Zone Division

The Zone Division is the mysterious core of the M-2 defence system responsible for various tasks of the mandatory field deployment. Originally, it was strictly prohibited to leave or enter quarantined territory due to the high risk of contamination. This was the rule for a few months but the authorities quickly realized that contact with the Zone population had to be maintained for various reasons. The solution was a waterproof concept to bring specialized personnel into the Zone and back safely. The Zone Division was born. Its most important tasks can be roughly categorized in the following blocks.

Protection

Escort

Transport

Liquidation

Since Zone Troopers are permanently exposed to extreme dangers, certain safety mechanisms were developed to allow the Division to work in contaminated areas without posing a threat to the integrity of the ▷MCB.

Pulse Detector Implants
With increased understanding of the disease and the propagation of detector technology it became possible to assert the infection status of a subject at extremely high accuracy. Such detectors are permanently carried by Zone Troopers (e.g., in the brain) and determine whether the trooper may re-enter the ▷MCB or any non-quarantined facilities.

Emergency Injection
In the case of an acute infection, the protocol allows the use of highly concentrated ▷Co-60 within the first few seconds. Possible results of this method are death, failure and infection or the successful suppression of a primary infection. If the subject is still alive after a few minutes and no pulse traces can be found, it is safe to conclude that an infection had been avoided. Note that an acquired infection is non-reversible and the trooper is to be discharged instantly and left behind.

Virostatic Infusion
Precautions and heavy armor do not provide unlimited safety in certain areas of the zone. In fact, the members of the Zone Divison fall victim to contaminating incidents on a monthly basis. Since field-trained specialists are a scarce resource, the authorities agreed on certain strategies to increase the efficiency and survival rate of the Co-60 injections. One way to accomplish this, is a regular infusion of low-energy inhibitors (e.g., a diluted version of ▷Tc-99m). It can be observed that some veterans of the Division develope a high resistance to radiation and even immunity to low-dosed infections. Of course, only a few troopers reach that impressive level of adaption, which certainly adds to the creepy aura the Zone Division emits.

Ir-192

Iridium emitter (ca. 500 keV)

Co-60

Cobalt emitter (ca. 2000 keV)

Tc-99m

The metastable isotope Technetium-99m is the main ingredient for the Tc-99m inhibitor. Originally used in the field of nuclear medicine, Tc-99m provides medium supression (ca. 140 keV) and managable long term damage due to its fast decay.

Infection Inhibitor

Inhibitors are used to temporary stall the infection rate during exposure. Depending on the inhibitor type, they do not reduce or cure existing infections. The ▷Zone Division uses strong infection inhibitors during incubation time in the event of a primary infection. If applied quickly, chances are that the virus can be eliminated from the host's body before it can bind permanently. If the virus has fused with a host's nervous system irreversibly, inhibitors are still widely used to contain temporary infection peaks. (e.g, a secondary infection, crossing contaminated areas, weak immune system). Since all inhibitor products contain radioactive substances surpressing the virus' activity, they need to be consumed with additional medications against ARS (acute radiation syndrome) and to minimize long term damage.

The following inhibitors can be aquired.

1908


After having successfully created a high-energy prototype, the project enters the second stage. Since the ▷Virus is supposed to operate autonomously, further experiments are necessary to increase communication abilities. The prototypes are cultivated in order to react to external stimuli in a deterministic way. The procedure spawns several subcategories of hybrid cells which show programmable behavior if assembled in certain configurations. Using this strategy, small networks of hybrid cells are designed to perform primitive tasks. The project enters the final stage. Dozens of stable networks-- each one with billions of cells-- are stored in ▷Containers for further conditioning. To satisfy the increasing energy throughput, the scientists include radioactive material from nearby ▷Mines into the molecular structure.

On the 30th of June-- and the world's most powerful weapon within the scientists' grasp-- one of the final experiments with a high energy subtype causes a far-reaching disaster. In an attempt to test the performance under maximum stress, several networks destabilize, leading to a chain reaction in which the damaged container releases all stored energy. A massive explosion tears the lab to shreds, incinerating any organism within range. Seconds after the first explosion, the shock wave reaches the storage depot, causing hundreds of other containers to share a similar fate. Unable to withstand the final blast, the reinforced ceiling shatters and releases tons of contaminated material into the atmosphere, devastating the surrounding area.

In the chaos of fire and radiation, with clouds of dying hybrid cells roaming free, some of them finally reach their ultimate stage. The virus slowly awakens and commences the task it has been designed for. Survive and destroy. Shortly after the first manifestation of the virus, all survivors of the explosion are fully infected. Due to the hull breach, major parts of the area are also contaminated before the authorities even realize what has happened. In order to keep bystanders away and to exclude a military strike, the government isolates the perimeter to conduct a detailed analysis of the incident. This includes the establishing of an emergency security zone, ▷SC-0, for scientific research around the location that had been identified as ground zero. Not far from the science camps lies the military equivalent, know as ▷M-0, a continuous ring of military camps, watchtowers and electric fences with the only purpose of keeping unwanted visitors outside.
