The Story:

Let me tell you the History of our civilization before there’s no one left to tell it. At our greatest achievement there were over seven billion people on earth. We covered a wide range terrain categorized ourselves by race, age, religion. This was a calling to pit us against each other. What caused our disposition was war. It was a war that was caused by a mysterious disease that raved country after country. Blame was tossed around to almost everyone. Soon lines and allegiances were drawn. The rash of the war spread nearly as fast as the mysterious disease. Soon our earth was scarred with the sorrow and destruction of war. Soon allegiances were forgotten people were now fighting to stay alive. The world leaders thought they found a cure and injected those with the disease they could catch but it only accelerated the virus. Most harboring the virus lived a short but ruthless life. While others managed to survive but they were left with a savage life. It was almost as if they had rabies they would attack other people and pass on the disease that way. They went senile lost all cognitive capabilities. Their brain mass shrank dramatically cells were eaten by the disease until only the basic of brain functions were left. There were a select few of the human race that was immune to the disease. The scientist did some testing on those who were immune they had a genetic mutation that made them immune to the virus but this mutation could not be replicated and duplicated in those who did not have the mutation. The only hope for the human race is that this mutation gets passed onto the next generation. It has happened in the past but that was a different disease a plague that devastated most of Europe the survivors were immune to the plagues effects, eventually the plague passed, those who survived the plague eventually recovered from its devastating effects. One can only hope that our current scenario will have the same results.

Those who were immune to the disease sought refuge from the scarred and diseased surface of the earth buy tunnelling underground. A select few stay above ground in complexes growing food for those in the underground. This is where our history is now. The race of humanity now has an estimated population of two billion people of that about forty percent are suffering from the disease. The spread has appeared to start slowing down whit less new cases of it being found. It would appear that those in the underground are safe from this disease for now. I have tested a few of the children born in the caves. Most of them are born with this mutation there are a few who are still acceptable to this disease but thus far are safe from contamination in their current locations as the undergrounds have turned more into underground fortresses that are capable of keeping the diseased out.


Those were the field notes of Professor Ann McArthur. Those were the observations that she made over a hundred years ago. Nothing much has changed, we still live underground our numbers haven’t increased much our population would grow a little but every now and then our colonies would get attacked by those harboring the disease. Those carrying the disease have changed rapidly. Those that survived managed to reproduce some young were not infected but were quickly killed. Others had young who were infected. This next generation rarely grew past the age of thirty but the disease changes with every generation. The early symptoms still remain the same it looks like they are rabid but they have gotten smarter the disease has started to eat less brain matter they are getting smarter and attacking us. They are unusually strong. They are still not as smart as the average human being, but their mental capacities are about that of a pre teen then a child now they are starting to understand basic concepts but still cannot quite piece the full puzzle together. The infected ones that have managed to attack the undergrounds were smart they appeared to be normal have the basic use of speech and vocabulary they would come asking for shelter but once in they would be killed. Now if someone comes to our undergrounds we do not let them in right away. We hold them in quarantine for a few months till test can confirm that they are not carries of the disease.

Setting and Basic info:

Earth Surface: Earth as we know it today does not exist. Instead the earth is now scarred by war. Nuclear war heads had been deployed and destroyed major cities in all continents. An after effect of nuclear war is that the climate of earth drastically changed. It is dismal covered with thick cloud cover. Light still reaches the surface every once in a while but it is a hazy sunlight that reaches the surface. Some water is very dangerous to drink as it may have been contaminated with nuclear radiation. Average temperature itself is very cool during the summers an average high in colonies is about 80 where your average winter low is a very cold sub zero temperature. The ice caps are growing, most plant life that existed before exist still, animals for the most part remained un-harmed and population of endangered species are starting to grow as there is little human interference. They still tend to avoid places where humans once occupied.

The Undergrounds: The undergrounds are basically a series of connecting high security bomb bunkers that were drilled out when the disease was found to be incurable. They are constructed either out of concrete or high endurance steal that can withstand bomb blast and earthquakes. The undergrounds have grown from their small and humble shelters to become fully functional colonies. They have clean water, facilities, homes and shelter for those not affected by the disease. Some colonies have grown so much that they have expanded deeper into the earth surface. (Kind of like Egypt’s Valley of the Kings) There are hundreds of colonies in a single area and for survival purposes they have created passages to join with each other for the common good of its occupants. These undergrounds can be found all over the world.


Non infected Humans: we are just that Human we act think and have the same physical strength as people in real life do. We do not have any super powers or a higher then normal IQ.


Infected Humans: Have a slightly lesser IQ although some have an average IQ level. They have but on instinct that is to survive and watch out for ones own self. They are ruled by the need to survive and if that means entering into the camps of the “Others” and killing them to eat and get what they need for basic supplies then so be it. They are physically stronger then the average human but not by much a Humans might still be able to physically over power them. They are able to reproduce and have young and they are known to have the capability of taking care of their young if they choose to do so.

Name: Kielo Pyry
Age: 17
Age Appears to Be: 17
Race: Non-Infected Human
Occupation: Volunteer at an orphanage/student
Physical Description: Kielo has long (mid-back) blonde hair that she usually keeps pulled back in a tight bun. She has emerald green eyes that always seem to sparkle. She is very tall for her age (6'0") which makes her sometimes look awkward, as she dwarfs most of her friends. She tends to dress in plain clothes (nothing brightly coloured or that shows off her figure).
Personality: Kielo is quiet and studious. She tends to keep to herself, even when around those closest to her. She is also very self-conscious about her looks (her height especially) and feels awkward around new people as a result. However, she is very loyal and defensive when it comes to her parents and friends.
Background: Kielo was born to two scholars who specialized in ancient history and ancient languages. When she was no more than ten, her parents left the Underground for the surface in hopes of gathering more knowledge of the Earth and it's past civilizations for future generations in hopes that the Earth's surface would one day be re-inhabited. As a result, Kielo spent the next few years living in the orphanage that she now volunteers at. Much like her parents, Kielo is very interested in her studies but has no real aspiration to follow in their footsteps.

Lucien was waiting out side of the mlilitary college recruitment office. He was pacening anxiously back and forth. His father, Major-General Matthias, had arranged for him. His father wanted him to join to receive his military training as well as an military education.

“Licuen Matthias,” The secretary of the general said.
Lucien looked her way.

You may come in now the general is ready to see you.” She said as she opened the door wider and waited for him to enter.

Once in the secretary told him to have a seat and await the general. Lucien sat down at the desk after the secretary closed left and closed the door behind her. Lucien looked around at the medals and pictures on the walls. This was not something that he wanted to do but he didn’t know what else to do he never though of what he would become of him after graduating from High school. Suddenlt the door to his left opened. Lucien stood up at attention as the general entered the room.

take a seat young man.” The Gernal said to him. “So your father wanted me to talk to you about further education in the Military. He’s a good man and a good officer your father is. I can see it in you that you will be a great officer as well.”

Thank you sir.” Lucien said.

now what is it that you would like to do here? You can continue your education in the college or be sent to active combat training and receive your education in the off time. Both ways require a five year commitment. So what interest you son?" The Genera asked.

“I’m not sure sir. I…I I’d prefer some time off to think over my options within the military and civilian life. Sir.”
“ahh Mr. Matthias. It’s in your blood. You need to be with us. Your one of the smartest young men there is in our private high schools. I would be a shame to waist such a great mind. How about this we can give you active duty with educational classes in engineering and communications in the field. Those subjects you did exceedingly well in. I would do you good to stay with them.” Th General told Lucien.

Thank you sir but” “but what come on boy you’re good we can use someone as good as you are plus after the five years if you want I’ll let you return to civilian life.” The General slid the recruitment papers across the table for Lucien to sign.

Lucien looked at the papers inhaled and held his breath for a second. He didn’t know what else to do with no plans. He couldn’t tell his father that he didn’t want to join the military and have no back up. Lucien silently reached for a pen and signed the recruitment papers.

“That’s a boy son, welcome to the Military forces. Private Matthias you will receive word of where you are to report for training from the secertary.” The Genera said as he rose to walk out of the office with his arm draped over Lucien shoulder. “Your father will be proud of you boy
.” He said as he brought him out to the hall and left him there to talk with his secretary.

Hello Officer Matthias,” the secretary said to him. “Here’s your order form for your uniform please select your size. I’ll also need your information to update your files.” Once Lucien was done ordering his gear and provided his information to the woman she passed him a note. “you are to report to Colonel Fischer within the hour. He will tell you where to go for training.” “thank you mam.” Lucien said and left the office,

While Lucien was waiting to see where his life would take him, Kielo was out picking some flowers to bring to the orphanage she volunteered at. School had ended early for her and while most of her peers went out to have fun she set straight to work. Being something of an orphan herself, Kielo made the young children she visited and played with her first priority in life. They were like family to her by that point, which made them all feel good.

"Private no-name extra Jones! You left yourself open! If he had been an infected, you would be now as well."

Colonel Kieran Fischer stepped onto the mat and gestured for Jones to attack him as his sparing partner had. Unlike Jones, Fischer grabbed his wrist effortlessly, and spun the Private around. He kicked his legs out from under him and sent him face first into the mat. "That's how it's done. Any questions?"

"No, sir."

"Then get back to it, Private."

Fischer left the mat and continued to circle the room and observe the recruits. They would all eventually fight the infected, and he could already see which men would not be returning.
