces to the US
