Word Count: 1951

Established half of the backstory and introduced one of the Chekhov guns.

The world is flooded because some dumbass extremist environmentalists tried to blow up the polar ice caps to show what would happen if the ice caps were to melt with science-induced material that was made to be able to rehydrate villages with a small amount of water.

Result? The world is plenty hydrated now.

The protagonist is stationed in an underground\undersea airbase, has seen the restored Mustang, and is about to be tasked with fighting aliens.

The Chief mechanic also has an accent. I'm not exactly sure what it is.

AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love it!

Environmentalists being super-childish, finally snapped after getting ridiculed on the world stage, revert to terrorism that fucks up the environment to... what, prove they were right? Awesome!

[Slurpee]

No, the validator doesn't work. You can edit the little box above the validator that says Word Count: 0 to whatever number you want.

Here's the excerpt.

The flooding was gradual. People didn’t see the water around their shoes until it was pointed out to them, and still they thought that someone else would take care of it, it’s someone else’s problem, and continued to live their lives as they normally did. This meant that they put crap everywhere, despite the best efforts of many to try to change their habits.

Then things went really wrong, as a sect of radical environmentalists had decided to take things into their own hands. They planned to hijack some high-grade thermonuclear material and show them what was going to happen by blowing up the northern polar ice cap. They succeeded, but it turned out that what they thought was thermonuclear material (which would only blow up a small portion of the ice cap and raise the water about a foot) was in fact the material for a “hydration bomb,” designed to convert a small amount of water and air into a high yield of water (named so because of the speedy reaction). However, the material for the hydration bomb was very reactive, only needing about a jug of water to be able to hydrate an entire village’s community for a month.

By mixing the highly reactive material with the water packed into the ice caps, the results were fairly typical. A lot of water plus highly-reactive water-forming material meant that the whole world was going to be plenty hydrated.

The validator isn't activated until November 25. It only confirms that you wrote 50,000 words so that you can win.

By the way, I reached 4,018 words today, which took me through the first chapter. I introduced most of the characters in small vignettes to show possibilities of what this world could be like for everyone. You can read it at my blog if you like.

I'm starting very slowly and shakily. Keep getting distracted. You never realise just how fascinating absolutely everything else is until you sit down to write.

Still, 2k for yesterday. I'm trying to get the most out of this weekend.
