death plague plane tragedy

Day 1. The pilot is approaching the landing site, deafened by the coughing sounds echoing from the back of the plane. During the 12 hours flight, the plague made its way and the smell of death slowly starts to populate the stagnant air of the metal bird. Something must be done, David knows it. There is just no way his plane will be the plague's entrance door to the continent. Crash it? He is already too close to the ground. Is he really thinking about that right now? Crashing the plane would simply be inhuman ... but leaking the plane and killing humankind would also be ... What should he do, WHAT SHOULD HE DO! Land the plane, cut the power and break the manual opening mechanism of the doors ... Yes, that's the solution to save the world. As David elaborates his plan, distant voices mix with his train of thoughts

100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)
