Night of The Dead- Chapter 3: The Source

Anti-matter. The supposed material synthetically engineered to replace the energy-providing nuclear power. This newly generated material was a reputable finding, that it was able to undo all nuclear plants, giving way to a safer and non-contaminating world for the people. But like all new discoveries, scientists would normally not release them, not until they are absolutely proof of flaws. The financiers thought otherwise. It was time for profit to flow in. It was time to sell the Anti-matter.
The material was not safe. Not one little bit so. This synthetic powerplant can generate enough energy to light up metro cities 5 years over, with only one ounce of its mass. Enough energy to compete with 500 mega-tonnes of nuclear bombs. Enough energy to wipe out half a continent, more like. The Anti-matter is not stable, not as the advertisements said. It was particularly weak against one matter: Oxygen.
Carefully constructed from the biological stance of energy releasing and energy absorbing chemical reactions within, the Anti-matter was created with a theory that it would consume itself and then release its own power again, in an endless cycle to power the world. The chains of reaction were vulnerable to oxygen, the substance that would break all of the Anti-matter's bindings, causing the material to lose all its chemical stability.

Sales of this new found technology was unbelievable. Nations calculated and estimated billions of dollars of reduction on annual power supply expenditure, having used the Anti-matter to power their countries. Half a year prior to their launching, the development company was already cashing in profits clean to every other ounce of Anti-matter sold by the marginal prices of production.
The world rejoiced at a cleaner planet, one safe to live in, and one well preserved for 'our children, and theirs'. But the idealistic world of safe power generators, free from unstable nuclear plants, ended. 4 months back, parts of the American continent was burnt down. Six Anti-matter generating powerplants blew, and land the size of half the USA was flattened into wastelands. Billions died, innocent, all.
The ones responsible sat in the comfort of their luxurious offices, behind their expensive lawyers, and blaming the scientists for all the flaws. Panic drove every city in the world empty, civilians now seeking refuge in the poorer nations that were before this unable to purchase the Anti-matter for their own countries.
Reports filed, as rescue teams recovered something besides dead bodies of innocent lives at the accident site. A little less than full bodies, some have had themselves torn apart by.... claws. Rescue teams have also had little problems getting back.. alive. Special forces have been dispatched to the site to further investigate the sightings, and scientists were to find out what happened in there.

"There had been a biohazard meltdown in the accident site", some declared. Politicians and business people denied those claims, and started stuffing the scientists' throats with either cash or bullets. Havoc began to wreck the world, curious people voicing opinions that the governments were hiding conspiracies. The United World's Committee dispatched a team to the site to uncover evidences of biohazard fallout last week. Six men, three were highly skilled Bioengineers, the other three elite members of the Ghost Team created for extreme case co-op missions.
Its been nearly a week, now. They're not back yet. That led to us being here in this meeting room.
