Draco's Transmission
"Hello, Citizens. It is that time again for a fireside chat with me, Chairman Draco. It seems events have been quite grim. We have had deaths so ugly and unnecessary, one must wonder just what could be going on. Obviously some events are beyond our control. The senseless deaths of the Nomads comes to mind, though I am glad to know forces were at least able to respond. My heart goes out to those close to the fallen and injured. May those who can, make a swift recovery free of issues. Let us talk about the bigger issue. The Fishing Incident. I have proposed that the government place those trawlers under control of the Committee of Public Safety. Audacious, I know and perhaps I seem like a jackal picking at the dead. This is not the case. I am ENRAGED. Those deaths were STUPID. And the fault of a government that could not establish more firm handle on food production. Compeition? At this time? When food seems so tight? Instead of two fully manned fishing ships, what do we have? Dead bodies. Shameful and idiotic. The owners of the vessels are just as responsible, if not more so than the government, but all that spilled blood is still on their hands. I have no choice but to broadcast my request publicly, before the government tries to lie to you and say I'm trying to do something diabolical. The Committee of Public Safety is here for YOU. And that means bringing order when needed. We control bay access and docks. It is only sensible I request those ships to crew. The ship owners have PROVEN they do not have YOUR interests at heart. It is time for people with a concept of responsibility to take those ships and aid in keep ALL of the Safe Zone fed. Think on this, Citizens and lets your local officials know that Chairman Draco is looking out for you."
Mutant Info
they are exceedingly rare. it is assumed that they're more commonplace closer to where bombs fell -- OCBMs (O stands stands for Orbital
) targeted at NYC were neutralized by NORAD (or so Colonel Wells claims. It makes sense, seeing as how NYC would certaintly be a target, especially since their objective was destruction of the nation rather than the arms due to U.S. already having fired most of its nukes at China.) Of maybe 150-200 children in the Safe Area, you have only 11 mutant children. This makes the whole Amanda thing a bigger deal (it's late, I still need to read into that and write my head around it)
the life expectancy of mutant children is below twenty, but this is not in stone. At least one major system will usually be compromised in such a way as to terminally shorten one's life.
all sorts of mutations are possible, serving no clear purpose and there is no conceivable pattern. You've studied since you became invested in the mutation, and as far as you've been able to tell, and you've tried very hard, it affects a completely random part of the body. We could get pretty creative and write some pretty macabre stuff with this..
One constant, the ONLY constant, is that mutant children exhibit very mild hydrophobia. this is not immediately explainable. the only other recorded cause of human hydrophobia is untreated human rabies, however this is because the rabies virus lives in your saliva - and so to preserve itself the virus invokes hydrophobia to prevent you from removing the saliva. there is no logical explanation as to why the mutations would cause hydrophobia, though many assumptions could be made.
not all mutations are obvious. Some either effect internal organs, or the working of the body, mutating things in the brain or the circulatory system or what have you. such mutations could be very minor and not affect day to day life, but cause defects which will hamper the child later in life. some children are likely living normally with such mutations
I'll probably think of more
Rest of the World
note: EMP strikes coincided with the bombs, and all long range (~300mi) communications were cut instantly, resulting in your only knowledge of detonations around the country being the obvious aftermath in the world falling to shit and the acid rain that occurs once and again and the radiation sickness (no longer an issue, was a plague in the first year,) as well as you all feeling minor shockwave and windows shattering (400-550mi away from detonation. ) The blast came from the west, not that that's much help. You at least can reasonably assume the Eastern Seaboard, and much of the Midwest hasn't been nuked, nor has Quebec or Ontario. Not that it matters to your survival. Most of the immediate breakdown of society, at least in New York and likely all of the un-bombed areas, was due to the EMPs, people could no longer heat their homes keep their food cold store medicines powered equipment and machinery down etc. the nuclear fallout came a few days later when the winds had carried over a maelstrom of toxicity which resulted in what is popularly known as...idk.
We need a metal name for the radiation plague. "The Blight"?
Transportation
Roads are, for the most part, passable, fuel is still in abundance and it's future fuel so it won't rot out, but no EVs, but if you need to go a distance travelling by car is fine everyone's got cars. Most of the horses in the SA are owned by Isiah, gotta go thru him. Yes generators. There's a power station that one faction is working on with support of constabulary, shows promise but no dice so far. just chucking this stuff out cus it wasn't established earlier and don't wanna leave too much important
stuff up to implication
