EARTH 3000
AnnotationAfter a bio-genetic catastrophe that broke out hundreds of years ago, which led to the irreversible mutation of 99% of all terrestrial organisms on our planet, the remnants of uninfected humanity took refuge in an oil-producing colony on Mars. On the ruins of abandoned cities, from now on, new life forms rule, capable of existing in the ferocious conditions of a changed world, and which do not intend to allow the former owners of the planet to regain it. But humanity will never surrender without a fight: among the tropical forests that have sheltered what remains of the former greatness of civilization, there is a network of resource-extracting bases, well-fortified structures, whose personnel are engaged in the extraction of vital resources for Mars and the scientific study of the mysteries of the New World full of dangers.
A special unit of the Praetorian Guard "Black Triangle", whose task is to find some lost technology, information about which was found in the secret archives of the Senate, the supreme governing body of the new totalitarian human order, is on one of these bases with a top-secret mission. The coordinates of the desired place, as well as access codes, are stored in the memory of a person who lived during the catastrophe on Earth. Having spent hundreds of years in suspended animation, deprived of the main part of the memory of who he is, turned into an ideal machine for performing extreme tasks of any complexity, this man is ready to fulfill any task assigned to him by the Senate. But what if this ideal soldier suddenly regains his OLD personality?
EARTH 3000: species classification
Name: Praetorian Guard, an elite special-purpose group “Black Triangleâ€
Height: 1.8 - 1.9 meters
Species: humans
Class: genetically modified
Mental abilities: no
Intelligence: reasonable
Radiation resistance: no
Danger level: very high
Even before the global catastrophe, "Black Triangle" was a special operations combat group, subordinate to the service of its own security corporation "InterMars". And if the task of the main staff of the Internal Security Service included the protection of the top officials and top secret developments of the corporation, then the range of tasks of the "Black Triangle" was much wider. The fighters of the "Black Triangle" performed dirty work associated with all kinds of blackmail, espionage, sabotage, as well as the physical elimination of competitors and witnesses that could harm the corporation.
After the disaster caused by the out-of-control CHIMERA virus, and the migration of an uninfected part of humanity to Mars, the Black Triangle soldiers became part of the Praetorian Guard, as an elite special forces group.
EARTH 3000: classification of species
Name: Morlum
(basement)
Size: 1-3 meters
Species: predators
Class: aqua hybrid
Mental abilities: high
Intelligence: semi-intelligent
Resistance to radiation: no
Degree of danger: medium
If near a dark hole leading into the bowels of half-submerged catacombs or other an underground object of a dead civilization, a person suddenly felt an obsessive desire to rush into darkness, with a high degree of probability he was subjected to a mental attack by a creature called morlum, or a "cellar". These slug-like mutants live exclusively in abandoned buildings located below the surface of the earth, in which there is a sufficient amount of moisture and where light can hardly penetrate. These creatures
lead a sedentary lifestyle, sticking to any surface, where they patiently wait for their victim. Due to the fact that their mobility is extremely limited, Morlums use telepathic skills that allow them to influence the victim's brain, causing that desire to get closer. Further, tenacious tentacle fingers with poisonous glands come into play, capable of causing paralysis even in fairly large individuals of the fauna of the new world. Morlum rarely kills his victim immediately. As a rule, he eats it up in parts while still alive, injecting a special anesthetic into the wounds of soybeans, which contributes to the fact that it does not immediately die from painful shock or blood loss. Small individuals can take control of no more than one person, while large ones - three or even four, however, for large detachments, these creatures do not pose a real threat. since they never stray into groups preferring a hermit way of existence. However, despite this, the scientific committee has reason to believe that these creatures maintain telepathic communication with each other, sharing information and experience about new threats. The basis for such conclusions was the fact that after two officially recorded attempts by the Morlums to attack a large armed detachment, as a result of which the creatures were destroyed, the rest of the individuals did not make more such attempts. Unfortunately, the reasons for such strong mental abilities at the moment are not known, since until now only dead specimens of these mutants fell at the disposal of the commission. It was also found that the record size morlum lived in the semi-collapsed bunker of the pharmaceutical company “AMREGOâ€, on the territory of which, even before the disaster, experiments were carried out to create a superman. The capsule mentioned in the documents, inside which the female “prototype-12†was supposed to be, was empty. Whether the disappearance of the "prototype" was the work of the "cellar" is still unknown.
EARTH 3000: Classification of
name: male rahnidomorfa
Sizes: 7-15 meters
View: arachnoiditis
Class: Predators
Mental ability: No
Intelligence: semi-intelligent
Resistance to radiation: Medium
Severity: Highest
These top predators are very dependent on moisture, and therefore are found primarily in the tropical belt.
They do not like to appear in open spaces, preferring to wait for their victims among the foggy swamps of swampy forests, or in the gloomy tunnels of half-flooded underground communications such as the subway.
Despite the fact that rachnidomorph is not poisonous, this fact will hardly help a victim caught in its sharp mandibles. They do not stray into flocks, it is practically impossible to meet two rachnidomorphs in the same territory. It does not have a pronounced period of activity, it can attack both during the day and at night, since it has thermal vision.
EARTH 3000: classification of species
Name: Uruses (emphasis on the first letter)
Dimensions: 2.5 - 3 meters
Species: necrohybrids
Class: gregarious predators
Mental abilities: no
Intelligence: unreasonable
Resistance to radiation: no
Degree of danger: very high
Uruses are large and fast creatures with developed muscles, but extremely primitive intellect, and a low level of self-preservation instinct. There are numerous cases of attempts by these creatures to attack well-fortified resource-producing facilities. The genome of Uruses is currently not fully understood, but it is already known that the cells of these monsters function according to completely different principles than the cells of most mutants inhabiting the planet. The extremely low metabolism of these creatures is inexplicable from a scientific point of view, since, according to all the laws of biology, it simply cannot provide the vital activity of living beings. In connection with this fact, as well as with the fact that the Uruses have pronounced signs of diametrically opposite species of mutants, they are classified as a special group of necrohybrids.
EARTH 3000: classification of species
Name: insectamorphs
Sizes: from 1 to 7 meters
Species: arachnoids
Class: gregarious predators
Mental abilities: low
Intelligence: semi-intelligent
Resistance to radiation: high
Degree of danger: very high
Despite the fact that after the catastrophe caused by the CHIMERA virus, the planet is mostly abundantly covered with forests, there are spots of dead earth on its surface. These radioactive wastelands formed in those places where, even before the disaster, there were large burial grounds with nuclear burials. But these dead lands only at first glance seem completely deserted. Under the thickness of the earth, races of intelligent insects, whose common name is insectamorphs, build their hive-cities. Insectamorphs are not exactly simple mutants. They need a high radiation background for life and full exchange of substances. And although these monsters are distinguished by extreme vitality, a prolonged (from several hours to a day) absence of radiation leads to the death of any representative of their species.
Despite the fact that the habitat of insectamorphs is strongly limited by radioactive wastelands, this type of mutant is the largest in terms of both number and diversity of species. Due to the extremely high reproduction rate, the growth of the population of insectamorphs are constantly at war with each other, as well as make short raids deep into uninfected territories, destroying and devouring all living things on their way. What is especially noteworthy is that during these raids insectamorphs not only hunt, but also expand their living space by carrying containers with radioactive waste.
Only schools of urgus, for which insectamorphs are the main food, can fully resist these raids. Despite hardly less bloodthirstiness, urguses serve as the main natural buffer between the green world filled with life on the planet, and the gray radioactive wasteland teeming with hordes of giant intelligent insects.
As for the threats to the personnel of resource-extracting stations, insectamorphs do not go so far into the uncontaminated territories, however, despite the absence of a direct threat, the Senate currently understands that the uncontrolled expansion of the territory of insectamorphs can adversely affect the vital resources necessary Republic, in connection with which, with satellite detection, air strikes with the use of napalm are applied to especially large clusters of insects.
EARTH 3000: classification of species
Name: titanohorn
(blind bog )
Dimensions: from 7 to 20 meters
Species: reptilian hybrid
Class: predators
Mental ability: no
Intelligence: semi-intelligent
Radiation resistance: high
Danger: high
Titanohorns are huge creatures completely devoid of sight, whose habitat is inextricably linked with water. A pronounced feature is the presence of two front limbs in structure that are unusually similar to human ones. As a rule, they prefer swampy areas, but unlike the Rachnidomorph, they avoid forests, preferring to hunt in swamps located in open areas. They have a high degree of resistance to radiation, which allows them to track down prey even in the contaminated territories of radioactive wastelands. Despite the lack of vision in the classical sense of the word, like bats, titanohorns have the ability to see by sending and receiving high-frequency ultrasonic signals. Outside, these creatures are covered with incredibly strong skin and horny cover, which is extremely difficult to break through,
Note: rumors circulate among the station personnel that titanohorns, also referred to as "blind swamps", are involved in the disappearance of a number of reconnaissance patrols, supposedly these creatures are capable of making a cunning trap in the likeness of huge "wolf pits" that can swallow an all-terrain vehicle, and even self-arrows operating on the principle of ballista ... One of these weapons was actually found and delivered to Mars for study by the Commission, but there is no evidence that it was these creatures at the moment.
EARTH 3000: classification of species
Name: Krongs
Dimensions: 2.3-2.5 meters
Species: aqua hybrids
Class: omnivorous
Mental abilities: no
Intelligence: reasonable
Radiation resistance: medium
Danger level: Very high
Crongs are large amphibious creatures living in large enclaves along the coasts of the seas and oceans. These creatures are endowed with a sufficiently developed intellect, which makes it possible to classify their species as intelligent. Inside the enclaves, the most severe natural selection operates, thanks to which only the strongest and most combat-ready individuals survive to adulthood. The religion of the Krongs is considered to be war, these creatures wage endless battles both among themselves and with other mutants inhabiting the territory of the planet, both on land and at sea. Krongs are fearless in battle, and do not know the feeling of pity. Despite the absence of high-tech weapons, they pose a significant threat to the personnel of resource-extracting stations, since they are able to think tactically and calculate their actions in advance. The krongs are unrivaled masters of disguise, capable of changing body color like chameleons, merging with the terrain, and although this trick is useless against thermal imaging devices, in the wild world of a mutated planet this skill gives them a significant advantage. Krongs are not as numerous as insectomorphs, however, thanks to tactical coordination, they successfully resist their raids. Practice has shown that attempts to expel Krongs from inhabited territories usually do more harm than good.
Due to the limited material and technical capabilities of a not large contingent of the security service of resource-extracting stations, the complete destruction of the population of this type of mutants is not possible, while preventive air strikes without causing significant damage to their population, causing retaliatory "acts of retaliation "giving a lot of trouble.
EARTH 3000:
Name: project "PHOENIX" prototype No. 12
Height: 175 cm
Species: human
Sex: female
Class: genetically modified artificially bred clone
Mental abilities: very high
Intelligence: high
Resistance to radiation: no
The great catastrophe forever changed the face of the planet, but the InterMars corporation that provoked it was not the only one who, in addition to official activities, conducted secret scientific developments that went beyond the framework of human ethics and morality. Five years before the disaster, the leadership of the largest pharmacological campaign "AMREGO" decides to create a network of secret underground mini-laboratories, the main task of which was to conduct illegal experiments in the field of cloning and changing the human genome. The overall goal of the project called “PHOENIX†was to identify the superpowers of the human body, as well as to search for “the gene of immortality. Artificially created clones with perfect external and genetic characteristics served as experimental material for research.
Despite the ability for high mental activity for laboratory personnel, clones were not considered human. To further depersonalize the "research material" clones could not be given names, and therefore they were all called "prototypes" and were designated by serial numbers.
During the outbreak of the disaster, the computer security system of one of the laboratories, following the protocol in case of emergency, decided to switch to an autonomous mode of operation, and the complete conservation of the mini-bunker from the outside world. Despite these efforts, all laboratory personnel have been infected and mutated. Following the same protocol, the computer system destroyed all mutants, and in view of the absence of living personnel, switched the bunker to an energy-saving mode, leaving a priority task to the life support system of the mother's capsule, inside which the newly created "prototype" of the girl with the serial number "twelve" ... Centuries later, when the energy resource of the bunker is exhausted, the system activates the awakening protocol,
