CS reference dump.
This takes place in a world where zombies don't exist as a cultural theme. There were no films about hordes of walking corpses, when it started happening no one knew how to process it.
Where the virus came from, no one's sure. It broke out quickly and chaos had already ensued before anyone made an attempt to figure it out. What is understood is that there is a dormant form, and an active form. As far as we know, all survivors carry the dormant form, and when they die, no matter what the cause, they turn. They come back, their mind gone and nothing left but hunger and savagery. When bit by one of these walking corpses, the active form of the virus takes hold. It starts as a fever, and if the fever takes you, you turn. Surviving the fever is a coin toss in the best circumstances.
When the panic first started, there were riots, looters, general public chaos. The military and police were made to keep peace, and there were casualties on both sides. Nobody knew to destroy the brain at the time, and those casualties came back and started another wave of panic. The first cities to be affected fell in less than 48 hours. A competent, organized resistance was never formed, the virus swept through too quickly, across the entire globe. Only the most remote places remained untouched.
You may post CSes here for approval. We'll keep them in a separate thread where they can all be accessed and edited when necessary. Tell me if you'd like me to take care of keeping your CS up to date.
