America has fallen into a Dark Winter...
The day is November Twenty-Second, 2018. The United States of America no longer exists. Five days ago a virus swept through the nations cities, decimating the population. Directive 51 and the Special Homeland Division have been activated. Your mission is to assist the survivors in New York City, suppress violence, and restore order. To this end, I have composed a breifing for you below. It will contain everything you need to know to operate in New York.
The Division was created in 2007 after President George Bush signed Directive 51. We operate under the command of the President of the United States. Division agents are selected from the military, from law enforcement, security firms, survivalists, anyone who has the training to fight and survive in a dog eat dog world. Agents are self equipped, and each has their own special set of skills. They lay as sleepers in everyday life, going about normal lives until their country needs them. Division agents operate independently, but their effectiveness multiplies greatly when they work together.
It appears that the virus that started all of this is an airborne strain with high enviormental tolerances. Though the vector is unknown, it spread very quickly through the populace. Most areas are clean of the virus, while others, "Dark Zones" are not. Take caution when approaching civilians, animals, hostiles, or corpses. You have been issued a rebreather, use this when you enter an enclosed structure or a "Dark Zone." Also use when near other individuals, as they may be carrying the virus. Some symptoms of the virus include:
Coughing
Drowsiness and Lethargy
Sore Throat
High Fever
Diarrhea
Vomiting
It is beleived that once in the bloodstream the virus mutates into an airborne pathogen. The virus has an 80 percent mortality rate.
Joint Task Force: This is a mixed group of National Guard, local and state police, fire and medical services. They lack the manpower to secure the city on their own, but they can hold what we take. Once we clean up an area, the JTF will move into secure it. They have set up refugee camps outside the city and hospitals in the city.
Citizens of New York: They are the reason why you are here. You are to help, protect, and assist them in either leaving the city, surviving in place, or seeking medical aid from the JTF. They may be infected, so take caution in interacting with them.
Survivng United States Government: While much of the government fell and died off, contingency measures are in place, and the U.S. Government still has power. They control the Special Homeland Division, the Joint Task Force, and lead the effort in curing the virus or developing an antidote.
Rikers: Escapees from New York's Rikers Island Prison, these men and women are violent thugs capable of great violence. Often heavily armed, they roam in gangs, attacking every living being they find.
Militias: These are more varied. Some will be hostile to you while some will assist you. The militias are well armed and control strongholds throughout the city. Their views often differ, and can range from the extreme to the mundane.
Burners: This militia is quite possibly the best known. They control many of the gas and fuel stations around the city. Their goal is total extermination of the virus. Anyone who is not a Burner is therefore a vector of the virus and must be eliminated. They are the most heavily armed group in the city. Afted killing, they torch the bodies of the deceased. Fire is their weapon. Tread with caution.
Looters: This is the most numerous group in New York. Every day citizens taking advantage of the chaos to unleash their inner anarchist. Often poorly armed, they pose threats in large numbers.
Zeroes: This is a group shrouded in rumor, if it even exists. The Zeroes are responsible for this catastrophe, and bringing them to justice is a high priority.
The Division will equip you with the following equiptment:
