Thought Experiment: Containment Failure (ENCORE EVENT)
Details
Ever wondered how humanity would respond to an asteroid heading for Earth? Or how the world might react to first contact with aliens?
Welcome to The Thought Experiment — a new kind of meetup where we explore big “What if…?” scenarios in a fun but thoughtful way. Each session, we’ll pick one scenario (from global crises to wild sci-fi situations) and work together to imagine solutions, strategies, and possibilities.
This is for curious minds of all kinds — students, professionals, creatives, or anyone who enjoys thinking differently. Some people might bring research, others just bring imagination. Either way, we’ll brainstorm together and see where the discussion takes us.

Story Arc: Apocalypse
Keywords: Viral Outbreak, Halloween Encore, Zombies
Scenario: Containment Failure
Next Week in the Horrors of Consciousness Series.
It began in a private research facility —
a corporation working on a cure for everything.
Disease. Aging. Even death itself.
But something went wrong.
A breach.
Something escaped.
Those exposed don’t die — they change.
Cities are falling silent.
Denial is policy.
We are the last survivors — trapped, desperate, and running out of time.
Will we trust each other… or turn on our own?
And along the way… there will be twists.
Join us this Saturday, 3–5 PM at Oxford Scholar.
A small group. Big imagination.
No right answers — just curiosity, debate & fun.
