This is a re post. I apologize for how long it is. This was done really late the first night i joined ANA forums, probably around 2am and on the fly, so it's probably got a lot of errors.
After reading this forum about the space ninja, pirate, zombie idea, just hear me out on this idea.
The year is 24xx and technology has progressed to warp speed space travel, but through the changes of time, civilization seemingly went into reverse in a way where the weapons and technology are better suited for the fighting style of ninjas and pirates and ships are more suited to be in the shapes of galleons and submarines to be able to travel in space effectively. Because of Bionics founder Dr. Jenkins Robots are now as common as a house cat. They are used to perform everyday labors and jobs from cooks to pilots. Many robots have developed neural synapses much like humans, evolving, developing personalities and traits much like humans. Doctors can now attach cybernetic limbs to people who have lost body parts in the line of duty or any illness that may call for such drastic measures. They can now harvest the cybernetic minds of robots that have developed and replace them with humans' who have lost complete brain function and are reduced to vegetables, but not without risk of side effects. It is rumored that this transplant can cause insanity in some subjects from such drastic procedures, so it is rarely ever done.
Around the time of 23xx there was a pandemic. In brink of curing diabetes, Dr. Zoe Lornea was a hairs length away from obtaining the Nobel Peace Prize for her discovery, but her colleague and rival Dr. Sigmund Manfield decided to take her discovery to the public first and took the prize away from her. In her anger she made a mutant strain of diabetes that rapidly decreases the insulin levels in the body causing immense sugar craving and hunger pains to the point of causing the brain to go into a mock starvation and death, but it also had other side effects, the subjects would awaken from these mock deaths even hungrier than before making them rabid wild creatures (like in 28 days later). In the wake of her new plague she was interrupted by her colleague who began taunting her, the same man who just stole all of her hopes and dreams. In the break out of an argument Dr. Lornea smashes her plague against Dr. Manfields face and she bolts out of the office and never heard of again. Days later the police find Dr. Manfields body in the hallway outside of the office. When the police try to receive his body, he awakens rabid and hungry and takes a bite out of the first cop he sees. The other cops immediately unload clip after clip into this new maddened creature getting blood all over themselves and the paramedics there. A few days later, reports on the news tell of the same symptoms of all the men and women that were at the site of the body, sugar cravings, extreme hunger, depression, hysteria and collapse followed by the terrifying transformation. A month later the streets are filled with creatures that eat anything living in sight and can infect anyone by even getting the smallest drop of blood on the skin of someone uninfected. But these creatures are never seen during the day because the effect of vitamin D from sunlight (i haven't worked the specifics out yet). Thus "Noon" (Night organized operative ninjas) a special force to keep the deranged and mutated denizens in the outer city limits and to prevent further outbreaks. Strict policies are now in effect for those who become infected. Patients who come in that are infected are immediately refused treatment and the authorities come and throw them in the infect zone out side of the newly built city gates. People who also don't report infected friends and family are also thrown out of city limits to be left to a miserable fate for allowing any potential risk to the inner city.
Back to present day 24xx
Professor Heath Jenkins, founder of Bionic, the leading company for cybernetic parts and limbs, was in the hospital attaching new limbs to a soldier who lost both legs in the line of duty, when a man bursts into the hospital hysterical and panicking after managing to climb over the city walls after having one of his arms shredded and bitten up from the creatures outside the city limits when he was thrown out by the authorities. The man leaps at Professor Jenkins in a mad frenzy of tears and screams of pain, pleading for help and gets blood all over the soldier and the Professor. Immediately the room is emergency locked down and the area is quarantines until "Noon" arrives, leaving professor Jenkins, the soldier and Jenkins personal robotic companion locked into the room. During the quarantine Prof. Jenkins finishes the surgery on the soldiers legs and immediately begins plans of breaking out despite the soldiers maniacal babbling of how they are doomed no matter what. Using his tools he used to fix the soldiers cybernetic legs the three escape and head to his office. When they reach the entrance to Bionic HQ they are greeted by the full force of "Noon" and immediately subdued. Without hesitation they are thrown outside and city limits only to be greeted by hungry eyes. To their fortune prof. Jenkins' robotic assistant is also the first fully equipped war model. The three manage to reach the side of the outer wall where one of the space docks are. With the element of surprise and his new model of robot, they manage to steal a space boat shipping spice from one of the near star systems with more that 100 robots as crew and 6 humans including the captain. As soon as they breach the Earth's atmosphere they burst into warp speed and are not heard from, not from the Prof or the crew.
During the first day the crew was completely locked in their bunks without any knowledge as to what would happen to them only 2 robots were let out at one point but then nothing. Hours later all they could hear were screams, the screams of 2 men. It was horrifying like the sound of a thousand hands on 100 chalk boards. Finally the screaming stopped. Two days later someone finally speaks through the intercom. Its Prof. Jenkins and he explains that through the theory of transplanting a cybernetic brain from two of the robot crew and the help of his robot companion who has assisted him in every surgery and procedure he has done, he has been reborn, saved form the plague, by using the same neural synapses of developed cyborgs he was able to save himself and the soldier from becoming ravenous monsters that they normally would have, but that it wont stop the hunger pain, so he and the soldier regrettably have to eat the human passengers.
Prof. Jenkins isn't satisfied with just the fact that he hasn't become a complete monster, he wants to destroy the city that he did so much for and threw him out like a dog without any seconds thought, hope or chance. So prof Jenkins decides in his head that he is going to change himself and the soldier even more so that they are as weaponized as his robotic companion. so one evening while "Noon" is on patroll (which is the best time to do it cause the city isn't completely impenetrable by the people outside) they use the ship to blast one of the city walls open letting in the creatures and giving the 3 time to get his equipment and parts. (i forgot to mention this, but since spice ships have to travel the asteroid belts and fields they come with standard guns on the ship, not enough to do alot of damage but enough to distract) (also note that "Noon" is very good at keeping floods of zombie creatures at bay cause they are suppose to be bad-A$$ like snake-eyes form GI-Joe but not to say they are prefect, so some do get past them and they are trained to track them down and deal with it I'm assuming). After they get the parts from there they take some humans hostage and even zombie creatures (both to eat and experiment on) and flee back into space.
Ok its 2:05AM and I'm really tired so I'm gonna sum this up really quick. so later prof. Jenkins and soldier come back as Captain Plague and Silver Cross his first mate and he still has his robotic companion Calypso (which i should note is suppose to be a sexy female, so shes a hot robot.....pirate lol), and all of them have weapons installed them from laser swords to beam weapons and all those robots were used to make an undead cyborg crew from the people he took hostage (some he ate). So picture them with rotting flesh and loose skin like zombies but with cybernetic attachments. i think eventually they should have to become full cyborgs cause their bodies would continue to rot and deteriorate. So there would be the threat of these creepy undead cyborg space pirates and also the zombie creatures on the planet still too. and who knows what havoc they wreaked in space while they were gone cause their ship is gonna look epic too with new attachments and guns other stuff.
My vision of "Noon" was that the operatives would be covered from head to toe and you couldn't even see their eyes like Snake Eyes because even one drop could cause infection and they are so disciplined that they will even kill themselves upon immediate infection to prevent further spread. So i was thinking the story could be based around an unsure operative who doesn't agree completely with the means and lengths that they go to but follows orders because someone close to him was devoured in front of his face after they were thrown out of the city limits when they became infected, around sometime when he was young. So i thought it would be cool that it would start from his stand point when he first joins "Noon" and has patrolled a few times at night, but hasn't really gotten his hands dirty yet, and it's also at the same point when Prof. Jenkins aka Cptn. Plague or Scourge (i need a better name) comes back to rob his lab and they destroy part of the wall, releasing hundreds of zombie like creatures into the city, and our main character at one point freezes and gets bit in one leg and one arm and panics cause he doesn't want to kill himself, so he cuts of his limbs and ends up getting cybernetic replacements by the person who takes over Bionic Prof. Jenkins nephew but is suggested to try out a newer model that will make him better than any operative, but it requires him to have his legs and arms cut off up to the shoulder and torso to be fully replaced by cybernetic ones, because only having one cybernetic limb each would cause an imbalance that is body couldn't handle. so he is reluctant at first but ends up deciding to do the procedure and his arms and legs look like normal one but are fully equipped with built in ninja weapons, guns and ammo.
So there it is, all the ideas at the end aren't as thought out because it's late and I'm brain dead now, but tell me what you think, i came up with this only 2 hours ago after i read the posts and i wanted to contribute something, so there's my idea. Constructive criticism is always appreciated and if you guys think there should be anything added or taken out I'd love to hear from you.
Oh i wanted to add that they aren't suppose to really be zombies just more like the creatures from I Am Legend, they can die like people, but they just go through a mock death that makes them rabid. and the only reason the captain and first mate look that way is because they haven't fully installed all of the parts onto themselves. so they still have human parts that are breaking down but still functioning and eventually i wanted them to become fully robotic and try to steal the new technology that the main character has on his body so that they can better themselves and their own weaponized bodies kinda like the pirate from treasure planet but a lot sleeker. idk I'm gonna stop now I'm babbling
this is a repost.
