Humanity has always overturned the bad events that have happened to them in the past. Natural disasters, diseases, hunger, prosperity, and many more problems that have risen in the past. Humans succeed at anything they try for, and when they do, its such a huge morale boost to the world when something is done right, like when the first man set foot on the moon. Yes, it was in America and the American president made this his dream, but it was a global success.
Humanity usually finds a way to surpass something that could possibly destroy the world and all the effort put into it to make it the way it is today.
Now, a disease spreads once more, worse than any other plague humans have ever faced. It doesn't just kill. No. It goes beyond destroying the memories and souls of the humans, and brings them back to such a demonic state. They turn into mindless zombies, who stagger and lurch in the streets and feed off of the living.
Doctors have tried to find cures, but most think it is a waste of time and believe everyone should just accept what is happening and give up and get eaten. Not you. Not your organization. Or what it used to be.
You were a lab assistant for a company that was called NecroBorgia Labs. Its a corny name, and you never really thought you belonged there, but you ended up there anyways. They had maybe 100,000 workers there, and they all were always trying to create a vaccine. You thought they were stupid for creating it, and asked them why they made it, but they always told you that you and the rest of humanity needed it one day. You thought it was a ridiculous thought, but you never questioned any more after they told you that. Its not like you cared, you were getting payed $700 an hour just for standing around and making sure people didn't blow up in your face after they drink or inject a vaccine. But now you know exactly why they told you about the vaccine and why it would save humanity.
Here you are, standing in the middle of an empty apartment. You have no items, no friends you know who are alive, and no idea what to do next... or do you?

Now I'll go around and try to lock the doors and windows on the first floor. I check to see if the water and electricity work, and I try to jam some furniture up against the first floor doors, and close any curtains or drapes.

"Who are you?" She says. She doesn't seem startled. Then, she pounds you with a thousand questions. "Wait... how did I survive? And who are you? Why is it so dark in here? Am I dead? Where are the zombies? Did they follow me? Where is my sister? Where is my mother and father? Is this heaven? Oh god.. this is hell, isn't it? I don't want to be in hell!" She starts to cry. How come every one you meet is crazy? What will you do?

(It's because I just have that natural old-time charm, lol. )
I talk in a very calm, friendly voice. "Calm down, calm down. You're alive and safe with me. The zombies aren't here anymore. Now, let me just turn up a light for you." I walk over and turn on a light. "Now, I need you to listen for one short moment, and I want you to stay calm, ok? I need you to tell me who this woman is." I describe the woman I mercy-killed.
