Archimedes death4/28/2023 ![]() I can say with the utmost conviction that the league was nothing of the sort. Such tales are as fraudulent as the accusations that the League of Knowledge, which I was head of at the time of its demise, was some sort of gang of super-villainous scientists. I most certainly did not die in a bumbling act of espionage, carrying a top-secret weapon to the Hun headquarters, in Berlin, as some of the reports of the day had it. They bear no more similarity to the truth than the tales invented to cover up what really happened at the Somme. Let me assure you, however, that those tabloid stories are exactly that: stories. My scientific career was what would politely be called unremarkable, but my death was decidedly spectacular. You have, I trust, heard of me-thanks to the newspaper reports of my passing, if not my work on genetics. I am afraid I am no longer Archimedes Smith and have not been since my death. I am the scientist once known as Archimedes Smith. Now that I have your attention, dear reader, allow me to introduce myself. ![]() The real enemy is already among us, and it is not me. I am fighting to save humanity and even the world itself. And I am not your enemy, despite all those loved ones of yours I was forced to slaughter. We are in a war.īut it is not the war you think we are fighting. I will spare you the details of that carnage, for they are more horrific than you can imagine, given what I have become. I know this because I was the one who killed them all. ![]() But they were not killed by the enemy, or at least not the enemy from the newspaper accounts. The good soldiers are indeed dead, I am sorry to say. I am writing to tell you that news is a lie. To whom it may concern-and it should concern every living soul left on the planet:īy now you will have read the news of the Battle of the Somme and the tens of thousands of poor souls that died there, gunned down in the killing fields and trenches turned graves.
