2066, January 8th.

Each kid in your class, class "A - 18" has had their regular dose of 'Genetic Recoding'. This pill that is as common as a flu shot, is given to students regularly in order to evolve their DNA into something much sturdier and healthier, aswell as giving the individual their own individual superpower. Not shooting fire out of their hands or creating explosions, but allowing strength 4x the average teenage boy or allowing the speed of a cheetah. Telepathy and Telekinesis has been rare, but very real, and some have even been born with two or three.

Scientists have realized that the more abilities programmed into a person, the less 'super' they are. For example. Someone with two abilities might have Enhanced Sight and Enhanced Strength, but someone with one ability might have Telekinesis or Telepathy, much more fiction like powers. Keep in mind there is no Superman strength or Flash speed. Those with Enhanced physical abilities are able to break locks on their human condition in order to gain these powers - Allowing them to have abilities the human body otherwise wouldn't allow due to physical harm. This pill restricts harm to the body from using these abilities, and although is exhausted by overuse, does not cause any long-term effects such as inability to use the power or major side affects.

In the meanwhile, scientists have also been experimenting on new dead specimens - where the body is still functioning even for a couple of minutes. After placing these pills inside the bodies, scientists have discovered zombie-like affects and have banned Necrophelic-Enhancing. Though, as the scientists try to dispose of these creatures, they end up escaping in YOUR local town - as well as all around the world. The outbreak is common and and very real, however treated as low priority.

Your class watches these messages on the news, and a single police officer with their own set of enhancements walk you home that night - roads have been closed and only air-transportation is even close to a thought. You're advised to stay on guard; you won't be walked home every day, but security cameras are being placed around the city.

The next day, you wake up, put on your clothes, and expect a normal (as normal as it can be) day.

The bell rings.
