x❖ █ ⋮
x❖ █ ⋮ it has been a little over a year before the world, as we know it, fell into a mix of chaos.
x❖ █ ⋮ what started as a mild cold brought, similar to a flu, turned into an epidemic of sickness
x❖ █ ⋮ many had thought it was the strains of ebola that had been spreading, but this was
x❖ █ ⋮ different. not only were those infected getting sick physically, but even mentally and
x❖ █ ⋮ habitually they started to change. they had become angry, hostile; some falling into their
x❖ █ ⋮ basic instincts of human behavior. although, at the time there were only a handful of
x❖ █ ⋮ infected victims, paranoid hysteria was already taking over society.
x❖ █ ⋮
x❖ █ ⋮ not a single doctor or engineer could come up with a pharmaceutical that would work to
x❖ █ ⋮ cure the virus, or even stop the spread of it. so, in an attempt to contain the virus, the
x❖ █ ⋮ united states came up with a protocol of containment. anyone who was tested positive
x❖ █ ⋮ for this new and unknown virus was sent to a secluded military base in southern arizona.
x❖ █ ⋮ what used to be a training ground for the military was now a medical quarantine. fort
x❖ █ ⋮ huachuca, as well as it’s town of sierra vista, was closed off except for the doctors,
x❖ █ ⋮ scientists, and containment personnel who were in charge of the infected individuals
x❖ █ ⋮ there.
x❖ █ ⋮
x❖ █ ⋮ experiment after experiment was put through trial and error to try and eradicate the virus.
x❖ █ ⋮ there were some that had come close, but in the end, the virus seemed to mutate and
x❖ █ ⋮ adapt to whatever chemicals were being put into it. nothing was working, and no one
x❖ █ ⋮ had an answer for what to do.
x❖ █ ⋮
x❖ █ ⋮ it wasn’t until the first death of one of the infected did we start to understand the patterns
x❖ █ ⋮ of behavior of the strain. for reasons that no one could explain, the brain was still active
x❖ █ ⋮ once everything else pretty much turned off in the corpse’s body. signals were still being
x❖ █ ⋮ sent from the brain, but there was a lack of any kind of judgement; it was all basic
x❖ █ ⋮ instincts. and because no one knew how to handle it, those in charge of the operation
x❖ █ ⋮ opted to keeping these walking corpses alive to run experiments.
x❖ █ ⋮
x❖ █ ⋮ unfortunately, in the midst of running a test, one of those reanimated lashed out at one
x❖ █ ⋮ of the doctors. it was a violent outburst that could only be described as barbaric; it
x❖ █ ⋮ seemed to try to eat the doctor, scratching and biting him several times before the
x❖ █ ⋮ situation was contained. again, there was no explanation. but then, as days and weeks
x❖ █ ⋮ passed, that same doctor started showing signs of the virus. in a matter of safety, the
x❖ █ ⋮ team had decided to burn the experiments, taking only bits of dna, and focusing on
x❖ █ ⋮ those who had not yet died from it to try and find answers.
x❖ █ ⋮
x❖ █ ⋮ that was the greater downfall, though. as those bodies were burned, a spore was lifted
x❖ █ ⋮ into the air from the flames. it went unseen by the human eye, everyone at the base had
x❖ █ ⋮ continued their work and experiments. all of them were unbeknownst to the infected air
x❖ █ ⋮ they were breathing. eventually, they had all become infected except for a small number
x❖ █ ⋮ of people who seemed to have a natural resilience to it. unfortunately, there was no time
x❖ █ ⋮ to test the how and why, as everything was falling apart. some of the new infected were
x❖ █ ⋮ quicker to fall, and turn into a walking undead. eventually, it spread to the point that all of
x❖ █ ⋮ sierra vista had fallen victim, and it was only spreading worse.
x❖ █ ⋮
x❖ █ ⋮ some of these zombies were different, advanced and evolved even. it appeared that the
x❖ █ ⋮ experiments run, and the chemicals that were supposed to be used as cures were
x❖ █ ⋮ mutating the dna of the virus. these certain zombies were stronger, had different
x❖ █ ⋮ behaviors--some even smarter. and when those certain evolved creatures infected
x❖ █ ⋮ another, the victims would take on the same behavior. it was utterly out of control.
x❖ █ ⋮
x❖ █ ⋮ meanwhile, other locations across the world that had also run their tests were having the
x❖ █ ⋮ same complications. not to mention those who had fell through the cracks of
x❖ █ ⋮ containment, never being reported and sent to quarantine, were dying and spreading the
x❖ █ ⋮ virus. and every time one was killed off, the spores were released into the air. between
x❖ █ ⋮ those being physically infected, or by the spores, the virus simply spread unrestrained.
x❖ █ ⋮
x❖ █ ⋮ as time went on, society as we know it fell apart. without a stable system in place to
x❖ █ ⋮ keep order, it had become every man for themselves. riots, chaos, battle for dominance
x❖ █ ⋮ had taken place all over. between surviving the zombie like creatures, as well as those
x❖ █ ⋮ taking advantage of the collapse of government, no one was safe--from anything.
x❖ █ ⋮
x❖ █ ⋮ our story takes place in the hot desert valley of phoenix, az. it is about 200 miles from
x❖ █ ⋮ fort huachuca, and substantially heavy in zombies. over the past year, survivors have
x❖ █ ⋮ had to learn how to survive not only from the virus, but the harsh and hot weather of the
x❖ █ ⋮ desert. without the luxurious amenities of air conditioning and climate control, it can
x❖ █ ⋮ become unbearable sometimes in the summer; temperatures easily reaching into the
x❖ █ ⋮ 120s fahrenheit.
x❖ █ ⋮
x❖ █ ⋮ two major groups have taken up territory, along with several, unnamed and smaller
x❖ █ ⋮ groups. one group has taken up the title of the benevolent; a close knit faction of
x❖ █ ⋮ survivors who believe everyone should work together to get through the hard times. they
x❖ █ ⋮ are rather peaceful and try to help any who are in need. the other major group call
x❖ █ ⋮ themselves nefarious. run by a single, iron fist man, this crew has taken the darker side
x❖ █ ⋮ of survival. they take what they want, no matter the cost and with no real moral code to
x❖ █ ⋮ doing so. anyone not in either of the two have been titled as vagrants. lone wanderers,
x❖ █ ⋮ or small groups that have yet to fall in step with any faction.
x❖ █ ⋮
x❖ █ ⋮ in the end, everyone has been forced to make hard decisions, and find new ways of
x❖ █ ⋮ living. it is all about staying alive, but by what means...
x❖ █ ⋮
