OOC: Since i'm a complete noob here i figured i would write a little something of what happend to my character before the outbreak. If i do anyhting wrong don't hesitate to yell and scream at me.

IC: John Doe paced in front of the tent as his troops came in. He just came back from over seas for an unknown reason. "Stupid government bringing me back for no reason" He thought to himself. The rest of the men came in and stood at attention. " At ease ladys." Said the sargent. When the troops sat down he thought of what to tell them. Finnaly he said, " Apparrently, the govenment wants us back for Homeland security. They must think we weren't a good enough job overseas." Some of the men chuckled as they thought of what had happened in the past months. Thier platoon ahd been credited with capturing a vital city without a single causulity. The disscusion continued until it was time for dinner.....


The next was an early one. At 3:00 AM the alarm sounded and the men assembled. As John stood before them he had no idea what was going on, so he did not have a plan. At 3:15 the commander came out of his tent and everyone saluted in unison. The commander wispered in John's ear, " There's some kind of problem in the city. No one is talking but i have a bad feeling. Some strykers are waiting by the gates for you and your men, they'll take you into the city. Evac any civilians you come accross, and keep ypur weapons ready." As the commander left John started to have the same bad feeling as he looked at his platoon still at attention. "EVERYONE TO THE STRYKERS! WE'RE HEADIN' FOR THE CITY!" John yelled to his men, who quickly boarded and were on thier way into the unknown.

OOC: Thanks, and i intend to use this thread until i catch up to the main story, and then use it if my character gets seperated or something


IC: As the strykers left the camp the men chatted about in the armoured APCs. In all there was 4 of them, each armed with a .50 machine gun, and held 6 men each with full combat gear. They were half-way to the city when something jumped out of the bush on the side of the road. It hit the 2nd stryker and flew back after the impact. 2 seconds after the objects struck the APC John yelled, "OPEN FIRE!" The .50 rang out in short burst as the object was cut into pieces from the .50 bullets. "CEASE FIRE! CEASE FIRE!" yelled the Sarge. Then John and 3 other men got out of the 3rd stryker and walked over to the mauled body. It was in shambals and unreconizable. The men just figered the machine guns tore it to pieces, unknowing what lay ahead.


The rest of the trip the men were silent. After the incedent they didn't want to be caught off guard again. The APC's stopped on a hill over looking the city. John thought if the commander didn't know what was going on, he wanted to try to figure out a plan before he went in. Most of the men got out to stretch and get ready to go into the city. Some thought another country was invading the country, other thought it was a drill, and some didn't think anything about it and thought about other things. John took the rifle scope and looked around. There was a few fires, broken windows, and it seemed as a military checkpoint was set up, but abondoned. He got a sick feeling and had an urge to turn around and head back, but his curiosity got the best of him and everyone loaded up again.


In 5 minutes the strykers were at the entrance to the city. The 4th stryker stayed back at the abandoned checkpoint if anything was going on. The rest of the APC's went into the city and kept going until they reached city square. They didn't see or hear anything. Some might have heard the faint sounds of goans and screams as they stood in city square, but dismissed it as the 1st stryker fired up it's engine to head for the tallest building. The 2nd APC went on a patrol around the city and the 3rd one with Sargent John stayed at the city square. It was a small park and the stryker was parked right in the middle to serve as a forward command post. Yet, still none suspected of the danger that was right beneth thier feet, constently moving through the cities sewers.

At the checkpoint the ranking officer was Cpl. Baily. He and his men were ordered to guard the entrance to the city as the rest of the platoon searched the city. Most of the men belived this was just a drill as there was weapons, shell casings and clothing scattered around the checkpoint. Cpl. Baily lit up a cigerate as it started to get cold, even though it was only 2:00 P.M. As he put the cigerrate in his mouth one of his men yelled, " UNKNOWN AHEAD!" The Cpl. quickly brought up his rifle and looked in the scope. His cigerrate dropped to the ground still burning as he was in shock of what he saw. It was the body from before, and it was running straight at them. He yelled to two of his men, " OPEN UP ON THE SON OF A BITCH!" The men quickly fired 2 shots each into the head of the creature. Baily went to his radio and called the forward command post set up at city square. As he started talking, he didn't realize one of his men inspecting a half-open manhole cover.



At the forward command post the men heard rifle shots ring out through the city. They heard it quite well as the city seemed to be abandoned. Then the men heard the checkpoint come over the field radio, " This is Checkpoint Delta. Forward Command Brovo come in." Sargent Doe went over the the radio and responed, " This is Forward Command Brovo. What is your status Checkpoint Delta?" "We just intercepted that body from before. Over" "What do you mean body corprol?" "Well Sir, it was all mutalated and running straight at us. I had 2 of the men open up on it and it dropped. I have a bad feeling, i think we should....*static*" As the static over took the frequncy the Sargent recieved another transmission from 1st Stryker.


OOC: I"m going to put this one paragraph here so everyone knows what happend to Checkpoint Delta

IC: While the corprol was talking to the Sarge, a soldier was inspecting a half-open manhole cover. It seemed suspicius and let's say this soldier loved a mystery. As the soldier leaned into the manhole looking into the sewers, something jumped up and pulled him down, as the soldier yelled all the way. The rest of the soldiers except for the corprol were looking at the manhole cover. Some were in shock, one yelled, "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO REVEES?!?" That's when 14 of the creatures jumped out and started attacking the soldiers. The ones that did get a shot off were the first to go. The corprol was one of the first to be killed hence causeing the static.


As the 1st stryker rolled through the city streets to the International Bank, the men were typically at ease, not knowing what happened to Checkpoint Delta. There was a soldier on the .50 but, he wasn't paying attention to eyes watching the APC from the alleys and buildings waiting for the perfect time to strike. The stryker arrived at the bank at about 3:30 P.M., as it was on the other side of the city and they had to make detours due to the roadblocks on major streets. They pulled into the front of the bank and the commanding officer, PFC. Boune radioed to the Forword Command Brovo, "We've arrived at Vantage Point Charlie. We're sending snipers to the roof, the driver and gunner are staying with the stryker and the rest of us are going to the 8th floor." "Confirmed Vantage Point Charlie, make sure to be on the lookout for anything strange." "Why is that Sarge?" "Well, Checkpoint Delta was hit by something and we aren't getting any radio contact from them so just stay frosty. Over and out" The PFC. was feeling nervous now as he felt pain for Delta and felt as he was being watched. But, he dissmissed these thoughts and lead his men into the building leaving the driver and gunner by themselves in the open, unknowing they were surronded from all sides except for up......

As the second stryker rolled down the road everyone inside was nervous. This wasn't a drill or a regular war. They knew that from listening to all the radio traffic going on that there was something strange in this city. The leader was about to say something to try to get the men to talk while the stryker was stopped when the machine gun opened up. "THEY"RE EVERYWHERE!!!! GET MOVING! GO,GO!!!" The gunner yelled, as the stryker lurched down the road. The stryker had a chance of flipping over everytime the driver made a turn, and the machine never stopped for longer then 5 seconds. The leader spoke up after a sharp turn saying, "Ryan! Open that escape door! Lets see whats chasing us." As the PVT. opened the door one of the creatures lurched forword and grabed him and pulled him out, as he yelled for help. The leader got up quickly and closed the door not wanting to lose another man to the beasts. But he never got a chance to lock the door as the stryker hit a pot-hole and flipped over on it's side. Within moments the APC was covered in zombies trying to open the door to get to the live humans. For once the machinegun went silent as the gunner was ripped from his postion and turned into a walking corpse.

"This is Vantage Point Charlie, requesting permission to speak.", Said PFC. Boune. "Go ahead." Said John. " Well Sir, I'm not liking the vibe from this place, I deeply think we should pull out. We've been listening to everything on the radio and I think this was a bad idea." "Alright privite, we're pulling out. Get everyone together and get over to Town Square. Once your here we'll pull out." "Got it Sarge, be there in two clicks." The PFC then yelled, "Alright everyone were headin out! Grab your gear and let's get out of thie hell hole! Everyone grabed thier gear and ran into the stryker as the engine reaved.

Back at the Town Sqaure everyone was gearing up and getting ready to pull out. They already lost 12 men and no one else was going to be turned into a monster. As soon as the last man geared up the 1st stryker pulled up, and the PFC. popped out of the back yelling over the engine, "No contacts the whole way! Let's get out before they come!"

The two APC's rolled out of the city everyone silent. At that moment gunfire erupted and rounds were bounching off the stryker. The .50's opened up on the unknown target and in a few minutes it was quite again. John and PFC Boune got out of thier strykers and saw the enemy. They were horrified.

John and another soldier looked at the bodies. They were humans. They weren't like the creature from before but humans. "Gather the weapons.", John said to the soldier. As the soldier was picking up the weapons the .50 on the stryker started firing. John looked over and saw creatures running toward the APC. Most were being cut down, but the soldiers had to move. John and the soldier ran to the stryker, making it aboard seconds before the monsters ran into the side of it. "Move it! we have to get back to base!" yelled John.


The stryker arived at base at about 6:00 P.M. When they got there, it was empty. No one there, all the trucks gone. The tents and buildings remained."Everyone gather what you want and put some civilian clothes on! And remeber to keep your dog tags!"John yelled. Then John and his remaining troops searched everywhere for useful items. John went into his tent and grabs his gear and personal items. When all the men were done they made a circle in the middle of the base. "Alright, it seems we've been left. So gather everything up, we're heading for higher ground. Maybe if we're lucky, we can catch up with everyone else."

"Only 7 guys left. Damn" John thought to himself. Everyone stayed quiet in the APC. John lit a ciggerate and started to think how this could happen. It happened so fast, it couldn't have been a accident. It must have been an attack. But from who?

"Sir! You might want to see this!" John jumped on the top of the stryker to the gunners spot. In the distince he saw another military base. "Let's go." John said quietly thinking of revenage, as the stryker roared to life.
