Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ampolitor" data-source="post: 3784926" data-attributes="member: 11758">change of plansThats the basic idea, with a few other ideas that I've been kicking around. I was also thinking of a comet that heads towards earth. The government tries to keep it under wraps until it gets close enough for the amateurs to see it, then it's out. A division of NASA and other country space programs agree to send up strategic missiles to break it up, to lessen the impact.This happens and only a few smaler pieces strike the earth, of course creating several mass casualty incidents, a few flooding incidents elsewhere (but not world changing big comets.)A microrganism is released, a virus that infects many in the area to include first responders who show some of the first symptoms. The disease spreads and begins to kill off the infected. Yadda, Yadda it spreads, gets worse and quarantine measures are enforced. It progreses to the point when the ACS is used. (Automated Combat System) to prevent any more people getting infected while dealing with the already infected. The disease still can't be stoped so the robots or ACU's begin to burn the infected on site. This causes panis so the government argues over these measures and decides to pull the plug.The key elements are rounded up and taken to safe zones where the areas are deemed sterile. A few even board shuttles to space stations and other colonies. Space travel by normal citizens is banned and a few are shot down to prevent the escape of the disease.The government against the advice of DHS, CDC, and the WHO attempt to shut it down. They send a force to take out the computer. A brief battle ensues as a few ACU's attempt to protect the mainframe. The ACS is hit with a missile strike and crippled, taken offline temporarily.In time the disease mutates and is no longer airborne or dangerous to living humans.The ACU's wander still killing infected, but see all humans as infected since they are all carriers.The disease mutates and the dead rise. The world as we know it collapses,governments fall, societies crumble, and chaos ensues.I plan on having my main characters start when the disease breaks and take it from there. I think this is a better scenario rather than the other one, what do you think?</blockquote>
