An unknown virus has spread during the rush of Black Friday all over America, especially New York City. None knows about the virus, how many are affected, and how far it will spread. 8.4 million currently live in the Big Apple, the largest city population in the United States of America. If a virus outbreak happens, it would take about seventy two hours to spread all over. The government has plans in place to prevent this from happening and one of them is Operation Isolate. Isolate off different parts of major cities with high rates of infected people.
We will be playing as citizens of New York City and watch as cases of the 'flu outbreak' appear. We don't know what will happen during the first week of the outbreak. The government, police, and all of them will either be confused or collapse among with the entire city. My mother used to have this saying when something like happens:
"Everything dies for a reason we can't possibly know."
Reference Notes
- The outbreak won't result in the formation of zombies (unless we change out minds). Instead, the victim will get very sick during the first couple hours. During the hours, the victim will experience flu-like symptoms and doctors would normally give you just medicine to help and send you home. However, there's a strain of the smallpox virus with no functional vaccine (and/or cure).
- There are some people who are immune to catching this virus, but they are largely in the minority and taken by the military to be studied on.
- We will be starting within hours before the first cases are reported in to the media. Meaning, that our characters will be in for a surprise.
- The name of the virus is The Washington Flu. The nicknames are Dollar Pox, Money Pox, Wages of Sin, Buck Flu, Dollar Flu, Dollar Bug, Cash Pox, Small Bill, and The Legal Tender. When people die of this virus, it is known as "cashing out" due to it being spread by money. And the nicknames and the name are based on The Division.
