DAYS AFTER〔M〕〔OOC〕「Hoef & MidKnight」

[Dire Hoef]

No one could've predicted how Y2k really went down..

---

---

This story takes place days after the infamous Y2k disaster in the year 2000. Though instead of the disaster being a cyber blackout, it was a viral super-infection that took the lives of millions upon millions. However, what made this disaster a fullblown apocalypse was the reanimation of corpses and propagation of the virus. Society crumbled at the sheer weight of their numbers, but those still left had a fire that was still lit. This is where Diamond Team came in. They were tasked with uncovering the origin of the virus and finding a cure for said virus. By any means necessary.

INFO STACK

Spoiler: Majestic 12, Diamond Team, and the Prime Directive 

Majestic 12 & the Prime Directive

In the 50s, prior to the Millennium Killer Outbreak, the C.I.A. and D.O.D. were conducting mind experiments on combat personnel to test for possible extrasensory abilities to give them an edge in the Cold War. One such experiment proved to become standard operating procedure, which led to the formation of MAJESTIC 12. Since then, it has operated in the background doing the dirty work for the United States government. That changed when the Millennium Killer Outbreak happened and the US government's top brass fled underground. MJ-12's top dogs weren't told much and were given only one directive: Find the cure. So they rapidly militarized, taking straight from what was left of the US Armory. Their operatives went from simple intel gatherers and brokers to ex-soldiers and contract killers. Without the heads of state to guide their only directive, MJ-12's reigning superviser became THE BOSS and made that directive their only order.

Diamond Team

Diamond Team is one of many five-man squads deployed to RED ZONES all across the globe. Diamond Team, specifically, have been on three tours in the EUROPEAN RED ZONE and five tours in the NORTH AMERICAN RED ZONE. Their experience is among the top ten squads currently operating in the field with a small list of accolades under their belts. Their composition had become a science, allowing for each member of the team to cover blindspots. And even when caught in difficult situations, their scrappiness gives them the advantage.

Current Members of Diamond Team

• Captain Darius Hendelson Scrawl (Squad Lead)
• Staff Sergeant Jade Thorne (Second-in-Command)
• WO3. Damigo Rodriguez (Ordinance Specialist)
• Sgt. Michelle Christy (Marksman)
• Cpl. Jonathan von Karmichael (Combat Life Saver)

Spoiler: The Millennium Killer Virus 

MK-15C, otherwise known as the MILLENNIUM KILLER, is a unknown microphage capable of replicating itself to such a degree that its host rapidly mutates shortly after death.

The infection rate for this unknown virus is 85% with circumstantial evidence pointing to caterization of the wound being the most effective means to avoiding infection. The mortality rate is 95% with ancedotal evidence pointing to heavy antibiotics being the most effective at staving off the virus till dormancy.

Transmission is had through the exchange of bodily fluids. It is highly advised to keep all orifices covered. Additionally, skin contact has been seen as another potential point of transmission.

Symptoms for those infected are Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Abdominal pain, Hemorrhaging, Fever and chills, Shock, and organ failure after six hours of exposure. Most infected do not last more than a day.

As for the dead that reanimate, their strength becomes twofold, capable of throwing smaller men and women like sports balls. Although their endurance and dexterity are lacking. They can be brought down with a well placed shot to the head or a few shots centermass. Explosives and other heavy ordinances are enough to do serious damage to the hordes that form on a biweekly basis. Their proboscises are highly infectious, and they will use those appendages to force it in any orfice it can feel. They do not hesitate, and never fall back. They have zero faculty to strategize an effective counterattack. They care about one thing and one thing only, and that is to propagate itself.

Additionally whenever a horde forms, they leave a fleshy substance behind that produces strange, towering, fungi that release spores over a wide area. These spores can repeat the process in animals and people, but also spread more of the substance; creating a red network.

Spoiler: Active Red Zones 

North American Red Zones

The Mississippi Red Line: The initial days of the outbreak were harsh to say the least, but MJ-12 and surviving security groups were able to form a defensive line along the west bank of the Mississippi River. This line had been fortified with haphazardly placed bases and funnel points that have turned into messy killzones. It remains as America's last real defense against the M-Killers.

The San Antonio Red Zone: San Antonio was put on lockdown after it was discovered that a rogue group of cultists drove a truck full of M-Killers through a border checkpoint in the city. Thankfully the infection had not spread outside of the city and had been contained for now.

The Los Angeles Red Zone: Angels' Resting Place as its called now was also quarantined, but this quarantine failed resulting in most of South California being infected. Containment was achieved when Jade Team pulled a miracle and blew a piece of critical infrastructure skyhigh to stop the hordes advances. Ever since then, this RZ has seen little management.

The Twin Falls Red Zone: Centered on Twin Falls, Idaho, a dirty bomb went off in a middle of the city spreading the virus far and wide. It is unknown who made and detonated the bomb, but the result was rapid containment that was the quickest and bloodiest ever since the formation of the Red Line. It covers the states of Oregon, Washington, and Montana with neighboring southern British Columbia and southern Alberta being swallowed up by it as well.

Brief Biography

As mentioned before, Darius had a troubled upbringing. He was among the neighborhood hoodlums duking it out with the other thugs, but that changed when his father sent him to a boot camp to "get him straight." It did, and the resulting teen was an obedient killing machine capable of putting down someone like a dog. However, that didn't really come into full swing until the Bosnian War in 92' - 95'. But after that, he left the military and started picking up odd mercenary jobs. Although one of those jobs had him unknowingly selected to be a part of Majestic 12. And he didn't really have a choice to refuse the selection. This was right before Y2k.

Brief Biography


As a only child of her family, she did not get along well with her family due to her parent's wanting an arranged marriage from another family. Her parents were from the old country but did not say which since she did not asked. She took a liking to the military of which her father disapprove, saying it is not a woman job to enlist and have business in the military. When the infection had spread, only her father remained alive and the rest of her family had died. Now she watches him from time to time as he drinks himself to death and tries to help him in some ways.
