fumes were twice denser than air and hence
travelled near the ground and saturated in the ventilation systems
of many houses in the city.
Once inhaled, the victim would take in
programmed HMX12 bacterial spores which Prof. McDonald and his team
had engineered from the normal Helicobacter pylori strains. These
bacteria had been programmed to produce solutions that stimulate
the secretion of gastric juice in the stomach. This would result
into increased acid content in the stomach. The acid secretion
would continue and in a period of one minute only, the victim would
start regurgitating it hence causing a very painful heartburn.
The more the acid would increase in the
stomach, the more the multiplication and action of the bacteria
would increase. Five minutes later, the bacteria would start
invading the gastric mucosa, resulting into inflammation of the
stomach lining. This would be followed by progressive swelling of
the stomach, reaching almost twice its normal size in only three
minutes. Distention of the stomach would inflict a sharp piercing
pain to the victim. He or she would lose strength and would fall to
the ground and start rolling over.
Simultaneously, the inhaled gases would pass
quickly to the alveoli of the lungs. After building up a good
partial pressure there, they would dissolve into the blood more
especially in the pulmonary veins which transport oxygenated blood
from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. The gas would
stimulate the action of platelets and the clotting factors in
blood. Small clots would start forming and after a short time
emboli would form which would obstruct the flow of blood in these
great vessels. This could even result into total blockage of these
blood vessels after some time.
The result would be labored breathing and
pain during inspiration. At a point of total occlusion of the vein,
the victim would start coughing up blood before they would die. The
combined effect of the bacteria and the poisonous gas would take
less than an hour to cause death to an individual. Each bomb could
produce enough fumes to kill over two hundred thousand people.
Though the victim would not die in just seconds, the pain they
would fill before death was enough to deter other nations from ever
thinking of rising against the ghosts.
The ghosts launched many more missiles which
were aimed at almost all major European cities, but none of them
reached their destinations. After hitting Ottawa, Gen. Cov’s
computer specialists fought hard to gain access to the ghosts’
killer satellites which they used to shoot down all the other ICBMs
before they could leave the US skies.
The hackers also took over the world’s
communication system from Lord Ghost’s team and used it to guide
their aircraft which had already started entering the US airspace.
An intensive dogfight between the aircraft on Lord Ghost’s side and
those on the side of the Ghoes ensued immediately. Lord ghost had
more aircraft than the Ghoes but many of them had expended most of
their ammunition in their fight with the US fighter jets.
The white striped aircraft were also fighting
in groups which increased their chances of destroying the target.
Two or three of them would attack a single aircraft at ago. They
would then fire their missiles at the target simultaneously.
Although the alloy that had been used to build their bodies was
strong enough to resist blasting, it could not survive explosions
from multiple missiles. Many of them started exploding after being
hit and they could be seen descending towards the ground.
After shooting down a good number of them,
some skeleton pilots on Lord Ghost’s side started ejecting their
seats in the same way human pilots had done at the start of the
aerial combat with US fighter jets. Within only two hours, more
than fifty percent of the aircraft on Lord Ghost’s side had been
shot down. But even with that success, the remaining aircraft on
Lord Ghost’s side were still more than those on the
