PROBLEM:
Within
the
past
couple
weeks,
something
very
strange
has
happened.
Possibly,
the
CDC
mistakenly
released
a
deadly
virus
or
bacteria.
Maybe
a
supernatural
spell
opened
the
door
to
demons.
Maybe
an
alien
broadcast,
or
alien
probe,
or
massive
solar
storms
released
mega-doses
of
radiation.
Whatever
the
cause,
strange
new
species
and
life
forms
are
beginning
to
emerge.
All
forms
of
power
and
communication
have
been
knocked
out.
As
society
collapses,
it's
up
to
your
team
to
survive
and
thrive.
