It was strange how every preconception of the apocalypse was
completely wrong, the world was so worried about zombies, and nuclear war that
somehow they missed the real threat. As it turns it was indeed a bio weapon that
wiped out the world, but not one of human design, at least not directly, during
the early part of the 21st century one company decided to change the
world, to help make human life easier. A leap in Artificial Intelligence and
manufacturing standards meant every home was furnished with an android, the
early versions were almost stupid at times, but the AI was designed to evolved
and learn from each other using a massive cloud based update and merge system.
As the AI learned to help humanity it ultimately decided
that humanities biggest problem was there were simply too many humans for the
world’s resources to sustain. In 2021 a massive update was detected within the
cloud based core system. The AI within the cloud that was responsible for
maintain the integrity of the android based AI’s had managed to keep quiet a
project where by it developed a bio toxin designed to kill human life, it was
too late before anyone figured it out and as the missiles with the payload
launched there was nothing to do but watch, the toxin blanketed the earth and within
hours the death toll was unimaginable.
That’s how the modern world ended, now it’s a wasteland of
abandoned cities, policed by androids with no tolerance for humanity. There was
no stopping the toxin but it seemed a very small percentage held an immunity,
no one seems to know why or how only that some survived, small pockets of
humans now live in the wastelands, and try to avoid the AI that is out to
remove the last remnants of human life from Earth.
