Backstory:

The year is 2010. Cooma has expanded exponentially to approximately 35 000 people, most of them refugees from a disaster that destroyed? much of Canberra, news has not been forthcoming as to the cause, or even that it actually occured. the remainder are fleeing a *something* which has been wreaking havoc throughout the Snowy Mountains area, driving the people into more heavily built up areas ie. Cooma and the hole with a lake that is Jindabyne.
These bizarre occurrences have coincided with a slight gothification of the Cooma area although this may be just coincidence or one may follow the other, if it is the second it is still unclear as to which came first, the bizarre or the Goths.
The architecture of Cooma has become more goth and the small town has turned into a compact city. the citizens are also getting a bit weirder although the suburbs have the same feel:
- Cooma North = dreg
- Zalka = upper class snobs (who want their stuff taken)
The City has grown in area only slightly, many of the outlying farms have been abandoned due to weather and drought difficulties. Many high density apartment blocks have been built and moist of the population lives in these

Many of the shops and businesses are still around, some doing better than ever, of particular note are:
  • Cooma Sports store
The sports store runs a very profitable business in this troubled time, the government has legalised semiautomatic and portable weaponry for an undisclosed reason and handguns are now more readily available. they also still carry a variety of other weaponry (knives, bows etc.)
They also have a contract with snowy Hydro to arm their personell
  • Snowy Hydro
snowy hydro is a huge faceless corporation that has all its agents around doing "routine
maintenance" with guns(clarify pls ed.)
  • The local media
The local media is all but dead, all news broadcasts are transmitted on ABC national radio and are all government controlled. You do not know what to trust. especially after what happened to Canberra was reported as, a string of improbable and catastrophic malfunctions.
There are several ham radio broadcasters that broadcast as they see fit, when these channels are discovered the government is quick to silence those responsible.
  • The Church
The church has become a dominant political force and religion is rampant. Some conspirists believe that the more prominent religions are just another arm of the government that is being utilised to ...
