Core Narrative 1

The Resistance

The Australian prison camp opens when people in different regions begin attempting to escape to other regions to reunite with their loved ones, or flee to the ungoverned land of Chernobyl. If people are caught trying to escape from their assigned region, they are automatically sent to the prison camp. There are no borders separating people by strain of virus at the camp, so many people die upon arrival due to the cross-contamination of strains. At the camp, prisoners are assigned different tasks based on their capabilities. The tasks include: scientific research and experimentation to try and find a cure, manual labor to upkeep the land, kitchen duties, etc. One of the prisoners is a man named Eli, who was part of the group being tested at Alcatraz. Filled with rage from his past, he becomes the leader of the Resistance. As time passes, the prisoners begin to unite and develop a plan to break out of the prison and overthrow the World Government. They end up creating a large resistance, escape the prison, and overthrow the government. Their time spent cross-contaminated with one another at the prison makes them realize that there is a way to restore human life by grouping together people with closer strains, and working towards everyone being able to live amongst each other once again.
