-2058 Anno Domini.

we expected it to happen, but we didn't think it would go about this way

It happened just 22 years ago...

There was ash everywhere, people were dying in the streets from the effects post-impact. It all began on late 2029 when astronomers discovered a large rock (possibly an exoplanet) somewhere over 1000 kilometers in size had passed through the Oort cloud, sending hundreds of small meteors soaring across the solar system, with dozens heading straight for Earth. The largest of the meteors was 200 kilometers, calculations were made and at the velocity of the large meteor was going it would hit Earth by  2036.

Terrified, the world was briefly united together in an effort to build a global planetary defense system against the oncoming wave of meteors. With the richest of the rich worked with the poorest of the poor to save the planet from destruction through resource and idea exchange. Many remembered it as a brief 7 year Golden Age of Humanity, where technology had given a boost from this effort and motivation. It was a daring and dutiful time for many, but they all knew what was to come by 2036.
