info | taken | holds | rules/application immune | immunebroadcast | immuneooc In February 2008, a viral cure for cancer was discovered. Six short weeks after testing the vaccine on human patients, things started to go wrong. It was discovered too late that the virus had mutated without warning. Two months after the virus was discovered, it made the jump from direct physical contact to airborne transmission. The jump occurred before the government could catch it and Manhattan became ground zero for the biggest disaster to hit mankind, even outshining the Black Plague. Ninety-nine percent of the population was infected, 90% of all those coming into contact with the virus immediately bled out and died. The other nine percent, the Anomalies, reacted differently. The developed cannibalistic tendencies, extreme violence and aggression, and an inability to go out into the light. As more and more became infected and survived, they began feeding on the remaining one percent of the population, the small amount of those who were immune to either strand of the virus. Now, in the year 2012, the human race is almost extinct and only a sparse few remain. Based off the book/movie "I Am Legend". |
