Viral Shades is an adventure for Traveller:The New Era and deals with the effects of the virus on a remote colony. I got this copy from Freelance Traveller. Thanks Jeff. The original intro was:
"This document has been pieced together from personal records discovered during the past few years operations in the Wilds. Whilst the sources were many and varied they have been synthesised here into the single story of life on a TL8+ world, as the virus attacked, and as the world tried to survive."
"In reading this account, particular attention should be paid to the changing norms for: energy, transportation, food and water supply, shelter, health, information, and currency. Assimilation of this information will help considerably in your dealings with both remnants and survivor groups, as well the people of the Wilds at large."
The main sections are:
- Immediate Effects
- Short Term Survival
- Medium Term Survival
- Long Term Recovery
- Nugget: Stranded in Space
- Nugget: The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgeene
- Nugget: Mall fever
- Nugget: Out of the Fire
- Nugget: Down on the farm
- Nugget: Back to the City
- Nugget: Reaching Out
- Nugget: Like A Second Coming
- Virus Attack Vectors
- Energy
- Survival In Space
The nuggets could be strung together to tell the evolving story of a world crashing under the virus and gradually rebuilding back to first re-contact.
