Survival: Day One (OOC/Sign Ups)

Rumors have begun circulating of an unknown virus originating from the southeast Asian sector of the world, codenamed A.R.E.S. Details about A.R.E.S are slim to none, the small snippets available hint that it began as an attempt to delve into creating a cure for mental diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, attempting to rewire the programming of the neurons to ignore the damaged circuits/pathways and create new ones. News has been quiet; but, rumors have begun circulating on the web about the militaries of the region beginning to mobilize and martial law being enforced.

Domestic travel has been suspended temporarily to the entire Southeastern region of the globe; but, new cases have begun appearing in other portions of the world. The latest confirmed case, nicknamed Patient Twelve (the twelfth confirmed case), was reported checking into Mercy General in the Bronx. Media outlets have been prohibited access and the Surgeon General has warned the public not to panic, there is no cause for alarm.

Of course, this had the opposite effect and people began fleeing the city in droves and mass hysteria followed. Lawlessness has quickly spread across the United States, the President declaring martial law and mobilizing all National Guard forces.

As the world begins to go to shit, this is SURVIVAL: DAY ONE.
