Cyber Plague

It began as a medical miracle — nanotech injections meant to cure disease, regrow tissue, and extend human life. For a while, it worked. But then the updates came. Glitches. Malfunctions. Patients reported hearing static in their heads, seeing code in their dreams, moving in jerky, unnatural ways. The Cyber Plague spread faster than any virus, infecting both flesh and machine. Entire populations became hybrids of meat and circuitry, their skin laced with glowing veins of corrupted data. Some transformed into mindless drones, their bodies hijacked by an unseen network. Others retained fragments of humanity but spoke in distorted, glitching voices, half-human, half-machine. Cities are now zones of infection, where skyscrapers drip with metal growths and streets crawl with twisted cybernetic husks. Clean zones are heavily fortified, ruled by corporations claiming to “contain” the plague — but rumors say they’re experimenting with it, hoping to weaponize the infection. Every day, the line between human and machine blurs further. And at the center of the chaos lies the Source Code, a digital hive-mind whispering promises of perfection through unity. To resist the plague is to fight for your humanity. To embrace it is to join something far greater… and far more terrifying.
