RECOVERED MILITARY ARCHIVE — YEAR 15 POST-OUTBREAK

SECTION I — ORIGIN

Fifteen years ago, the Revenant Syndrome Virus (RSV) triggered the collapse of global civilization. Infection resulted in rapid biological decay, aggressive behavior, and loss of higher cognition.

Origin remains unconfirmed. Hypotheses include failed bioweapon deployment, environmental mutation, or █████████.

Established within an abandoned industrial metropolis, the District stands as the last structured sanctuary for human survival.

  • Enforcers: Militarized internal security.
  • Workers: Mandatory civilian roles.
  • Undermarket: Active but monitored.

SECTION III — OUTSIDE WORLD
