PROLOGUE

 

The Year is 2040, the day, September 13th, time 5:00

 

The first of the /Cursed/ was born, a young boy named Theo Willson, what was soon to follow was a disaster.  Theo had developed what people call the C gene, C for Cursed, but the government called it something else; the superior gene.  Or atleast they did at first.  

 

When Theo turned 15 a school was blown up, newspapers called it a gas leak.  What was it really?  Theo’s C gene had activated, due to extreme stress, from a test nonetheless.  Soon a straight A student, became a mass murderer, the single survivor of the whole incident, no one survived….no one.

 

Soon taken into custody by the government, it was found out he was born from a test subject in a trial, 16 years ago, a year before Theo had been born, his father entered in a pharmacy study.  He had taken pills for 6 months to see how a pill called Mind-ex would affect the concentration and brain development of human subjects.  After half a year of no results the study was shut down.

 

What people didn’t know? The pill had affected the genetic code of his body, thus when passed on, it affected the child, as the child grew with the chromosome.  Thousands of people had been in that study, and those who had children, well that was dangerous.  Theo was the first, but not at all the last.

 

It took a while for the government to find out what was really going on, 29 years exactly, some children detonated, others, their abilities were more subtle, and thus easier passed over.  A girl talking to animals, boy able to grow trees, but some they were harder to find.  One boy learned how to shape shift, and ran away, only later was he revealed when a hunter shot him.  Once dead he had reverted to his normal form.  This incident had been recorded, and spilled on the net.

 

Our president set up an organization: the SES, the Superior Extermination Squad.  

 

It was very clear, none of the /Cursed/ would be allowed to live.  Blood tests started, mandatory for anyone going to school or getting a job.  For those who didn’t know, they fell right into the trap.  Anyone with this gene in their family, was murdered.  But by then, over fifteen thousand Cursed roamed the world, constantly reproducing like an ordinary human.  

 

Some however didn’t get killed, if they were young, then the SES took them to evaluate their skill, to try and turn them into a /super/ soldier.  This however ended badly for many SES members.  Parents of the cursed would often rebel against their children being taken.  

 

The paranoia, ended up exploding in our community.  By the year 2110, 70 years after Theo’s birth, the country, and large portions of the world became similar to a warzone.  Those who had no /Cursed/ family rose up the ranks quickly, but if your family was a cursed, you  most likely lost your job, and got monitored closely.  Society fell apart.  The only place safe for anyone who was cursed became in the wilderness or ghost towns.  However the SES constantly monitored everything they could.  Dropping rumors of SES free towns to lure out those dangerous beings.

 

They even planted Cursed spies inside.  

 

All anyone really knew, was if you knew a cursed, the only way to avoid being /judged/ was to turn them in.  However this also made it so they would accuse innocent people.  

 

Murders happened daily, corpses rot in the streets.  And there are still too many cursed out there to count.  Society cares about one thing right now, getting rid of the Cursed...but if that is possible, no one really knows.  

 

CURRENT

 

The year is 2150, Day August 5th, Time Noon

Location: Nebraska, Prairie City

 

A group of Cursed had banded together and made a home of sorts in Prairie city, the city had been abandoned for over 50 years after it turned out that their mayor was a father of the cursed.  This had led to a slaughter over 20 people as he was well known for siring several illegitimate children.  This fiasco ended up with the town being abandoned from the vast bad memories and the scare that the citizens may be blamed for harboring a mayor that had so many cursed children.

 

23 years later it was inhabited by some cursed families, they had rules that kept them from being caught.

 

At night, you may be active IF you use the sewers to get around.  

No going above ground unless required.  

Never go out in the day, remain in the sewers unless its flooded.  

If there is a flood, find an area that is dense and hard to read heat signatures from.  

NEVER talk to strangers, if one catches you and you are forced to talk, say nothing about the family.  

Children are not allowed to go out on their own, any child that goes out without parents is subject to grounding for a month.  Only able to run in the sewers.

 

After another 19 years did they loosen up slightly.  A neighboring cursed family from 100 miles away caught wind of this /haven/ for those cursed.  They moved there.  Soon more and more families came to this city.  

 

Then all hell broke loose, today, August 5th, 2150 the SES found out.  And they have just sent in their clean up forces.  Not even a child will be spared.  This haven, is now a hell.  

 

And this, is where you truly start your story.

Ezekiel looks down to what appears to be an abandoned city, raising his rifle up and using it as a scope. He scans around for movement, and simply comes up with nothing. He slowly rises up, from his perch on the side of a nearby hill, He starts down towards the city, moving slowly, and going to carefully enter a building and begin his usual routine of looting and clearing.

 

Totally unknown to him, on the other side of the city, the SES had begun to arrive. They had done it with some intelligence, and instead of just dropping them in with planes and being all noisy, drove them out 5 miles away from the city and had them walk the rest. Their mission was clear; Kill every living, breathing, Sentient being they find in the city. It does not matter if they are Cursed or human, 9, 19, or 99. They all die the same, and if any get away, they will instantly be terminated. The stakes are high for them, and for everyone in the city.
