Dr. Cameron has his hand full with the project of collaborative 1000 GeV accelerator complex at CERN. The British and Australian governments have started a joint radio telescope venture. There is a slight problem. The astronomers disagree with the execution of the used technology to build the device. The British government calls Cameron to sort out the details as independent expert with his American colleague the Australians have accepted. At Australia, on site of the planned telescope landing, he notices a bight halo, circumference, nearby Mars at the night sky. The optical telescopes verify that that the center of galaxy has gone nova. The cosmic rays are traveling at light speed with a force where Earth's magnetic field won't give much shelter. The galactic core will wipe out life on Earth in two weeks.
