The Switch

INTRODUCTION

A enemy seeks to change sides and form an alliance with the protagonist. In this story, someone starts in the virtual gutter, as a sinner of some kind. The thread then shows their ascension to becoming a better person, often in response to stress that would defeat a normal person. Thus they achieve deserved heroic status.

The story begins with the protagonist enjoying (or working) a night on the town.

SUBTHREADS

The Missing Link
An unknown killer stalkers the streets, and there is something connecting them to the protagonist. In this thread, somebody is captured and needs to be rescued. A triangle may form between the protagonist, the antagonist and the victim. There may be a grand duel between the protagonist and antagonist, after which the victim is freed.

The Misunderstanding
Someone has the same goals as the protagonist, but mistakenly views them as the enemy. In this thread, the nobler elements of the human spirit are extolled as someone gives much more than most people would give. The person may not start with the intent of personal sacrifice and may thus be an unintentional hero, thus emphasising the heroic nature of the choice and act.

LOCATIONS

Private facility
This could be a research facility, a medical or pharmacutical lab, or even a private prison.

Factory
A factory or manufacturing plant is an industrial building or complex, where workers manufacture goods or operate processing machines. A modern factory will usually have large warehouses containing equipment.
