This virus, named CLULESS, is equipped with an incredibly complex programming code, but it doesn’t seems to be causing any sort of malfunction.+2) At 2:50 P.M. of November 5, a space-time anomaly opens at the WPI campus, its exact center located at the basement of the ‘Wedge’ dormitory. Inmediately after that, the anomaly grows to cover all of the campus in its radius. All communications to and from the campus are lost.+3) The Worcester anomaly continues to grow, covering the entire city in its mantle. Like the campus, all communications are lost. Computer specialists from the Pentagon begin to analize the virus.+4) A detailed analysis of the virus’ programming unveils that the virus is a multi-facetic A.I. (Artificial Intelligence), with a complexity never reached before. The fact that is made on a code that looks like ASCII is an apparent facade.+5) The Worcester anomaly keeps growing, and by 3: 45 P.M. it covers the entire middle section of the Massachusetts state. At the same time in the surrounding states, reports of strange appearances are given to the authorities. This reports are few and far between, but seem to grow at a rapid pace.+6) The people that analyze the reports notice a strange fact: many of the people, objects and beings described in the reports are exact look-alikes to people, objects and beings from works of fiction.+7) By 5:55 P. M., the reports of appearances are coming from all over the world. Most of these reports come from many major cities. The United States Army movilizes several teams to Worcester to stop this possible threat.+8) At 7:35 P.M., dozens of miniature anomalies like the one at Worcester open up around the world, at the infected areas. The Worcester teams report being under attack.+9) At 7:40 P.M., all contact is lost with the teams movilized to Worcester. At the same time time, a world-wide state of emergency is declared. Riots happen all over the world.+10) At 7: 45 P.M., all the anomalies expand, and 9 of 10 people located at the infected areas dissappear without a trace.+11) At 9:45 P.M., a pack of dragons take over the Florida Keys, making them part of their hunting territory. This section will later be renamed ‘Dragon Highway’, and will be declared off-limits until the dragon threat is eliminated.+12) 11:00. The remaining military forces send several assault teams to Worcester, Washington D.C., Tokyo and the American SouthWest. The Worcester and Washington teams lost contact almost inmediately after entering city limits. The Tokyo teams suffers heavy losses to several Anime characters, but manage to recapture half of the city. The other teams manage to secure several cities, but their attempts to recapture the city of Phoenix, Arizona are stopped by a bunch of people calling themselves ‘Blitz Force’.+13) 12:45. By motives of the emergency and its ensuing chaos, the use of excessive force for self-defense is accepted. The few people who manage to hear the statement loot their local military armories.+14) 3:00 A.M. Topeka, Kansas, is destroyed by a nuclear missile fired from a local silo. It is later discovered that an alternate version of Skynet hacked into the computers.+15) 9:35 A.M. What remains of the governments declare the affected cities ‘danger zones’, to be entered under your own risk of not coming back out. On some of the most dangerous ones (Los Angeles, Denver, Tokyo, New York, Miami, Orlando, London, Berlin, Brasil, Moscow, Singapur, Sydney), civilian militias, and whatever can be spared of the local military are under strict orders of shooting to kill any hostile attempts to leave or enter.+15) 12:00:50 P.M., November 6. The people who disappeared comes back, apparently unharmed.</blockquote>
