High Alert
Hidden deep within a harsh valley, covered by forests and the harsh mountain wilderness, a city has been developing for over 20 years.
The vast underground civilisation of Libertas, funded by The Urban Independence Corporation (TUIC), is an experimental city and is inhabited by employees of the same company. The city was designed to be a totally independent complex, with all of its energy, food and water being created, recycled and reused with a series of development labs.
However, during an attempt to create a man-made renewable fuel source for powering the massive central generators, due to an incorrect element being brought into the process, a potent mutagenic virus was created. The scientists who came into contact with the liquid created in the subsequent chemical reaction began to transform into unspeakable and violent mutations.
The TUIC immeadiatly responded, despatching a cleanup team to the city to remove the dangerous chemical from the city via a convoy of tankers and destroy it. However, their transmission to company headquarters was intercepted by a rival company, specialising in biological weapons manufacturer who despatched a team of heavily armed mercenaries to ambush the convoy while it is still within the confines of the city. During their assault, one of the trucks was damaged during a collision, and the virus began to infect the inhabitants of Libertas.
This is by no means a perfect story, I just threw it together while watching TV. :rly:
