Christ’s name,” he said, totally oblivious to the Defence Ministers out cry at his actions behind him. The fractured white line disappeared and reappeared, darting from one side to the other and again it split in to a fork this time with three distinct prongs before disappearing again!
    “ Looks like lightening ,” said Lars.
    “ I think i t’ s contaminated ,” said David.
    “WHAT!” yelped the Defence Minister.
    “ What have you done Lars ?” said Sven without lifting his head from his porthole. Lars did n’ t answer anyone, he just watched transfixed.
    Rippling and quivering it started to arc closer to the larger mass, its internal lightning bolt came to the surface again, and this time it stayed there, arcing all over the surface of the globule, splitting up and forking like a tiny lightning bolt, like lightning compressed in a bubble, trying to burst out.
    “ Oh my God !” Lars whispered under his breath and finally the two globules joined together. Lars took a deep breath relaxing as the exercise ball sized lump of shaking antimatter erupted from the inside with what looked like a frantic lightning storm!
    “Oh shit!” is all Lars got to say....

    SKY NEWS : The sudden catastrophic eruption in Norway yesterday still remains unexplained!
    The site continues to spew thousands of tonnes of ash and debris in to the atmosphere which is causing wide spread disruption across Norway.
    Thousands of people have been forced from their homes, and thousands more have been told to prepare to evacuate their homes in case of another blast.
    It seems no one is safe from the affects of the ash tha t’ s descending across Norway like a fog. The fine ash particles are causing extreme breathing difficulties to everyone within its range regardless of their age or fitness level and sadly in some cases the effects have already proved to be fatal!
    Everyone within range of the ash are being advised to stay indoors and keep their windows and doors closed at all times white the ash cloud continues to spread.
     
    REUTERS : The ash is being carried by the wind!

    All other surrounding countries are constantly re-evaluating their air space safety and could close down at any time!
    Oil workers soon to be stranded on offshore oil and gas installations in the Norwegian Sea are to be ferried back to shore by supply boats, as of right now a fleet of boats are en route to many of the oil and gas instillations.

    Towns and villages are being buried under a thick blanket of ash. The city of Oslo is unrecognisable!
    The eruption site still continues to spew out thousands of tonnes of ash by the hour!
    Swedish air space has closed down and i t’ s reported that Finland, Denmark and even Northern Germany are ready to follow, closing their air space at a momen t’ s notice as the enormous ash cloud spreads ever further carried by the wind.

    SKY NEWS : Ash cloud on the move!
    North Western Europe air space is in a state of total shut down creating the largest no fly zone since world war two as the giant ash cloud spreads, dominating Europe!
    New fears arise as low pressure over Great Britain that has lead to predictions of the harshest winters in decades, could actually result in air flow pulling the ash cloud towards Britain.
    Violent displays of thunder and lightning have been reported within th e stil l growing ash cloud!
    Scientists studying the case say this is caused by friction build up between debris rubbing together within the ash cloud and is nothing to worry about!
    Extensive black outs have been reported in Norway further hampering conditions.
