What Little Remains (Scenario)

22nd December 2037. 7:43 AM EST. Wilson, North Carolina. A certain 37 year old man named Ryan Kiehlmeier looks at the outside world from a computer in his bunker, connected to cameras on the surface. Here it comes. The asteroid. The one that was to end it all. Ever since NASA announced the arrival of the asteroid back in September, the world had panicked. Chaos ensued, the people not knowing if their death awaited in the next few months or not. Some dismissed it as fake news. Some took their lives. Others prayed to God, to Allah, to Buddha, to whoever they thought could save them. But those prayers were not answered. Here the asteroid was, moving quickly towards the south. Ryan, from the safety of his bunker, looks at the last few seconds of the old, pre-asteroid world. His thoughts were suddenly cut by an explosion, followed by a shockwave and a very strong earthquake. Although Ryan Kiehlmeier survived the asteroid, many others did not. Between 6 to 7 billion people died that fateful December morning. The world woke up to find human civilization gone, the once great metropolises reduced to ash and rubble. Devastation was everywhere, and humanity has lost almost all hope of surviving this cataclysm. Will humanity have what it takes to rebuild and forge a whole new civilization, or will what little remains of humankind be swept away into the dustbin of history forever? Only time will tell.

What it's about
Hope you enjoyed the side story there. This scenario is about the apocalypse. Only it's not your conventional apocalypse, with mushroom bombs going off everywhere, radiation, fallout, you get the idea. Instead, it's how the dinosaurs went: a big fat asteroid. So anyways, on December 22, 2037, a six-mile (10 km) wide asteroid slams into the US states of Georgia and South Carolina, obliterating much of both states. The resulting fires, shockwaves, earthquakes and tsunamis, cause a major global cooling, the sixth mass extinction and pretty much the end of human civilization. The scenario then follows the next 3 millennia as humanity regains their footing on Earth, and ultimately looks outward, towards the galaxies.
