The Mission
After a minute, Xeno felt the platform stop. It was really dark in the area. A few people were murmuring amongst themselves.
Suddenly the lights came on and they were all revealed a giant, white room filled with buttons, maps, levers, and windows!
"This, Graduates," the president explained, "is the Plague, Inc. Command Center. It's where we research planets across the universe to learn of their lives and how we can stop them with plagues."
He then pointed to the maps on the wall.
"As of now, we've eradicated many planets across the Milky Way Galaxy. The most recent ones include planets known as Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars."
He then pressed a button and a screen revealed a planet unlike anything Xeno had ever seen before. It was mainly blue, but had large masses of green and brown land, with large coats of white surrounding it all.
"This planet," The president told everyone, "is known as Earth. It is the most advanced planet we have ever encountered in all of history."
Zorp raised his hand.
"Yes?" The president asked him.
"What makes it so advanced?"
"I was just getting to that."
Zorp lowered his hand. He almost looked embarrassed.
"Earth is so advanced because they have more medicine and technology than we've ever seen in any of these other planets," the president continued. "And they seem to have no signs of stopping or even slowing down!
"How long have we been researching Earth?" Another Graduate asked.
"For about 11,997 years," the president answered. "However, in Earth years, it would be about 6,000,000,000! We believe this was around the time of the planet's creation. But, we're not focused on its beginning; only its end!"
"So how do we create a plague there?" Another Graduate asked.
"We managed to learn of all possible pathogens currently living on Earth," the president replied. "The biggest ones are bacterias and viruses."
"Sounds simple enough," yet another Graduate commented.
"Well, as I said, Earth has more advanced medicine and technology. They could easily destroy the pathogen if we're not careful."
"So what do we do?"
"We plan every possible outcome of every possible option. That's where you all come in. You are all the smartest minds I've ever seen in a very long time. Hopefully you can find a way to create Earth's ultimate plague."
"Ultimate?"
"Earth had experienced many plagues in its existence. But they all managed to be stopped. As a matter of fact, they currently have a virus they are calling 'Ebola' spreading around the world as we speak!"
"How is it handling?"
"It's caused a good amount of deaths, but not enough to be a full epidemic."
"So what do you suggest?"
"We have to make a pathogen that is easier to spread and we need to make it more lethal!"
"Do we have any plans?"
"We've narrowed it to a bacteria and virus. Both have advantages, as well as disadvantages. They need to be strategically evolved to end all life on Earth."
"When do we start?"
"As soon as we can all agree on a plan, which you will all be assigned to do right now! There are work benches, maps, and other important pieces of information all over the Command Center. Have at it!"
Everyone then jumped off the platform to look at everything they'd need. Xeno was so excited! He hoped he could make the best plague of them all!
