At the beginning the turn of the century, in the year 2001 to be precise, a catastrophe was said to have happened in Atlanta. The CDC, or Center for Disease Control, was attacked by a group of ‘terrorists’ who were trying to get their hands on the vast stores of dangerous diseases housed here. They did not succeed in their attempts, and were captured while trying to escape, but the damage that they inflicted on the whole of the building and its stores was enough to cause ma*s panic. They had all but destroyed every protection against the diseases, and the whole building was labeled as contaminated. The stores had been unfrozen, allowing the various pathogens there to grow, to spread. Atlanta was put under quarantine, and the people stuck there were terrified for their lives. They could not be allowed to leave, for that would cause more spread, and that terrified everyone else living in the United States, and quickly the entire world.
Days went by, and these days turned into weeks, where nothing happened. The outbreak of horrendous diseases such as ebola, influenza, and polio did not occur as had been expected. The people of Atlanta were simply… fine. They finally opened the borders again, and cleaned up the mess of the CDC. The government, the people, and the world believed that everything that had happened was finished. Everything was cleared of contamination, and was a-okay. And boy were they wrong in that extent.
The diseases had grown indeed, and they had indeed spread throughout Atlanta, but not in the way that everyone had expected it to be manifested. The ma*s of chaos that had ensued at the CDC had caused the various highly dangerous diseases to mutate together and form a new, super-pathogen. However, it was harmless to people in the way that in most cases it did not kill, but simply laid dormant in the blood of most of the people who had been in Atlanta at the time of the attack… Including those people who had attacked the CDC in the first place, the so called ‘terrorists’ now in prison for their crime. And soon the pathogen was starting to cause mutations in those it was a part of…
When these mutations began to manifest themselves, they sprung up all over the place, and it caused nearly as great a panic as the initial attack on Atlanta had. Some people simply seemed to go crazy and then died some horrific death… while some, some seemed to change. And this change was the thing that caused the fear and panic. They began to have powers. Yes, powers, as in superhero and supervillian type powers. And whether people wanted to admit it, it all led back to the people who had been quarantined in Atlanta.
The first generation, as those people infected were called, were not so bad as the second. These were the children of those who had been infected, those products of the families and the people who had been there. Their powers were far greater, and they started to gain more attention. Something had to be done about this “problem” as too many children were beginning to cause chaos… Some people wanted them simply to be exterminated, while other people wanted to see them put in a controlled environment. And so, since trying to kill ALL of the children resulting from parents who had been in Atlanta would be too hard, they started to form ‘camps’ around the world. Parents could send their children here if they exhibited signs of a mutation or ‘super power’ and they would be taken care of and educated. This seemed like the perfect solution.
But not everyone who was sent to these camps was happy about it. Some wanted out and would do whatever they could. Some did succeed in escaping, while others hope to topple the whole idea from the ground up… And so in these uncertain times, children are taking sides, the bad and the good being played out, and chaos is ensuing.
Your character will be thrust into the camp called Heatherfield. It is situated in a quiet, unpopulated area straddling the states of Nebraska and South Dakota. It is one of the larger camps, and takes in many children from around the world, though mainly from the country it is situated in. There is a group of students who plan to rise against those ‘teachers’ who control the camp, but they have not grown large enough to make problems yet. Will you join their hopes of freeing themselves? Will you simply try to get by? Where will you place yourself in this world of dividing sides and different opinions? And in the end, will you be forced to die, or can you show that these new ‘advanced’ humans are worth life?
