...ee Earth. This is Radio Free Earth...

Four fifths of the world are dead.

They came, not all at once, but randomly.

Randomly the dead crawled out of their graves to attack and eat the living.

Too quickly did the blight spread for the vast armies of the world to mount an coordinated defense.

Too scattered were the initial attacks for the formidable supernatural creatures of the world to believe these dead things to be a threat.

To complacent were the people, believing that this was someone else's problem. Right until it crawled out of their ground, right until it broke down their front door.

First one place, then another. The survivors of one town would run to the next, where they were told it was safe. Told there were no Risen there. Told to fortify and wait.

Told that help will come.

This is Radio Free Earth. This is Radio Free Earth. Run and manned by the 6th Light Brigade of the Second Ohio Volunteer Infantry Division. We broadcast on multiple civilian HAM frequencies in sequential order. We are set to receive on civilian emergency and national guard frequencies.

We are stationed in Columbus. Do not come here. The entire area is heavily infested. I repeat. Columbus is compromised. Avoid Franklin County entirely. Lima, Toledo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Youngstown and Findlay are entirely overrun. Their remaining civilian and military personnel have been evacuated. Head to the Dayton Safe Zone in the west or Stubenville and Pittsburgh safe zones in the east.

Update: The Dayton Safe Zone has been compromised. What is left of the 114th Armored Cav. and what's left the Third Ohio Volunteer Division are pulling back SSE and trying to make it into northern Kentucky. If you are in the area of Dayton try to head west as north, east and south of you are heavily infested.

Once again this is Radio Free Earth. We broadcast on multiple civilian HAM frequencies in sequential order. We are set to receive on civilian emergency and national guard frequencies. If anyone is still getting this, good luck and Godspeed. This is a recording.

crackle-ello?

Hello? Second Ohio Volunteer, this is the Fifth Mechanized Division. Respond.

Second Ohio Volunteer, this is the Fifth Mechanized Division. Respond.

....

*click*Fifth, this is the Second. Thank god, we've heard nothing from anyone for almost a week.

Second, this is colonel Highwall of the 119th Mechanized Brigade. What's left of the brass are trying to contact and organize intact military formations. What's your status son?

*click*Bad sir, the Eleventh Light and most of the Second Mechanized Battalion are trapped here in Columbus, we got around five thousand people with us. The Fourteenth Battalion is with the Sixth Light Brigade and the 442 Armored Troop are up in Delaware, they have about thirty thousand civvies in a small safe zone. We're all dug in and supplied, but both the Sixth and the Ninth are running at about 40% of the warm bodies we're supposed to have.

Not the worst I've have heard, at least you can feed yourselves.. Though I must ask. What about... Parabiological support?

*click*... Parabiological? We have dead people eating living people, but I sneaking suspicion that doesn't count. Does it?

-sigh- No son, it doesn't. as hard as it is to believe. There are mages, honest to God mages. We have several cabals seconded to us from Lexington and Baltimore. If you believe that.

*click*I can believe it sir.

Good. I've had contact with CO's who can't. I know it's a large pill to swallow, but we have dead people who won't stay dead, is anything else to much of a stretch?

*click*Sir. The existence of anything else isn't to hard for me. My pack are the Plain City Reavers. I'm a werewolf.
