Plot:

PAST
Year 2550

Pentagon, USA


"Unidentified object is coming straight to Earth. Destroy the target at any cost"
Never was the pentagon in such a state of emergency. Technicians were running around waving papers and statistics, military men stood by awaiting orders.
"This is no good. Contact the Russians and the Japanese at once."
Within ten minutes, three holographic monitors were set and the three greatest political and military leaders in the world were ready to begin.
" Mr Grozny, Mr Kojimoto. Thank you for being able to contact me on such a short notice."
" Mr Konners, we are both very anxious about what you have to tell us. It's been what, 50 years since the last meeting?" replied Kojimoto.
" Well, we have a serious problem. About a week ago we found an unidentified object in outer space with a course straight to Earth. We thought then, judjing by it's size, that it was an alien spacecraft. Alas, it was not."
" Then what was it?" asked Grozny with his heavy accent.
" It is a comet. With the size of the USA."
" That is impossible" said Kojimoto.
" I would like to believe so Mr Kojimoto, but our pictures say otherwise. Anyway, the point now is, do we hit it with something?"
" Of course!!! Plasma beams will be ready and operational within the hour" said Kojimoto.
" And our nuclear missiles are at your disposal" said Grozny.
" Thank you. In two hours we'll hit it. I hope this will not be the last time we cooperate."
" We hope the same." they both replied.

Too bad it was the last time they spoke to each other.


Year 2550, 2 days before The Eternal Slumber Plan

So it began.
After the hit, the comet was almost destroyed, with only a very small part of it still in course. The specialists said it would fall into the Atlantic ocean.
They shouldn't have left it. With the impact, a deadly and unknown virus was released, killing the 2/3 of the population of the planet in 2 days. The survivors were led to underground shelters, where they waited for a plan. And the plan came.

Apparently, the world's governments, fearing the possibility of a global destruction after witnessing the cruelty of World War 3, prepared an action plan for the safety of any survivors: Big cities were made in the most secure place: The Internet. Replicas of New York, Tokio, Moscow and other major capitals were created in domains on the internet. The plan was called The Eternal Slumber, named after the second part of the plan: People would be placed in cryogenic sleep, while their minds would be digitalized and uploaded on their domain of choice. The domains communicate with each other, so people would be able to keep in touch with their friends in other domains.
The people loved it.
Mass uploads started, and the plan was a great success.
For then at least.
Some time after the third upload wave, they realized they didn't take into account the residents of the net: viruses, trojans, malware and the like. They manifested in the form of infected beasts or even humanoids, and at first they caused big trouble. Fortunately, the Net Protection Squad was created, an army of trained soldiers adept at recognising, imobilizing and neutralizing dangerous programs.

And the people waited for the cure to be found, while being protected in their digital sanctuaries.

Until...
PRESENT

Athens Domain
The Parthenon 2

"Alert. Virus attacks in port 1. Communication with other domains is now lost."
" Send the Containers and the Deleters along with a squad of Programmers to port 1 now!"
" Sir, their numbers are huge!!! And their programming... I've never seen such lines before!!!"
" Alert. Outer Firewall has been breached."
" Shit. He don't have much time left. Record a transmission for New York domain"
" Five minutes remaining!!!" somebody shouted
" God have mercy on our souls"

Ten minutes after, the Athens domain disappeared from the Pentagon 2's monitors.
"Sir, we lost the Athens Domain!"
General Carter raised his head from the blueprints he was looking at. "Summon the Net Protection Squad at once."
