In a vast auditorium transformed into a nerve center of urgency and innovation, top physicists and scientists from across the globe gather via high-tech video conference. Screens display intricate simulations, real-time data feeds, and satellite images of Asteroid Risca, casting a somber tone over the digital landscape. The atmosphere crackles with tension as each expert absorbs the gravity of the impending crisis.
Henry, head of NASA's space defense sector, appears as a dark silhouette on the main screen, his presence commanding despite his video feed remaining mysteriously black. His silent observation adds an eerie weight to the proceedings, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.
Dr. Meow, representing China, breaks the tense silence with urgency in his voice. "We're running out of time to innovate new technologies. Humanity faces extinction in just six months. How did we miss this?" His stark assessment prompts murmurs of agreement among his peers—an audacious proposal involving the global deployment of nuclear devices onboard spacecraft, intended to detonate on Risca's surface to alter its trajectory and avert disaster.
Dr. Baran, the German scientist, adds a grim technical assessment to the unfolding crisis. "Our simulations suggest even a partial impact from Risca could spell catastrophic disaster. We must act decisively to divert its course away from densely populated regions. Redirecting it towards oceanic regions might reduce immediate casualties, but Risca's immense mass could induce seismic disturbances exceeding magnitude 12 across a 10,000-kilometer radius, triggering mega-tsunamis capable of inundating entire continents," he warns, his voice tinged with concern.
The discussion intensifies as each scientist contributes their expertise, proposing strategies ranging from kinetic impactors to advanced gravitational manipulation technologies aimed at altering Risca's trajectory. Throughout, Henry interjects with concise directives and probing questions, guiding the conversation towards actionable plans and international cooperation. His authoritative demeanor underscores the urgency of their mission—the survival of humanity hangs in the balance, and time is swiftly running out.
"I've heard your proposals," Henry finally declares, his voice resonant with resolve. "I will consult with the leaders of UN member countries and deliver an update by tomorrow."With that, the virtual meeting concludes, leaving the assembled scientists to disperse with a renewed sense of purpose and a daunting awareness of the monumental task ahead. They exchange acknowledgments and commitments to reconvene after Henry's briefing, knowing that the fate of the world rests on their shoulders and the unity of their collective efforts in the challenging days and weeks ahead.
