OOC: Let's move this along.

IC:

Inside a near-inaccessible room at Euron Industries' Headquarters...

"Are you sure? Have you not gone insane? Mr Euron should know about this..."

"Do it. Render their feeble little minds useless. Let them become no more than mindless drones, ever working for my superior cause. And in case you didn't know... I am Charles Euron now, not that weak-minded man this body used to belong to." said the third body of Charles Euron.

"This isn't right..."

"Tell me this: why should the world be constantly inhabited by weak-minded fools without any ambition, with the inability to stay united? About 6% of the world has an implant from Euron Industries... more than some of our rivals, who, soon, won't exist. We make 'superior' implants... Make this with Euron Industries' implants 'superior', and you can be yourself a little longer. Even have the dead ones with implants created by us rise up... cover it up as the ever-theorised zombie apocalypse."

"Right... sir... you're crazy."

"I. Am. Not. Crazy. You just don't see the world the way I do. One day, that may change, and I'm forcing that day to be today. See the grandeur of my plan today, so go ahead... and do it. NOW." Charles stammered, frustrated with this employee, but so far, this employee had been loyal to him.

"Then I will."

Mere seconds later, several hundred million people on the Earth just... stopped. For no reason, at not least for any reason any government, media, or ordinary person could see. But what was happening was the invasion and suppression of more an a hundred million minds, with the bodies reduced to nothing more than a host for a drone-like program that answered to Euron Industries' every order. Accompanied by this was the rising of several somewhat decayed corpses, which had implants in them, but no mind to suppress. It was soon discovered by a few unfortunate investigators that all these of now drone-like bodies were also programmed to destroy all organic life.

People seconds after the takeover was done. Did a zombie apocalypse begin? They didn't know. How many people had been lost? 579,564... and rising. Stronger minds may be resisting it, but if they let their guard down for even a millisecond... they are no longer a person.

And so... the world was forever changed.
