Re: Kurovadis (OUT NOW! BUY IT)
It's still there, it's just buried under tons of comments.
Here it is. Edited a little.
"There is a virus outbreak within the city that mutates people and drives them to spread the virus to others through contact (often sexual, of course) and reproduction. The virus itself only manifests itself in people at night, and people are not in danger of being infected during the day. In the past, the virus had only appeared in small numbers and had been dealt with quickly.
Kuro is a "Tier", one of three people who protect the city against outbreaks of the virus. She and two others were selected because they were somehow naturally resistant to it's effects in short amounts of time, as opposed to others who turn instantly. They are referred to as Tier I,II, and III based on their resistance level to the virus, Kuro being III, with the lowest amount of resistance.
Since the three of them were so important to the military as a means of fighting the virus, they were implanted with machines (the headgear you see) that manipulates their will, causing them to fight without question. Though their personalities and conscience remain somewhat, they have lost any memory of their normal lives.
Since the virus only appears at night, the three are forced into a perpetual cycle of fighting the virus during the night, and then returning to pods where they are kept in a state of suspended animation until the next outbreak. They are deployed based on the degree of the outbreak, and the amount of resistance that would be required to combat it.
One night, there is a tier II outbreak. As Tier III, Kuro's resistance would not be strong enough, so the other two are deployed to deal with it. For unknown reasons the virus spreads faster than usual infecting most of the city, and the Tiers are overrun and defeated.
The base containing Kuro is also overun, and with the military infected, nobody awakens Kuro, leaving her in suspended animation for an undetermined amount of time. One night, Kuro's pod malfunctions and she is released. The virus has since spread across the world, and it's uncertain how many normal people are left. Under the control of the headgear, she has no choice but to hopelessly fight against the virus and it's mutations. The only thing that keeps her sane is a vague recollection of walking in the sun in her previous life, and the possibility that perhaps she can finally see it again."
In the ending, she is seen without her headgear, which would have been destroyed during the battle with the final boss. She survives to see the sun once again, and regains a semblance of her former self. Everything beyond that is up in the air.
