Okay I have a day off to myself so I am indulging in low budget bad films... and one has a hook people can use so here it is:<div><br /></div><div>Aliens (could be Sathar, Mechanoids, a new threat all together) have been abducting folks from the Frontier and besides messing with their memories, experimenting on them and so on but most importantly implanting the abductees with nanobots... they have been doing this for years. At the same time they implanted some tech ideas in people that have made it to the market and are popular that when they start taking over communications on planets allows them to broadcast planet wide on these systems and alien nanobot activation code that turns the abductees violent, and the abductees blindly physically attack others trying to kill the non-abductee... basically fast moving zombies and if they bite a non-abductee and the non-abductee survives the nanobites spread to that person and eventually cause that person to become violent. The nanobots know who is infected so zombies ignore other zombies.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now PCs could be trying to just survive, trying to save non-infected, working to block alien signals or overwrite the signal and reverse the effect, turn off the bots. They could be sent to capture infected for study. Could be fighting the incoming follow-up invasion mop up force. </div><div><br /></div><div>The nanobots need not be "alien" in origin either the hook can be reworked, they could be a military venture meant to be a weapon against the Sathar gone wrong, a splinter racial terrorist group, a corporation's experiment, an attempt to reprogram criminals that has been hijacked by some party in or outside the Frontier, an ancient weapon system accidentally reactivated could be alien or a known race's oopsy at an abandoned colony, maybe one planet wants to rule the Frontier. </div><div><br /></div><div>If done right this new threat might not be completely revealed... leaving it open to many ideas about who attacked who.</div><div><br /></div><div>The movie is really a generous 1 and 1/2 Stars... I think 1/2 is probably what it should be rated at.</div><div><br /></div><div>The one Alien activation/experiment ship is only seen, but it uses cool Wormhole jump tech. </div><div><br /></div><div>Space Sci-Fi Zombies how many ways? So now we have Nanobots, Psychological Conditioning, Psionic, Pathogens, and Drug Induced causes.</div><div><br /></div><div>Could the nanobots take over robots or computer systems too? Maybe, maybe not.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>
