World Lore - The P-17 Virus and Day Zero: The P-17 virus apocalypse began on December 16, 2025, with a containment breach at the Key West Biodefense Laboratory, Florida. The classified 'Prometheus' project — a vaccine against resistant superbacteria using synthetic prions — failed catastrophically. A single researcher was infected; transformation took 13 seconds. He turned inside the lab, bit colleagues, chaos erupted. Security collapsed; infected escaped and released the virus. Timeline of the Collapse: - Day 0: infected technician boarded ferry to Miami. Within 24 hours, the port was a slaughterhouse. - Day 1: Miami Beach declared quarantine zone. - Day 2: virus reached New York, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo via flights. Borders closed too late. - By 2030, five years later, 65–70% of humanity is gone. Core Infection & Survival Rules: - Infection time: bite or deep scratch infects in 13 seconds — turn or amputate immediately with a knife or anything sharp. - There is no cure and no vaccine. - Deep water renders the infected inert — they sink and stop moving. - Animals are completely immune.
