Spring 2010
After a short and bloody regional war between several small countries in the archipelago, life is starting to come back out of the hiding places it was in during the conflict.
One small problem...
some of it isn't alive!
As the conflict raged on above the surface, the populations hid in bunkers and caves to stay away from the multitudes of death dealing weapons. Chemical, biological, and nuclear devices were used by both sides in their struggle to destroy each other. Seemingly all that is left are two small divisions of the islands warring armies. After their leadership was wiped out during the struggle, the remaining units decided to call a cease fire after the emerging populace started to have side effects to the onslaught of radiation and mutagens.
Both armies formed elite units to deal with the new threat. They began to compete for existing resources to help stem the flow of the mutated civilian 'dead walkers'.
The first case was reported in Paraiso at the hospital. A patient was brought in with massive trauma to their body and subsequently died during the attempt to save their life. Shortly after the body was declared missing by the hospital staff and the attending physician was found dead in the morgue, his entrails apparently ripped from his body. Slowly, more hospitalized patients began to disappear. The overworked hospital staff finally caught one patient roaming the halls and found that their eyes were open but they were not all there. After a short but bloody fight to restrain the patient, two doctors that were bitten during the struggle noticed that they were weak and having trouble breathing. Within hours they were in comas and died. The mutagen began to evolve, growing ever faster in its ability to jump from host to host. Before the remaining military could stop it, the whole island began to overflow with the apparently reanimated dead. By the end of the week a bite victim would reanimate within seconds of death. The last remaining civilian population retreated to the military bases on the island, but those two were overrun before long.
The military factions retreated to their island bunkers and began to regroup their forces in an effort to contain the threat to the main islands. The West forces retreated to the southernmost island and the eastern forces retreated to the northernmost island. Short on supplies and personnel, they recruited able bodied civilians into their ranks. Unable to simply hand them the military hardware without some understanding that they would use it correctly, the military simply handed a person a simple sidearm with the promise of cash for every kill they could commit against the new threat. As civilians began their attack on the undead, they were quickly able to purchase more and more sophisticated hardware. As well as finding discarded equipment from the previous battles laying about the island.
The war still rages against the undead menace. Choose a side and get to killing!
