THIS SHATTERED SYMPHONY,
HEY YOU! YOU'RE NEW AROUND HERE, AREN'T YOU? WELL WELL...CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING IT HERE ALIVE. I ASSUME YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN LIVING ON MARS FOR THE PASSED FIVE YEARS. JUST IN CASE, HERE'S AN UP-TO-DATE BRIEFING TO BRING YA UP TA SPEED. AN' HEY...ONE MORE THING. DESPITE WHAT YOU MIGHT'VE HEARD, JUST CAUSE WE'RE IN A CAMP DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE SAFE. NO WHERE'S SAFE ANYMORE….
WELCOME TO ALASKA.

THE WORLD HAS BEEN ENGULFED IN A FAST GROWING VIRUS THAT HAS CONSUMED THE LIVES OF AN ESTIMATED 96% OF EARTH'S POPULATION. THE VIRUS NAMED AVA23V STARTED OFF AS A MIRACLE CURE FOR CANCER IN 2011, BUT WAS SOON REALIZED TO BE A FORM OF A VIRUS THAT SLOWLY STOPS YOUR HEART AND ALL OTHER VITAL ORGAN FUNCTION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BRAIN, CAUSING THE PATIENT TO BE DEAD, YET ALIVE. LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT THESE NEWLY RISEN BEINGS. THEY HAVE AN UNQUENCHABLE HUNGER FOR HUMAN TISSUE, PARTICULARLY THE VITAL ORGANS. THESE CREATURES--OR AS SCIENTISTS ARE CALLING THEM, REVENANTS—ARE HIGHLY DANGEROUS. THEY ARE STRONGER, MORE CUNNING, AND MORE VICIOUS THAN HUMANS. TO FEED IS THEIR PRIMARY MOTIVATION.
THE OUTBREAK QUICKLY CLAIMED A LARGE CHUNK OF EARTH'S POPULATION IN ITS FIRST COUPLE MONTHS, LEAVING GHOST TOWNS OF THE WORLDS ONCE MOST-POPULATED CITIES IN ITS WAKE. IN 2012, THE POPULATION WAS AT AN ESTIMATED 7 BILLION. BY 2015, IT HAS SHRUNK DOWN TO AN ASTONISHING ESTIMATED 500 MILLION; 37% OF THEM BEING REVENANTS. THE WORLD POPULATION HASN'T BEEN SO LOW SINCE THE MID 1600S, AND IS STILL RAPIDLY DECREASING.
