Call me stupid, call me a retard, but I was DEVASTATED after watching Neon Genesis Evangelion and End of Evangelion. While many might say that its a mere cartoon, it obviously isn't.
Although its not something serious, but I always imagined my Apocalypse, Evangelion inspired me a lot. I have one hobby, and everything else gathers around it. Thats the "Last stand of humanity". Thats why I love things like the Judas Priest albums between Painkiller-Angel of Retribution, NGE, RahXephon, Xenogears and stuff like it. I imagine my Judgment Days all the time, a bit different, a bit mystical, a bit more technocratic, a bit medieval, a bit futuristic, sometimes steampunk and sometimes fantasy. But here's my favorite edition, be warned, its not a scientific work, more like a film script.
The distant future, a research station, probably the last one.
Humanity was attacked by extraterrestrial beings, now these beings began to destroy humanity, at first the reason is pretty obscure, but later, somehow human scientists find out that the aliens are genetically similar to us, which leads to the conclusion that this is how they colonize the space. They send a seed of life the the chosen planet (pretty much like the panspermia theory), and wait patiently until life develops on it.
Now among our aliens advanced gene surgery is a taboo, even they are afraid of the outcome.
But something went dead wrong with the humans from their perspective. They expected humans to be either mindless slaves, or rational beings very much like these aliens.
But somehow humans turned out to be how they are, they learnt how to steal, how to pillage, how to betray, how to differentiate themselves, their family, their friends from the entire human species. In a nutshell, they became egoists, they became individuals.
Now, the humans are almost eradicated, there aren't many left of them, probably only our pack of scientists, but they, they have the chance to ensure humanity's rebirth.
They're field is gene surgery, and simultaneously they are working on two projects:
1, Modifying the human genes and causing it to evolve at a greater speed, so yeah, accelerated evolution.
2, Encoding all the knowledge that humanity possesses at that time into the dns.
How, how not, they prevail with this plan of theirs, but when they could celebrate their victory, the aliens discover them, they discover them and go after them.
This is where the long journey starts with the Ocean as a goal.
During the destruction of the facility the head scientist (I've decided that the head scientist must be a she for obvious reasons) injects the vector virus into herself, which causes her body to start decaying, so time is short.
This is the first chapter of the story, in the second the last pack of humans are traveling together to escort the head scientist to the ocean to ensure humanity's survival.
Voila, probably im nuts, but hell, I'd give everything If I could be the part of such a story.
i really like how you picture judgment day
