Ok now i will try to do my best, to give you a good, anderstandable resume, of my other place on earth, that are invaded by the tripods, As you all know, the book is the sequel of the modern version, of wotw. So it has to start from the 1st invasion as for montreal, or new-york havent decided yet. The Ultimate War of the World, the sequel. Civil war in Africa, is a way of life, in certain part of that country, it is very difficult for the government, and for the ordinary peoples, they where living in constant fear, they where in one sense not humain anymore, leaving in constant fear, means that they felt as tracked as animals being chased by hunters. In South Africa, things was going better as Nelson Mandela became president, and helped the country to survive with equality, between blacks and whites, peoples. Whith some help coming from western country, mostly for humain need, as money for food, medicine,etc. To help peoples in the process of a changing life. but peoples had to be aware, there where still danger.there is some big citys over there to, they dont all live in huts as we may think sometimes. The violence was very high in Johanesbourg. There was still violence, but it was more on the side of urban violences, steeling, rape, drugs, on a larger scale than western country, because of the poverty. After the apartheid the confidence was not great between black and white, it got better with time. Richard was living in Johanesbourg since 5 years, with is wife Karen, and there 2 childrens Dave and Kevin. He was doing a report, to give to his employer, A television station in Canada (or usa) dont know yet). And he saw, as everybody else, the lightnings, a lot of it, with a sound they never heard before. This was not reassuring one bit. This was scary, more than anything else they saw before, this wasn't normal at all, never saw or heard that in their life, the absolute unknown. After a few minutes, everything stops, the wind, the lightnings, the sound, and the power. everybody was moving, As if waiting for something to happens. Everywhere in the city,peoples heard, or saw something, shopping centers, sky scraper, and more. I thought. After a few minutes, something made noise under the street, with a vibration, deep within the earth, then another sound, after one more minute, the street and buildings started to trembles, and shaking more and more by the second. Peoples had to move back, and back to get further and further of this unwelcome action. Everybody where Terrified. the hearts where beating in unisons it seems, with an accelerated pace. Then a noise, Wthat a noise!!! like a machine working sound, something came out of the whole, a leg?feet? it was BIG HIGH MONUMENTAL, it pass high very high on the top of everybody heads, an people that was close to it when it came down on the street, where frightned, the sound it made, and how it look, after a second, new king of noise came to us, like a mechanical motor working hard, and then something came out, peoples started to run backward, and turn to run faster, A cabin was coming out of the street, with different colours on the top, than the cabin elevate higher and higher, and the other legs appeared, when it was halfway up, we saw on others streets, about, every four blocks, other cabins coming higher, there was alot of them, When it was high on is legs, we had a tripod machines, infront of us, after a few second it made a call, chilling sound, that i never heard before, and then we heard the others tripods responding, one after the other, I have decided to go in the back of a concrete wall a few feets from me, that way it make it possible to joint his wife and children at the school very near by, Either my whife or me, whent to take our childs from school every day, because of the violence in the city. Then another sound, of a machine gaining strengh, more and more high pitch, I looked in the direction of the Tripod, Journalist habbit, and suddently, it started to kill peoples, eleminated them, nothing was left but dust, and destroying buildings, cars, it was a ray, pretty big ray, weard noise, like lazer a big lazer, when I saw it i was happy to be on the other side of the wall. I went running for the school, and when I arrived, to my surprise peoples did'nt seems, to know what was happening, but i knew otherwise, so I said, everybody in the basement! Now, there is something happening outside, we have to go now, the basement of the school was without window, better this way, the first floor, was in concrete, and the door was monumental, and thick, solid, I asked the students and teacher, to pick all the food and water they can from the cafeteria. We didn't have much time, but we had to have food and water, and on top of it, there was food downstair for the cafeteria. So in 10 minutes, we where already in the basement, trying to save ourselve. We wish, that the tripods would pass us by and take care of others places, and leave us alone. I was aware of peoples suffering, but I had to stay here. The city on the top of us, was in the process of being destroyed. A lot of children here with us could be orphans, and all the teachers and the director, Lost loved ones to. for now I have to say. I was very afraid. Hey guys some more tomorrow or the day after I am very tired right now, and i have strong back pain, so the grammar mistakes are not completly done, please bare with me. Chantale. cheers. yesterday night. this morning, also, I know that there is a description of what happened in the movie, but I have to do that at least one time, to be able to pin down the fear, and the incomprehension, that peoples lived at the time, So that is why I decided to make something like the movie, just to put the biginning of the book in the concept, of what will come after. I have three diferent, places, New-york(or Montreal), The islands like hawaii, and Johanesbourg in South Africa. So all the work being done already, and the one in the futur, will be from theses 3 part of the globe. It is gonna be very hard for the peoples of Johanesbourg, to survive, Richard, and the rest of peoples, left the school after a week, there was no more sound. They gonna have to go on the country side, the city is completly destroyed, there is nothing left, the situation is worse than NY. who will survive, how will they, survive, how will they reconstruct.....more soon. Chantale.

I am gonna send you another part of the story The Ultimate war of the worlds, Africa. We where so frightened, how could we combat that kind of invasion. Already we did'nt have anough defense for regular war. try to Imagine that. After a while we heard the sirenes, our sirenes, as if a nuclear warhead, was coming on us, or a tornado.We heard a lot of noises, It seems there was a infinite number of these machines. At times we heard army trucks, planes, helicopter, fithing with then, Or where they??At each minute passing, we lost some of the army artillery noise. At the end it was only the sound of theses, horrific machines. We could hear buildings being destroyed, peoples where screaming, it was hell. by what we saw, with the tentacules, we knew that they could come here take us with them and kill us. So we had to have a plan. After a little while, we made a short conference. we decided, that the school director and a female teacher, will take care of 1/3 of the childrens, Another teacher, with the handy men will take another1/3, And finally us, the last 1/3, including our 2 childrens. We tried to reassure the childrens, that if we have to leave this place, we would do anything possibe, to keep them together. At that moment i tought that i knew that at least one of the children will not see their parents again. LATER ON THE BOOK. Now was the time to really to put the plan on the table and realise it. At least we had food and water, No matter how many time we change it we need a plan. the fear, I feel, make me alert, in situation like these, it generate adrenaline, but it also generate, lost of sleep, I just wish for me and every adults here, to have enough of both, to take care of the childrens. They are our futur, we how them life, they have to live, to be able to construct the brave new world, espescially if this phonemena is around the world. Just thinking about that, and earing the noise on top of us, made me nauxious. I woke up ran far from the others, and throwed up, as i never did in my whole life. I was very much afraid, and at that moment, i did'nt feel like a man anymore, I felt as a failure, I started to cry, what can i do? I can't stop that, what can i do the save my family, and the others. I felt a hand tuching my shaulder, It was my wife, she took me in her harms, and told me that I was capable to help, but not alone, all the adults there are here to help, to. You can't do everything by yourself. So stop crying, become a man again, even the childrens can help us. I whent back to my responsabilitys, and continued, plans, whith others, about our departure from this basement. what will we find, when we come out of here, Will we find other survivors, Will we humain, try to kill them with chemical, biological, or nuclear. Do we have A chance, and if so, what will it be..........more to come in the future ................Chantale

Ok guys, I did write yesterday, again, in Africa, I am following the story, in the basement of the school. They will come out of there after 5 days without any noises from upstair. After we decided to stay 2 more days, to be sure, these 2 days came and past. We had to go. The main raison to leave, was to find out what had happened, who attacked us, if there was other survivors, and decide where to do and go, next. So we prepared, we had to bring food, clothes, and something to sleep, this part will be hard, we are not used or train physically as soldiers, Everybody was bringing something, the childrens to. We brought the minimum possible weight. (Dont forget that these are resume, of what I write. so sometimes could be hard to follow,I will make it as clear as possible.) So now they are leaving the basement of the school. after 10 days. No noise anymore from upstair, since 5 days. When we where outside, The director of the school and me, we saw that there was no more city, no more anything, but red red red, everywhere, At least there was no tripods. I approched what I thought was a kind of living thing, a red living thing, I touch it, the texture was between a weed, and skin, What came out in my mind, is that was coming from an alien world, or was it a human military experience gone bad?? The only description or name I was thinking of for this is red weed. (another resume.) the walked in the city, what was left of it, the main think now for them, is to find other survivors. (Another resume)They found something resembling a entry for the metro station. some of them will stay close but not to close to door, He decided to bring his wife an childrens with him to try to find other survivor. Was'nt a perfect decision, but it was it. they went in a first tunnel, did'nt find anybody, came back and went to another tunnel. Then they ear voices, they found other survivors, there was about 40 peoples there. they seems to be in good ealth, when they saw them, it was good news at first, but could become bad if they, had to share food with to much others peoples, So he told them that there was more people at the entry, but dont worry they have food and water for a while. These peoples where also doing reconaissance, but only in the metro. He told them that they would have to come out someday to find other peoples. the responded oh no, we will not come out of here any time soon, did you see their food? they say, the red thing. That we decided to call blood weed. said a guy named Paul. So they explain what was the red weed. All of it. So this was not a joke, He new that by the look of the other persons.(resume). Can I say it was Ultimate, because it was ultimate, everything about it was ultimate, nothing i could think, of would explain what I saw, feel and heard. US FOOD, US FOOD, (not my blood, not my blood)JOKE guys lol). I would never imagine in my life, being in fear to be eated, by other beings. Maybe they where still alive and here not far, the red weed was fresh, and waiting for them, How could I protect my family from that. God help us. I Went to bring back the rest of the peoples, in the tunnel. I had the feeling that theses people wont come outside, any time soon. (FURTHER IN THE STORY) Two days passed and gone, how many will stay here, how many will come with us? I found out that most of these peoples wanted to stay in the tunnel. As for the school, only 1/4 of them wanted to come, So the janiter and one of the teacher came with us and some childrens, When we left there some were crying, sadness, fear of separation. But we had to leave. We got outside, it was sunny, But with that God Damned red weed. I felt that we where on Mars. The color was reflecting on everything. I did'nt want to tuch it. the story that it was made with us humains, was not that farfetch, because of the Crows we saw, eathing that red weed. Seing this, frightened me. But it was real. I was really surprised by my childrens, they did'nt scream or anything like that. They looked very serious, They where afraid of course, but we lived it second by second, No tripods anywhere yet. An then, THE TRIPOD CALL, sound, close very close. we all turn around, at the exact time we saw the tripod infront of us, we heard another TRIPOD CALL. We started to run, trying to bring as much of peoples as possible back in the metro tunnels. Then we heard another TRIPOD CALL. We heard peoples, screaming, I turned my head back, for a second, and I saw my wife going up in a tentacule, I could not stay there, I had to run for my childrens, at that moment i heard my wife's screams, I was going creasy!!! with shame, and rage. i was still running, with my two boys, If we survive i told them, we will fight them. And than we where in the metro. We went to the other peoples, I have lost my wife, and we lost ten other childrens and the janiter. My decision to go out was a big mistake, I did'nt know they where still there. Beside the red weed nothing, could tell us they where still here in the city, there was no noise, since days. I did'nt know what to do anymore, do I stay here, Do I go back in the school, I did'nt have confidence anymore in my jugement. And my wife was'nt there anymore to encourage me. But my childrens where, And they looked at me with love, they knew it was'nt my fault, but i did'nt. This Journalist guy, is Richard, is Wife Sandra, and to childrens, to boys, Dave and kevin, this is in Africa. This is it for now, next time back to New-York, yes i am almost decided to put the story in New-York instead montreal. Just because of the larger size of the city, and more people know about new york than montreal around the world. ALSO VERY IMPORTANT, I MADE SOME COMMENTS IN BIG LETTERS LIKE THESE, ON ENCIENT IDEAS, OR TEXT THAT I SENT IN THE BIGINNING. thanks for reading me. Chantale. ;D Oh also is there anyway I can change the title of the thread, because the experiments as nothing to do with what i am in now for the story. At the least erease the words the experiments. thanks in advance. Chantale. I took time to go back and correct at least some of the spelling mistake i did this morning.

I have realise, that I was a way back in Africa, than in NY. And because of that New york, will wait a little bit. I Just wanted to have at least one place that began with the tripods, just to explain the fear they have by living it. Now there is more dead due tu a bad decision. The time of the tripods will be over soon. So we are gonna able to see how Africa will be able to deal with the aftermath. My point with Africa, is, To show, the difference between a rich country and poorer country, than us, or most of us. Maybe you would imagine that after what happened everybody will be equal. But it wont be. When we had great economy, and great connections. You still have it for what is left. If you dont have good economy and not enought good connection, it is more difficult. This is the reason why, i decided to put 3 differents places, or Country for the reconstructions, and later, the second invasion. the Island because there was no tripods, but will become great misery none of the less. Africa, witch, did'nt have money before the invasion, so it is gonna be more difficult. And New-York will be better, but dont get me wrong it will be difficult anyway. Other things is gonna happend, like accidents. I dont tell you what it is for now. You will Know later lol. I also realise that talking in I, as a man, is probably difficult for you all, to comprehend, since I am a women. But it is hard to take a feminin role as a leader of everything, In protection of the family, and protection of other peoples. Men and Women work togheter, but most of the time, we live a leadership by a or more man, in concert with everybody. So i Hope i dont sound to girlish, in my role as a man, and if so dont be shy to tell me. And also If there is anything you dont like about what I write. tell me I want to know. Dont worry about the english writing, when it is time, it is gonna be fixed. In the end, as for the translate in french later on. So please give me some feed back even if it harsh. I wanted also to reassure you that i did some research for Black African names, to, So I am making a bank of it. They are a bigger and bigger, part of the economy in Africa, Thanks to Nelson Mandela. I also wanted to tell you I know about Johannesburg because of a book i have red, from a Canadian women, from here in Quebec province, Montreal, that was working for CBC Canada, in johanesburg, and she got married with a close very close employe of Nelson Mandela, she is living in the two countrys, So this is why I have decided to take Johannesburg for Africa. Also, this city is big, And the economy is not that bad. But less money alway put more misery, when something bad happen. ;D Chantale ;D

Hi everybody, this is the time for a resume. A real one this time meaning, that it wont be to long. And guess what guys? Uk is gonna be included why, because the journalist, that work in Africa, he works for BBC in UK I have decided. there is 3 survivors, in his family, in UK. So we are gonna ear from UK from time to time, because of BBC. Why i did that, FORUMS, here and 2 other one, many members come from UK, I wanted to do a tribute to all of those people, including you guys of course, and also for HG Wells. Africa A guy was able to come out of the cabin, because the Aliens are dying, he already being installed with their device to pump blood, from him, Painfull as hell, as soon as the aliens seems to be dead, he disconect himself, and went out he was really weak, with big efforts, he crawled and finally arrived where I was, Richard (my principal character). The guy survived, Is name is Amos Masondo. So Richard, wanted to go outside because, Now is the time, no mistake about it, to save people. He was'nt alone, almost everybody, came. But 1st Richard when into a cabin, He saw the aliens, it looked between Aliens, designed, from HG Well, and the modern version. But what was more amasing, No computers, no signs of equipment to run the machine, no windows, but then He saw something very disturbing, frightning, He saw humain technology..............Oh! but for now, he did'nt want to really think, or analyse it, he had to save lives. But this is something very scary, what hapened?, what is this?, and why? how?. Is there an alliance? experiment gone bad?? is there something like that right now, elswhere in the world? New-York. Somebody came to me and said, hey you know what, a guy that i know, Micheal, told me that he heard a conversation between two soldiers, they where talking about a discovery of humain thechnology, in the cabin of the tripods, and he said we better not say anything about it, they said the government would tell peoples that know about it, if they tell other peoples, they and there family will die........................... Same thing for Richard in Africa, same threat from the government. more next time. thanks for reading me. Chantale HEY GUYS, 100 PAGES, DONE, MANY MORE, TO COME. IT WILL BE FASTER, MY BUSY SUMMER IS OVER. CHANTALE. ;D ;D ;D

A little bit more of the book. resume. Still in Africa. I had to leave the tripod cabin, even after the discovery, of our technology, I had to get out, to save more life. This was more important right now, than our technology, being discovered, in the cabin, for now of course. Before leaving i took samples of everything i could, whith what i had, not much. Oh and when i saw the aliens. The really did'nt looked like us, it was a mix, of octupus, because of the tentacules, and they had 3 legs. And then as i was leaving the cabin, someting cut my eyes. I went back to the aliens, the eyes, where broun or blue, look as our eyes, looking closer, their ears, where not much different, than ours, Oh my god, even the nose resembles ours. what all of that means? 5 month later in africa, they are in the process of reconstruction, but at a smaller scale than US, UK and other countrys. The BBC news, Ask Richard to stay in africa, to gives new to UK. there was some, not much, satellite, working for europe. So the reports, for BBC. where not on a big scale, but they where short, and informatives. Other journalists from USA, and other countrys, and me, where invited by the army, and law enforcement, to stay with them. And of course our family. They say that our report is very important for the world, as much important as what the army does, or so. But we found out, that we where with them, to stop us saying certain things, on radio, or tv. And of the record, not only Africa goverment, but all governments, told us that if we talked about the interior of the cabin, and the aliens, we will be wiped out of the surface of the earth, and the same for our family. Of course i was not doing, only my journalist job, i was helping a lot for reconstruction, and more.Most of the countrys, where rebuilding faster than here. Even the middle east, was better, not all of it, but some. Oil fields where distroyed by the tripods, They will repear some, but not all of them, for now, in case the aliens, returns. And also, being 1/3 of the population, help to not open all the oil field. there where some transports, some of my family members survives in UK. We wanted informations, but most of it was Classified, as you saw earlier. more to come in the futur.............Chantale. And guys 100 pages today, I was very busy, this summer, imagine now, Fall and Winter coming, i will have more time, best guest less than a year, the first book will be completed.
