So I will be opening a multitude of options for characters, whether they are civilian or military personnel, which will help dictate the course of the plot. The story will not be beginning in Truth or Consequences as the outbreak has already broken out of the confinement. Specialist teams are likely to be dead or turned into the opposition as the highest authorities and specialist units were used in the initial outbreak. You are likely to see the regular military in most places, and if we are taking the setting in North America/Central America then it is likely that the characters would be of a more localised descent if they are military-based. Other nations will be dealing with their own small pandemics and closing off their borders in order to contain the beast that hides within.
