I’m planning a sci-fi and fantasy webseries. It probably won’t go anywhere, so don’t get too excited, but I need help with the plot of one episode.
I’m planning to kill off a character and have the other protagonists almost die, but only just survive. However, what should the cause of death be?
- Nuclear radiation
- Sci-fi disease
- Some kind of terrifying alien creature
This would be a massive burst from all directions, absorbed through a faulty radiation suit. In my rough plan, the protagonists find a secret research station underground, where experiments were run involving delta radiation (which is a real thing, look it up).
