A Message In A Bottle · Page 13

A man in a protective hood shovels rubble into a wheelbarrow beside a building.

When the fire was out at last, robots were brought in to clear away the radioactive rubble left by the explosion.

Even these machines could not withstand so much radioactivity.

When the machines broke down, men covered in leaden armour came to clear away the rubble instead.

The authorities called them ‘bio-robots’.

The bio-robots mixed concrete and poured it over the top of the reactor to make a thick coffin … and they fell ill as they worked.
