TRIBULATIONS
STORY THREAD
-Plot-
______________________________________
August 2010
Mere months after the viral outbreak in Dark Falls, in the nearby town of Southgate, Montana
There is a wave of missing persons reports
Prisoners at the maximum security prison are reported missing, presumably they escaped
Patients at the home for the mentally ill are also reported missing
Soon, terminally ill patients at the hospital begin to vanish, and their bodies are never found
Then, from the streets of Southgate, many ordinary citizens begin to disappear
No one is safe. Even the police report that some of their own have gone missing
September 2010
The tide of missing persons reports begins to ebb
The crimes were never solved, however
Later on, health inspectors shut down the water treatment facility due to code violations
Water is pumped in from elsewhere to compensate
Then.....
People begin to get really sick.
October 2010
The entire town of Southgate, Montana is quarantined by the Federal Government.
An outbreak of the Omega virus has rendered the city uninhabitable
The President of the United States is forced to make the call
The entire town of Southgate, Montana must be sterilized.
Only nuclear weapons are known to be effective in completely wiping out the virus
But Congress is still divided. The Hawk Party of the United States, although normally quite willing to take drastic measures
Opposes the current President and seeks to regain control of the Presidency in 2012
They declare the current President to be soft on global terrorism
Yet too willing to use nuclear arms on his own citizens
The current President gives an address and states that in an emergency such as this
He has the authority to unilaterally make this decision
But that he does not want to proceed without first consulting Congress
Putting the question back to them, and forcing a partisan debate
Meanwhile, the people of Southgate are suffering and dying
And when they die, their bodies do not remain still
Within a week, the bodies begin to rise
Soon, the living who have shown no signs of illness suddenly turn
And the infected begin to attack and consume whatever is in their path
The chaos is unimaginable, and no one is allowed to evacuate
Martial law is declared, and rioting in the streets reaches a fevered pitch
Days later.... the riots end
As the voices of the uninfected slowly are silenced
And replaced with moaning
And gnashing
And chomping
But not all of the citizens of Southgate were affected.
A few dozen people wake up scattered throughout the town
With no memory of the events of the past two months
And find that they are unaffected by the virus, they appear to be immune
They find that escape from Southgate is quite impossible
It is as though someone erected a massive, invisible force field around the city
Which they cannot penetrate
If they try to leave, their bodies become weak, and they lose all muscle control, and cannot breathe
Something is preventing them from leaving.
Or Someone.
It's obvious that the Umbrella corporation was involved somehow, but
Southgate Montana is actually home to one of the largest SynTech Systems research facilities in the United States
And they have been known to operate with the same reckless disregard for human life as Umbrella.
There are definitely other players involved, but it isn't immediately clear how they are involved.
But one thing is clear:
The survivors of Southgate must free themselves and escape the city
Before they are all consumed by the zombie horde.
