The year is 2015.
The world is falling into chaos.
On December 29th, 2012, after the end of the world scare had passed, a government announcement interrupted all of the country's major broadcasts. At 8:27 pm, the president and a group of men and women (who were shortly found out to be government-employed scientists) told the entire United States of America that after years of laborious research and painstaking research, the U.S. government had developed a cure-all. It would end and prevent all diseases, infections, chronic health problems- you name it. If it was medical, it was fixed.
It had gone through months of rigorous and successful testing, and was to be released to the general American population by the end of January, and to the rest of the world a month after.
People around the country mobbed their hospitals, doctors' offices, schools- anywhere that was supplying the nation with the combination shot-and-pill cure and vaccination had mile-long lines. People waited for hours for this drug that worked miracles. That could cure even cancer.
After over two and a half years without so much as a single outburst of the common cold, all the country's hospitals have fallen into disuse and disrepair.
And strange things are happening.
People are disappearing off the streets. Strange lights and noises can be seen and heard from the abandoned hospitals, striking ghost stories into being.
But the truth is far more sinister than lost souls,
Test subjects and vaccinated citizens alike are falling prey to unforeseen side effects of The Cure.
o In curing the body, somehow, The Cure opened up previously inaccessible parts of the human brain, causing, in some people abilities that should be impossible.
Heightened senses. Super-strength. Super-speed. Telekinesis. Teleportation. Invisibility. Time manipulation. Seeing sound. Seeing electric waves. Pyrokinesis. Reading and manipulating minds.
Barely a third of the list of discovered abilities, and it sounds more like something from a comic book.
But it's happening.
And scientists are doing everything in their power to get their hands on The Gifted. No matter what that entails.
The general populace is in the dark, but who knows how long that can last?
Choose your side.
Choose your destiny.
