A note to myself.

After thinking about the apocalyptic angle. To hell with the whole squid red herring bullshit.

Keep the evangelist, but have him simply have recruited military, officers, etc etc in plans for one major internal civil war. He promises that it will bring about the apocalypse.

Interestingly he's right. As soon as his members who are part of america's military launch strikes against themselves, and suicide bomb, north korea, iran, soviet union, etc, all launch attacks on other parts of the world. America itself is nuked.

An all out war does ensue, but its brief. Before long, the dust settles and people realize what they've done. 2/3rds of the human race has been destroyed, and all thats left are fragments of society.

Should probably figure out who does what where and how...
