30 Dimensional Fatigue Events Our premise is that the following disaster happened and what kind of world or worlds could have or did result from this disaster. If there are (will be) multiple ideas, then additional threads World Ib, World Ic, etc can be created.
7. Parasite infestation
Not all creatures that come out of a dimensional rift are eight foot tall warrior breed space mantises. Sometimes the creature that comes out is small, sometimes almost invisible to the naked eye like mites and gnats. The parasite is easily overlooked until it starts decimating local food supplies (tribbles) starts infesting human hosts (brain stem worms, X-Files, Star Trek, etc) or begins spreading a horrific but non-lethal disease, such as space fleas spreading a skin disease that causes scarring, blackened skin discoloration, or if untreated a pathological form of leprosy.
Scenario: The latest device has released a small worm like parasite into a small section of the water supply, and the worms mature inside a human host, driving it to mate like mad to spread its offspring through bodily fluids. The mature worms make their way into the spinal column where they end up remote controlling the host through emotion manipulation. Better not let any infected people leave the area, since the parasite likes its host all jacked up on sugar, sex, and violence.
