conversations.value: When we created nanotech, we marveled at our ingenuity. When we birthed the first AI, we applauded ourselves. 
  
  When we released the nanoplague, everything changed.
  
  The Pulse protects us to a point, but the streets aren't safe anymore. We barricade ourselves inside the arcologies, make what we can, and send Runners out to trade for -- or take -- the rest.
  
  We're all carriers now.
  
  [Carriers is a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk zombie game based on a setting I wrote for Jason Pitre's Spark RPG. It's serious in tone, and I expect people to be respectful.]
