Definition: In this task, five ordered key facts are given. All the given facts are expressed in natural language. Your job is to generate a story 100 to 1000 words long, that includes all the facts given as input in their order of appearance while expanding upon them to produce a broader, yet coherent, narrative.
Input: Fact1: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Colonel Leslie Groves is assigned to head ultra-secret Manhattan Project to beat Germans in building atomic bomb, Fact2: Groves picks University of California to head team of project, Fact3: Oppenheimer was familiar with northern New Mexico, Fact4: different personalities of military man and scientist clash in keeping project on track, Fact5: Michael retrieves it by hand in to avoid disaster

In September 1942, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Colonel Leslie Groves Paul Newman who oversaw construction of the Pentagon is assigned to head the ultrasecret Manhattan Project, to beat the Germans in building an atomic bomb. Groves picks University of California, Berkeley physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer Dwight Schultz to head the team of the project. Oppenheimer was familiar with northern New Mexico from his boyhood days when his family owned a cabin in the area. For the new research facility, he selects a remote location on top of a mesa adjacent to a valley called Los Alamos Canyon, northwest of Santa Fe. The different personalities of the military man Groves and the scientist Oppenheimer often clash in keeping the project on track. Oppenheimer in turn clashes with the other scientists, who debate whether their personal consciences should enter into the project or whether they should remain purely researchers, with personal feelings set aside. Nurse Kathleen Robinson Laura Dern and young physicist Michael Merriman John Cusack question what they are doing. Working with little protection from radiation during an experiment, Michael drops a radioactive component during an experiment dubbed Tickling the Dragons Tail and retrieves it by hand in order to avoid disaster, but is exposed to a lethal dose of radiation. In the base hospital nurse Kathleen can only watch as he develops massive swelling and deformation before dying a miserable death days later. While the technical problems are being solved, investigations are undertaken in order to thwart foreign espionage, especially from communist sympathizers who might be associated with socialist organizations. The snooping reveals that Oppenheimer has had a young mistress, Jean Tatlock Natasha Richardson, and he is ordered by Groves to stop seeing her. After he breaks off their relationship without being able to reveal the reasons why, she is unable to cope with the heartache and is later found dead, apparently a suicide. As the project continues in multiple sites across America, technical problems and delays cause tensions and strife. To avoid a single point of failure plan, two separate bomb designs are implemented: a large, heavy plutonium bomb imploded using shaped charges Fat Man, and an alternate design for a thin, less heavy uranium bomb triggered in a shotgun design Little Boy. The bomb development culminates in a detonation in southcentral New Mexico at the Trinity Site in the Alamogordo Desert 05:29:45 on July 16, 1945, where everyone watched in awe at the spectacle of the first mushroom cloud with roaring winds, even miles away. In the end, both bombs, Fat Man and Little Boy, were successful, ushering in the Atomic Age.
