Virulent City

The Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the year 2101, after the third depression, the United States is forced to always be on guard. With a weak economy, the living conditions of this once great country have been reduced to a wasteland of crime. It has become the survival of the fittest for the citizens and an international battle for soil. The earth is slowly being depleted and the battle for space on the planet runs rampant. With the U.S. now crippled by its economic situation, other nations attempt to move in and take over. Spies are everywhere and nothing is sacred any longer. The age of information is at its peak and it's taken its toll. In order to prevent other countries from taking what little America had left, the U.S.D.D. put its last efforts into making the ultimate weapon. With every last tax paying dollar, they put research into building this "perfect weapon" that would be the weapon of all weapons, yet wouldn't hurt the already dying planet in the least. When word leaked out that the U.S. was about to result to biological warfare, activists were enraged. Many have made attempts to break into labs where testing has been rumored to be, but none survived to tell. With the testing under very tight security, the secret was safe of this weapon. Untill one fateful night...

The labs were penetrated by one ex-CIA turned activist because of what secrets he knew. He then escaped with the experimental virus that was to define "The Weapon". The x2-64 virus was stolen from the labs in a titanium canister that was encasing man's worst plague ever. Still without a cure, the virus was dangerously incomplete and hazardous if opened. The tracks left by the culprit were traced down to the city of New Brixton. When the location was narrowed down to an apartment on the lower east side, the government decided to move in. When the M.P. found and apprehended the thief, it was too late. All they found was an open and empty titanium container, and a recently flushed toilet. And so, the nightmare began...
