Today was the beginning of a new era. We met with the president, and it was a bit surprising. He had a gun strapped to his hip and one slung around hi shoulder. He wore a well tailored suit with one leg tailored to knee height. This revealed a prosthetic leg. I caught myself staring at it as did the president, because he said, "I lost it in the initial outbreak, on the way to the safe room the head of the secret service took a hunk out of my calf, and it had to be removed. I had all my pant legs shortened in order to put it on display. I want the people know that I've lost things as well. I'm not untouchable, just like them. So, what do you have for us."
I told them our story, and gave them the formula for the cure. The president thanked us and told us we are to stay there and help out as best we can. He said the thing we achieved were far greater then what the full power of the American Government could achieve. He also told me they had contact with all the nations of the UN, and that rough estimates put the death toll at 5 billion. This was the first time I had hear how many had been killed. It will take a great effort to save our species, but I know it can be done. God promised he would sustain us, and I haven't lost my faith.
I have been placed on the research team to mass produce the cure, and engineer a vaccine. Raito has been placed on the R&D team to improve the bases tech. Luna, Bruce, Cody, and Samantha will be placed in security ranks. Evelyn has been placed on security detail as well, but as a body guard for me. This was a special request I made. I have enough training now to defend myself. I just want to spend more time with her. I really do love her.
