Introduction

Welcom to the World of the Z, This place is no longer ruled by man, but under the fear by man. The Big Scare has just started, and the number of the Undead is on the rise and will continue to do so.

You are apart of a Reserve Infantry Unit, Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The 1-157. Bravo Company 5th Platoon. The Battalion is nearly formed after the first word of the threat. You've have been assigned under the Command of 1st Lt. Henry A. Tyler, and SSgt Patrick Henderson. You are the Basic Rifleman, Machine-gunner, Wire-man, Medic, etc.

You are are a trained fighting machine... However, you've never trained to fight the living dead. The Ordeal will be life changing and some might not see their families again. But you signed up for this, and you knew or will know the risks with joining.

Hoo'ah! Congratulations, and Welcome to the Fighting 1-157, Gear up and fall in.
