Two months ago catastrophe struck San Luis Obispo County, California. The Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant experienced the worst meltdown in history. More puzzling than the cause of the meltdown was the aftermath. Most feared physical deformation and mental retardation, but the virus that quickly spread across the nation was most peculiar. What exactly was going on inside the plant? Some speculated governmental nuclear testing. And what happened to the so-called survivors from within? Rumours of this only died out when the affects of the virus began to show.
While some experienced flu-like symptoms and returned to normal, others had mild to severe brain defects. Still, the worst was yet to come: the psychokinetic effects. Some call the affected superhuman, others call them monsters… but one thing is for sure: general fear has driven these affected humans into hiding.
But there is a refuge. In the remote parts of North Eastern Canada, there is said to have been a school created to harness, and perhaps even cure the effects of the disease. Some have gone looking for it, others have been forced into the journey… either way, they find you. Waking up from what you soon learn is called “the blackout,” you are greeted by Elemental and Noir, your new mentors. The school, Safe Haven, is filled with rumours about who the two are, and why they seem so skilled with these psychokinetic abilities. It is no wonder that the rest of The Exposed are more powerful than The Affected, but the mentors seem to know more. Why is it that they know how to improve the skills bestowed upon them all? And what are these so-called Experiments?
But having found the only place of acceptance, few seem antsy to leave… then again, the desolate surroundings can be a little nerve-wracking. At least there is the ice-cold bay nearby. If only someone knew where they were.
