Scenarios to be considered (poll scenarios are also valid)
Zombie apocalypse
A strange virus has been slowly infecting all the countries of the world for the past week. Media reports have been fragmented and have described infected individuals as exhibiting animalistic behaviors but no global panic has started as governments around the world have censored the media in an attempt to avert mass panic. However that is all changed when a infestation strikes your countries most populated city (not the capital city) where gory spectacle is broadcasted worldwide. Shockingly it is the same as you flick through the other channels, similar scenes assault your eyes in places like Lyon, Liverpool, Sydney, Shanghai, San Francisco or Frankfurt. The word 'Zombie' quickly begins to spread as everyone watches their television screens in apprehension or begin their disaster survival plans. That is where I leave you, at your house (with or without your family) after seeing the TV screen suddenly black out and replaced with an emergency broadcasting system.
I'd also like to mention the word 'Zombie' is not taboo in this scenario unlike every other zombie movie. The zombies can be assumed to be just like the zombies in the [url]=http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/Zombies'The Walking Dead'[/url] except that they don't decay
Nuclear holocaust
It all started with that damned conflict in Asia! Tension between Pakistan and India have reached melting point over the last few weeks over a dispute over a newly discovered diamond deposit. At first the conflict sounded with sporadic skirmishes as each side attempted to build a barrier over the diamond deposit to secure if. Then a roared into a full-spanning conventional war as Pakistan mobilised its military to annex the North- West of India. No one is certain who was at fault when the first ICBM was launched but reports came thick and fast as the war spiraled into a nuclear holocaust fueled by the paranoia and fear that started the it. Indian ICBM hits Multan killing 9 million. Pakistan ICBM hits New Dehli killing 14 million. Chinese ICBM hits Mumbai killing 22 million. North Korean ICBM hits Seoul killing 17 million. Israelian nuke hits Mecca killing 25 million. American nuke hits Pyongyang killing 3 million people. Russian dead hand system activates. As you soon as you hear the first report of nuclear fire between India and Pakistan, that is where you start, at your house with or without your family.
It takes 1 day before the Russian dead hand system activates and miraculously the nukes never land in your starting city either by a lucky missile defense system or the cities insignificance.
Solar Flare
It was just a normal Saturday morning for you waking up at 9am to the sound of your favourite radio station. After preparing breakfast by the kitchen bench and turn on the television to see the weekly weather report, you hear that its going to be 19 degrees today. Chilly you think to yourself. Suddenly a pulse glistens from the sky illuminating the interior of your home in an wash of blue light. As the blue pulse recedes your discover that the TV has been rendered destroyed. Curiously you also notice that the lights in your house has been switched on but to your dismay, they don't work either. You place down your bowl of cereal and walk towards your computer but alas it will not work. The blinking lights of your internet modem that once provided you comfort and entertainment now lie dormant as you being to think "what else has been destroyed" ? And that is where you start, in your house (with or without your family).
Yes the solar flare has destroyed all electrical devices within the world, unless it has been electromagnetically shielded.
Personally, I'd take the Solar flare scenario because that's the least disastrous of them all. Society unlike a nuclear holocaust or zombie apocalypse has not been completely destroyed yet.
