In the meantime, these stopgap measures will have to suffice, as people around the world look to their leaders for help. This past winter alone, an estimated 3 million people in North America died due to lack of proper heating. This crisis has led to a number of smaller conflicts around the world. Aside from the war between humans and Votans, human versus human and even alien versus alien skirmishes are increasingly common. Some believe we’re living in the end of days. Everywhere they look, they see war, famine, and pestilence walking among us—with death’s pale horse rounding the corner. Perhaps that’s why many are already calling this worldwide conflict “The Pale Wars.”
==Chute des Arches==
{{Traduction}}What follows is a partial transcript from The Affiliated Press wire service on January 5, 2030—a day otherwise known as ARKFALL. This document was recovered from the wreckage of a bombed-out building in lower Manhattan almost eight years later.
15:02 GMT: Our affiliates in Shanghai and Hong Kong report interruptions in cellular data networks across all of southeast Asia. More information as we try to confirm.
15:07 GMT: Stations in Moscow and Helsinki are reporting similar incidents of cellular signal loss.
15:14 GMT: Worldwide cellular data networks are down. Terrestrial fiber-optic communications remain operational. Attempting to contact the U.S. government for comment, though some experts suggest this interference may be due to a problem with our satellite networks.
15:20 GMT: BREAKING NEWS. Reports of massive explosions in the skies over New York, London, Tokyo, Mumbai, and others. Arks in space? Awaiting confirmation. Details to follow.
15:24 GMT: We have received confirmation that the Votan Arks have simultaneously exploded in space, reasons unknown. Observatories around the world are tracking thousands of objects falling from orbit. Projected impact within the hour.
15:58 GMT: Sources outside of Stockholm report that the U.S. Embassy has been completely destroyed after suffering a direct hit from a piece of shrapnel.

18:33 GMT: Something’s happening outside… We’ve lost all incoming signals. I heard a boom, then someone screaming. We can’t get out. If anyone receives this message, please –-
TRANSMISSION ENDS.
That was the final transmission from Affiliated Press headquarters in New York. The record of what transpired next is inconclusive, as all telephone, internet, cellular, and long-range radio communications ceased to function in the days that followed.
