With my advance knowledge and capabilities I was able to maintain 24 hour alert readiness status on 10 assigned…

JOURNAL TOPIC #3 - SETTING The setting is an integral part of any story, especially a Sci-Fi story. With no setting, the book has no location set with it, which can leave the reader confused and sometimes un-interested. The setting in The Kill Order, written by James Dashner, plays a huge role in the book. It communicates with the reader where these solar flares hit, and really how devastating they were.

When a neutron is absorbed by isotope of X-- given that X is some given element-- another isotope of X is created. Though sometimes these newly-created isotopes of X are very unstable. They may be so unstable, in fact, that they only exist briefly before splitting into two separate and distinct chemicals. Radioactive photons, massive energy, and neutrons are shot out in the surrounding area. As long as more Isotopes of X still exist in the area, this can, in turn, create a grand chain reaction…
