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?

You put your pistol away. He then trips you, and he yells,"Friend, or Foe?" He sounds Russian. Then, he does a push up in front of you.

He puts his gun away, but you see this as a chance, and you trip him and yell,"Friend, or Foe?" In a Russian accent. You do a push up after you trip him, which doesn't affect anything.
By the way, whoever makes the first post when a multi-player situation happens like this, makes the first action.

You say,"Friend, comrade." He helps you up, and smiles. He pats you on the back.

You ask him to be your companion. He doesn't reply to your question, and he asks for your name. _________________________________________________________________ Name: Sergie HP: [100/100] Inventory: ---------- Companions: ----------- Strength: 3 Agility: 5 Accuracy: 3 Searching: 1 Survival: 3 ---------- Hunger: [93/100] Thirst: [93/100] Rest: [93/100]
He asks you if you want to join him in his travels, but you ignore his question and ask for his name.
I somewhat recollect the scene and remember the question. I respond with "Yes, companionship. We have to seek shelter and supplies quick." with my characteristic russian accent.
You tell him that you accept his offer for companionship. You tell him that you both need to find supplies quickly. He tells you that his name is Alexander Ivanov, and that he was born in Moscow, Russia. _________________________________________________________________ Name: Alexander Ivanov HP: [97/100] Inventory:Pain Pills/*9mm Pistol[12 bullets]/Sandwich/$40/A bag of chips/bottled water/Pepsi Max/Pocket Knife/6 pieces of 2x2 wood/2 hammers ---------- Companions: Sergie ----------- Strength: 4 Agility: 2 Accuracy: 2 Searching: 2 Survival: 5 ---------- Hunger: [92/100] Thirst: [92/100] Rest: [92/100]
You tell him your name, and that you were born in Moscow, Russia. He says to you,"We need to find supplies quick."
I look at the man, as if he were familiar... I ask him... "Alexander Ivanov? I have a brother named Alexander... You don't happen to be... my brother? I know how weird the question is, but I was born in Moscow, and so was my brother."
