Addendum: this story is dead. For something similar but (I'd like to think) better, see my other story of the same name.

In a secure, undisclosed location, an underground compound houses humanity's first and last line of defense: the men and women of the fighter wing, ground squads, think tank, and engineering team. They are pledged to defend humanity against threats unknown. But they will come to know these threats, and they will fight back with all they have, because the only alternative is to die trying.

Metastory Notes: This will be based on a single playthrough; I (the author) will be writing solely in response to the events of the game. The characters, events, and techs will be based on what the Random Number God throws me and my gameplay responses. The interactions of the characters (on which I hope to focus) will, however, be solely my invention. I've only got about a week to work on this, so I hope to be updating relatively frequently. As always, I welcome comments and notes. Firaxis owns this game and IP.

The Carriers by JarrynPaige
30 parts Complete
Completed! #1 in government conspiracy as of 10/19/18 #6 in outbreak as of 10/10/18 #7 in corruption as of 8/12/18 #62 in apocalypse as of 8/7/18 #11 in government as of 8/9/18 The year is 2213. Everyone was evacuated from the home planet over 150 years ago. Our planet was dying, it was only a matter of time before our race was wiped out. We now live on a synthetic planet designed and built by our ancestors who came together from all parts of the globe to devise a plan to save us. We have lived peacefully for over a century.. Until now. Our lives were threatened when a mysterious and deadly virus broke out, killing entire communities at a time. The council says that they have a plan; they said that in order to prevent the death of more innocent people they will test every man, woman, and child for signs of the virus. Any person found to have been infected will be quarantined, the ones who die will be given a proper burial while the ones who survive are deemed carriers and are to be sent to the home planet to prevent further outbreak. I was prepared for the people I know and some I love being taken away for the greater good, but I never would have expected that among the list of people being taken from my community, that I would be one of them.. I survived the quarantine. Now for the survival of my planet I, and the other Carriers must be sent to the home planet. I'm going back to Earth. (This is not based on The 100 but there are similarities.) (Some violent themes, but other than that is entirely clean.) Please comment if you have any questions or concerns. This is a first draft so it is definitely not perfect yet.. Thank you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Where'd you learn to do that?" I asked about the intricate knots that he had tied so swiftly. He paused. "Jail." I glared at him in shock at what had just come out of his mouth. "Seriously?" His straight face broke into a grin. "No. Boy Scouts."
Murdersphere Mosaic [ManXMan] [BoyXBoy] by HankTCannon
38 parts Complete Mature
A nobody finds himself an unwilling participant in a sprawling entertainment enterprise where fantasy, science-fiction, romance, sex, and death are served up, remixed and re-served all in the name of keeping the mysterious alien Audience satisfied. 9/17/2014 _Murdersphere Mosaic_ has finished. Thank you all current and future readers for taking a look at my first Wattpad publication. Now, for a secret. _Murdersphere Mosaic_ is the rough-draft sequel to _Blue Collar Immortal_. It did not start that way, but once I got going, a lot of thing fell into place, namely that despite starting with the intention to do fanfiction, I did not commit to actually "living" in the milieus of the Marvel or even DC Universe. They became set pieces, prop-culture references and points of familiarity for the protagonist. I am turning _Murdersphere Mosaic_ into a first draft and I plan to re-develop set life on IC-CG1. I'm stripping out the Marvel and DC references, but it will definitely be recognizable as a super-science, comic book influenced environment. The idea is quite exciting. Because this turned into a sequel, I want all of you to have the whole story. So, I am going to serialize _Blue Collar Immortal_ on Wattpad, one chapter a week, starting Friday, September 19, 2014. If you do not want to wait, or you want a different format, I have dropped the price of _Blue Collar Immortal_ to $0.99 in the Kindle store. Also, because they peripherally touch on _Blue Collar Immortal_ and _Murdersphere Mosaic_, I have reduced the prices of _Theocrat_ and _Geistwolf_ to $0.99 as well. After serializing _Blue Collar Immortal_, barring a change in circumstance, the plan is to start serializing _Geistwolf_ on a chapter a week cycle and after that, _Theocrat_. Things may change. I promise to let you know if that happens. http://www.amazon.com/Hank-Cannon/e/B00APRPIOG Thank you all for reading.
