	   Humanity has been living in their comfortable lifestyle in a world that has become overly dependent on technology. That's a problem. Bacterias and viruses are adapting to our antibiotics faster than scientists expected. United States of America and her allies knew that there was a possible that another outbreak could have the same effects as the Spanish Flu and the recent Ebola Outbreak. Hundreds of peoples were infected all over the world and thousands more in West Africa. The citizens in West Africa went into a state of panic, turning on each other and attacking them military. Eventually, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were able to make a vaccine before more got inflected; however, West Africa had been affected the most by the outbreak. The region was affected forever as people were getting sick and the governments couldn't handle the pressures and collapsed. 

The United States of America were worried about a possible outbreak hitting America resulting in the collapse of their government. That was when a presidential directive was quietly signed into law as a response to the entire situation. It's known as Directive 18, a directive that puts forth several plans for the US government and military in case of an outbreak in the country. The public does not know of the directive's existence and the plans developed. However, the CDC and American government partnered up to issued preparedness messages to watch for the warning signs of any virus outbreak. And they also started a massive nationwide health campaign that is making positive changes to personal health and personal hygiene in America. Meanwhile, the United States Military also started several programs of their own about health and maintaining control during an outbreak, becoming more strict as a result.

It had been seven years since the last major outbreak to occurred in the world. The world handled itself during minor outbreak and illnesses but what if the world was introduced to a different kind of virus? A virus that has the ability to kill and revive its target. No one has the answers or the cure to this questions but it will happen. Either in a small town or a large metropolis, the virus will spread and slowly wipe out its target. In doing so, the virus will cause fear and selfish intentions to take over the avenge person. Will the government be able to deal with the most powerful virus that mankind ever face? Or will it be another chapter of mass extinction for man? Can the people manage to save civilization? 

Or will it be too late to save it?

	   This version of Earth takes viruses and illnesses serious enough that the American government introduced a classified presidential directive addressing the possibility of another massive outbreak. While in the public eye, they have spent millions on campaigns and ads that deal with the situation. Basically, the world has become a control freak over the general population about being clear. However, the world will not know what to do about this new type of virus especially during the beginning. 

You guys will be playing citizens who have to deal with the end of civilization.

	   Baltham, Washington was founded two days after the state had become the 42nd state on November 11, 1889. The city is apart of the Bainbridge Island metropolitan area, which has a population of 130,000. Bainbridge Island has 304,000. The increased in population landed in the second largest city in Washington, beating Spokanea. Baltham was named the fourth-best place to live in the United States in 2020. Both cities are becoming an increasingly affluent bedroom community of Seattle, a 35-minute ride away on the Washington State Ferries. Tourists often found themselves spending time at the island and the city used that to make a profit. They spend more time at Baltham than Bainbridge Island.

Baltham is home to the headquarters of many small and large businesses, many of which are technology companies that started in the 1990s. The city has numerous thriving commercial districts, including one shopping center: Zemreaft Mall. It has one small hotel located in the middle of Baltham and Bainbridge called, Sweet Bay Hotel; Bainbridge has three hotels. Myriad development of major retail, residential, and revitalization projects are amidst planning, in construction, or have been successfully executed in both cities. The growth has resulted in the city council to start construction on a waterfront boardwalk and marina in the late 1990s. The boardwalk was just finished a couple months ago and it expends to both cities' coastlines. A waterfront multimodal bus/ferry terminal soon opened in 2002 and allowed people to travel to Settle in thirty-five minutes. 

Both cities are continuing to grow still as more people moved away from small town to large cities. It's expected that in five years, Baltham will reach 200,000 and Bainbridge Island will hit 350,000. The cities also have set a high standard for other cities in America to follow in health and cleanliness. There are five different hospitals in the city and they are capable of handling any outbreak that happens. Bainbridge is currently the healthiest city in America, following by Baltham and Dallas.
