Polin, Eraphalia
Site Alpha
It was a rather cool day in Eraphalia, the winds timid and the temperature comfortable enough to not warrant thick clothing. Despite the events that transpired two days ago, life continued onwards the best it could. The children and teenagers relished their sudden luxury times, unconcerned with the events of the wide-world. As the youth relaxed and played with little to no concern, the adults murmured amongst themselves anxiously. Traffic was totally nonexistent as the city relayed new sudden lays banning private transportation. Some people snorted at that and attempted to drive, some even daring to attempt to drive out of the city, but each effort was halted. There were rumors that people were shot in the attempt of breaking the law. It's an unusual thing, very unusual enough to halt anyone with a rebellious heart.
There were many rumors abound, but not many gained traction. There were debates arguing what was exactly going on. Soon enough from the mix of confusion came out several theories. One of them... was the theory about zombies. At first, this was seen as a joke, but it gained traction. What else could there be? A infectious disease? As the debates raged on and the fear compounding on itself, some citizens started to gather and plot amongst themselves. One could only guess what they were doing.
In some areas, there were activity from the military. Those activities deviated from the normal containment procedures that the Eraphalian Army seemed to be taking. Large numbers of soldiers were deployed into neighborhoods, obscure areas, and even a couple of the hospitals. Their actions conveyed urgency as they stormed into areas with guns primed to fire. Anyone that protested against intrusions in their homes, into neighborhoods, into medical sites, were arrested on site. It became clearer and clearer that the military were taking more drastic actions as the days dragged on.
One area, known simply as Site Alpha, was especially contained by the military and the police force. Above in the skies hovered helicopters scanning the area. On top of the rooftops of apartment buildings were infantry lined up, scanning the ground below for any sign of what they were doing. From periods of time, large streams of soldiers would enter into the site, each carrying equipment deviating from the norm. All-covering suits, gas masks, and extra ammunition. It was like there was a war zone being carried out at the site.
The responses to this were the rumors of rebellion and the strengthening of ridiculous arguments. Logic seemed to start to shake as people grew more and more anxious. Their fears threatening to overwelm them, to take control of their thinking. They had to know what was going on. And, despite the comforting words from the government, so they gathered around Site Alpha. Citizens with curiosity clouding their minds. They had to know what was happening. The increasing urgent responses from the military only urged them forward. As they approached the borders of Site Alpha, they noted the stench of death and the sounds of gunshots. As they approached Site Alpha, a line of riot officers formed in front of the gathering crowd.
As the military officials received word of the events that were transpiring, as the citizens started to take proactive steps, as the situation in Site Alpha started to expand beyond what was manageable, it started.
