Chapter 1 – Plague
- Date: March, 2047
- Location: Gori, Georgia
After the supervolcano explosion that happened simultaneously to the destruction of the Enigma at Shikotan, on July 17, 2044, the entire world crumbled with the corporate infrastructure collapsing all across the globe. In the months and years that followed, the survivors salvaged what they could and sought shelter to survive in the harsh, post-apocalyptic world.
Amongst the survivors were Ivo Rinaldi, the former leader of PLM, and Igor Kopylov, an ex-major of the Russian military. Together, they started a colony out of an Enigma vault they captured right after the cataclysm. It is now 2047. Their settlement is thriving but is far from safe. Raiders and looters roam the land, fighting over last scraps of food, fuel and ammunition. Commandeering an abandoned Enigma warship, both men set out on a mission to capture vital resources in the Georgian city of Gori, recently devastated by an earthquake.
Arriving at the destination, they begin to loot a derelict Clayburn Industries base. Igor Kopylov urges Rinaldi to hurry, but Rinaldi’s greed gets the better of him and as he attempts to salvage every last bit of ammunition from the base’s stores, the operation is violently disrupted by a sudden series of tremors. The region, already seismically unstable, shakes like it’s about to be swallowed by the tides of hell and Rinaldi’s team is stuck with no choice but to traverse its remnants in hope of not alerting too much attention to themselves in order to reach a safe spot where the warship could land.
Unfortunately for them, their presence is quickly noticed by the city’s inhabitants, led by David Gelovani, a local warband leader in command of a large militia. He’s none too happy with Ivo Rinaldi escaping with his property. Insults are exchanged, then threats, but Rinaldi knows he has no choice but to press onwards since the resources he carries are vital to his settlement’s survival. A desperate fight breaks out with Rinaldi’s men staving off one assault after another.
At this point, Rinaldi’s attempt to pick the base clean pays off as the team is able to bring down a building with the extra ammunition the men carry in order to bridge a large trench created by a previous earthquake. The beleaguered group finally manages to cross the river north of the city and rallies near an abandoned police station where the warship can land.
During the final minutes of the battle, Gelovani throws everything he has at Rinaldi, but his last ditch attempt to seize the loot back is thwarted and the warship takes off with the precious cargo onboard. As they leave, they hear furious Gelovani swear it’s not the last they’ll hear of him...
The Special Operations story will continue in Update 0.35. Stay tuned!
