L/O: to apply narrative theory to your own ideas

Equilibrium

Similar to our current world people live peacefully politicians get elected, kids go to school and workers work. The world is what is considered normal from an overall perspective with the problems any place has hidden around. It may not seem it but the world is calm. But in China something was beginning, something which would affect and span across the world due to a singular scientists great mistake.

Disruption

China suffered from a problem of an overwhelmingly elderly population and these people for the most part do not work. 7 years ago a Doctor from England named Mark Smith was hired by the Chinese government due to his expertise and genius in his field of science and understanding of the human body. Smith was hired for darker reasons than the world would know, but they were not reasons he disagreed with. Having no family left and his only friends in England being work ones out of a mutual benefit he moved to China taking the job. Smith was developing an illness which would only be obtainable through non conventional means. The plan was to develop a virus able to be put inside of tablets which were mostly bought by elderly people in the region and that was the only way to obtain it. The plan was to cull or purge an age range from 70+ and bring it down further in the future. The problem was it turned out to be contagious in the testing stage due to a tester meeting people when he should not have. The virus began to transfer to people being unfinished and it wasn't working how intended.

Recognition of disruption

Smith realised what had happened after an unknown illness began to spread only seriously affecting the elderly and harming people with an outlying illness more than a standard person who felt it was nothing more than a common cold. His culling virus now named Virus-7 due it's development time was spreading through China and becoming known to the outside world. Smith left China before all transport was ceased and he began to search for a way to contact the primeinister and possibly other strong powers in the world and explain what had happened. The problem was the only way he could think of was contacting a large news company to Catch peoples eye but showing himself in public wouldn't work for him when he thought he was also being followed to be silenced. 

Attempt to solve disruption

Smith gave in and decided it was more of a risk to the people if he didn't say what he knew then if he said nothing and lived peacefully. He managed to get an interview with the largest TV channel in the Uk at the current moment of time and gave his speech. This worked catching the Governments eye and they became willing to hear him out, his plan was to get the information on how he made the virus and his references to research facilities looking to make a vaccine.

New Equilibrium

Smith never succeeded in getting the information to who he wanted to after skeptics and professionals doubted his truth and began to think he was a crazy man who got the credentials of a professional. The world would stay fearing a mystery virus for the near future
