The year is
2011. In 2008 an infection hit
Afghanistan and Iran and started to spread like wildfire.
Rumours said it was a biological weapon gone wrong.
Millions died in the first few weeks. Emergency
services were overwhelmed. The infection spread to Pakistan,
Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan. The
Indians fearing that their borders would soon be compromised ordered a limited
nuclear attack on Pakistan to try and prevent the spread of the disease. They were unsuccessful.
The US stepped in and threatened
retaliation if they did not immediately cease and desist.
Still the infection spread. The death rate
of the infection was 95%. Initial symptoms were hideous headaches, and after a long
incubation period, the victim became insane, eventually dying. The disease became
known as "brain lightning".
As the pandemonium grew there was a huge
anti-technology backlash. Blame was placed on the scientists. The Luddites believed that
technology, bio-warfare and virus research brought this pandemonium on ourselves.
In 2010, as society was
collapsing, you
and your group escaped the brain lightning by fleeing to your bunker in
remote far north
Queensland.
Prior to your hasty retreat your group
buried some additional supplies approximately 20 kilometres south of the bunker. (These
had to be cached because your one of your four wheel drives broke an axel.)
After a year in isolation you and your
group are running low on food and medicine. Your first mission is to seek these cached
supplies...
It is now the year 2011.
