Humanities final day started from an unexpected meteor shower over the Western Hemisphere. On May 5, 20XX two asteroids collided. Meteorite "Martin" the size of a large running track made impact causing catastrophic damage to the Western Unites States. Most of California, Nevada, Oregon, and Idaho were flattened leaving a large crater. Large amounts of dust and debris accumulated in the atmosphere causing extreme changes in climate. At first this event was described as a tragedy that left most baffled and concerned for the future but as time went on and people returned to their everyday lives, it got worse. After a week of response, rescuers and victims began to suffer from symptoms. As the sky began to clear of pollutants, the danger of this event became clear. The real danger wasn't the meteorite, but what was contained within it...
On the morning of May 12, 20XX the first victim Billy Owens transformed into something that words cannot fully describe. Billy's soft, plump skin slowly turned black. His bones grew, and grew, and grew until his back split open allowing the spine and shoulder blades to protrude. In place of his teeth was an elongated, dislocated Jaw that allowed him to swallow his food whole. The inner mouth was fleshy and pink, accompanied by multiple tongues that assisted with pulling food into the throat for consumption. Billy's hands split between each finger until there was no palm left, only things that resembled fingers. Each and every victim transformed into a different kind of monster, yet they all had three traits in common; black leathery skin, a large mouth, and long spindly fingers.
Ground zero was turned into a containment zone and no one was allowed in, or out. However, it was far too late for containment. Most of the victims that were evacuated have long since disappeared from the government's whereabouts and the virus, which scientists have named "Nomen Dubium", began to spread throughout the world. By July 2, there was not a single place on Earth that was not infected or effected by Nomen Dubium.
NOTE: Victims of the Virus are colloquially called Roamers, but scientifically they are referred to as "Nomen Dubium" Virus.
Transformation: Can be infected from consuming foreign space particles. This includes through eyes, nose, mouth and all other entry points. Infection can be passed from human to human through contact in all forms.

NOTE: Victims of the Virus are colloquially called Roamers, but scientifically they are referred to as "Nomen Dubium" Virus.
Transformation: Can be infected from consuming foreign space particles. This includes through eyes, nose, mouth and all other entry points. Infection can be passed from human to human through contact in all forms.
- Phase 1. General flu symptoms. Headaches, coughing, sneezing, fever, nausea, chills, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, and all-around discomfort. Can take place within 2 days of contact.
- Phase 2. Skin begins to turn black with a leather-like texture. Blindness begins to set in. Teeth start to fall out. Mental stability begins to fail. Bleeding from sensory organs. Can take place within 4 days of contact
- Phase 3. Mental stability is gone. The body has torn open to allow for sporadic growth leaving the body misshapen. Most transformations can include extra extremities, sensory organs, or general size. Skin has turned black and leathery. Can take place within 1 week of contact. Time-frame can happen sooner, but never later than 7 days.
Behavior: Though Nomen Dubium differs in almost all aspects; some may be blind, some deaf, some short, some tall... they all have to eat and sleep. They are known to hunt during the day, and sleep at night. Their appetite consists of anything that is warm and can move.
Setting: This story begins on the morning of August 3rd in the mid-western United states. Most buildings are decrepit from looting and mass panic. Due to Nomen Dubium swallowing their prey whole, most places aren't a bloody biohazard mess. The streets are littered with debris and the world is silent.
