The Cold War never ended. At
least, it hadn't 4 months ago....
On
August 3, the world went to Hell in a hand basket. In an incredible effort, a
Chechen terrorist group was able to seize control of the Rostov Nuclear Power
Plant in the Southern USSR. There, under the guise of nuclear power, the USSR
had been able to covertly add to their nuclear weapon stock piles and silos. On
the next day, the Chechen leader issued an internet video ordering the USSR to
release the 308 prisoners that have been associated with the terrorist group or
their nuclear weapons would be turned against them. On August 9, the six secret
silos attached to Rostov launched.
With
no time to act, the first missile to reach its target hit Moscow. Another war
head hit Rome. A third lands in the outskirts of Paris. A Fourth is destroyed
above Israel. A Fifth was aimed at DC, but was diverted off course by the US
Star Wars project. This war head landed in Frederick, the location of the
United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases
(USAMRIID).
The
following volley of WMDs between different countries lasted for the next 48
hours. Tehran, Seattle, London, Kyiv, Tokyo, Beijing, these are just some of
the cities that have become stories. It's argued though, that ensuing massive
panic caused more damage across the world than the 26 nuclear war heads. But
that was only during the first week after August 9, known as Rostov Day.
A
week after Rostov Day, reports flared up that in the American North East,
thousands of people were becoming violently ill, and eventually succumbing to
the sickness. This was soon linked to N6 which struck near USAMRIID, and was
learned that some sort of super bug was released. Not only did this make you
violently ill, it also presented similar symptoms to radiation sickness. The
mortality rate was an astonishing 96%. The bug, nicknamed Rad Pox, spread like
wild fire. 9 Days post Rostov Day, cases were reported on the American West
coast. 16 days and the first confirmed case was found in Europe. Four months
after Rostov Day, nearly 6.3 billion people died, including 98% of India.
Quarantines and strong holds were set up to help survivors, but these were
quickly over run by desperate people using desperate measures.
Those
who survived were either isolated from the rest of the world, extremely rich,
or extremely lucky.
Unfortunately, I'm only the
first one.
