The Fortune City Disaster
A disaster has occured in Fortune City, Nevada, a entertainment resort of gambling and never-ending partying. The city is made up of casinos, hotels, shops, restaurants, the Arena, where Terror is Reality takes place, and plenty of other attractions that bring in thousands of people every day.

The outbreak occurred a few hours after midnight on September 25, just as a Terror is Reality show was ongoing. Someone, attempting to pose as Chuck Greene, detonated explosives that blew up the cages of the zombies, releasing them into the stadium, lobby, and other parts of the Arena. With chaos and panic everywhere, spectators and employees, men and women, young and old, were being attacked, bitten, killed, and reanimated into zombies. As the number of zombies quickly increased, the Arena over flowed and zombies poured into the streets of Fortune City, with infected civilians who have previously escaped now turning into zombies as well. Soon, within a matter of hours, the entire population, who weren't able to escape via the city's gates, were either killed, zombified, or sent into hiding. The Fortune City Emergency Shelter was opened for any survivors, in which only a dozen made it in, and the rescue effort was initiated, set to arrive three days later to extract survivors from the emergency bunker and begin the extermination of the city's infected.

Chuck Greene was blamed for the outbreak and he spent his remaining time finding evidence to clear his name as well as the truth behind the outbreak. While traveling through the city, he has helped evacuate dozens of survivors to the emergency shelter while being forced to kill several people who have gone crazy, in order to save the lives of other survivors.

The Phenotrans oeprations being conducted in the city purposely interfered with the rescue effort, wiping out nearly the entire military squadron. With the rescue effort failed, a second effort was called off as false sources confirmed there were no survivors in the emergency bunker. After Chuck and reporter Rebecca Chang were able to discover the truth, Phenotrans agent and shelter security officer Raymond Sullivan executed Rebecca before she could call for help. He then escaped, but was tracked down to the Yucatan Casino rooftop and killed, though Chuck's evidence was lost, allowing Chuck to radio for help from the Channel 6 News Station, which sent a fleet of helicopters to extract a total of 74 survivors who managed to find refuge in the Safe House. However, a 75th survivor, Chuck Greene, was left behind as a zombified Tyrone King attacked him in the rooftop elevator, according to Stacey Forsythe who fled on the last helicopter with Chuck's daughter. Chuck's fate was initially unknown and the worst was assumed, but turns out he was rescued by reporter Frank West, in which the two men proceeded to flee the city and track down the perpetrators responsible for the city's demise.

A Survivor's Account
Stacey Forsythe is a zombie-rights activist who survived the disaster at Fortune City, Nevada. She was in the city at the time of the outbreak and found herself trying to survive the undead nightmare. She was one of the last survivors to be evacuated from the city. Receiving care at the Channel 6 News Station, she agreed to an exclusive interview. This is her story...

''I was in town earlier that day, the day of the outbreak, with some protestors from CURE. We were carrying out a peaceful protest with some members of our group, getting signatures from the tourists and such and being interviewed by a TV station. It went well, in terms of gaining a lot publicity. Later that night, before the outbreak started, I was out on the Platinum Strip with some friends, talking to some curious vacationers about CURE when we all heard an explosion from the Arena. Everyone in the streets looked towards the stadium and soon terrified spectators started pouring out, screaming. Suddenly, more, smaller explosions ignited in front of the Arena, setting fire to some stands and trees. "This must be some terrorist attack" I thought to myself, but it was worse. It was not just scared people running out of the complex, but zombies too! And scores of injured, bitten people! That's when the sirens and alarms starting going off and everyone went into a panic, full chaos. My fellow CURE members fled in all directions and from the corner of my eye, I saw a man in a security uniform head down the stairs to the emergency bunker. As people began falling besides me, dying, I realized the seriousness of the situation - this is a zombie outbreak. I screamed out loud "GET TO THE BUNKER! EVERYONE! RUN!" but no one really heard me as their screams drowned out my yells. I managed to grab the attention of woman in a Bunny outfit and some man in a green polo and we rushed into the Safe House where we met the man I saw earlier, a reserve officer by the name of Raymond Sullivan. I told him we need to get everyone in here, but he said it was too late and wouldn't let me go back, but he said he would keep the outer door open a few more minutes to see if anyone would make it in time. Just before Raymond shut the interior doors, two more survivors, contestants from the show, made it safely inside. Upon seeing the security office, I went inside and started watching the commotion inside the Arena from the monitors. I could see people being killed left and right, some were trapped behind the backstage gates as they were lowered, preventing them from escaping. The lobby was completely overrun and I saw a dozen people trying to make it outside, but none of them did. I switch the cameras to see what was happening outside, and saw two people that were at our protest earlier, a man and his wife, among others, be eaten alive. There was another man by the name of Skylar Ali, who eventually made it into the shelter, who had his girlfriend be ripped away from him and killed. That's when I see a father and his daughter running through the streets, towards the shelter...'' ''Five minutes gone and Sullivan announced he was ready to shut the bunker doors for good. Fortunately, there was people inside and they were all let in. The father and daughter I saw earlier were one of them, including Skylar, and several others: Chrystal, Tamara, and Wade. I go on to meet the other survivors while the father, Chuck, brings his daughter to the office. I overhear that he needs more Zombrex and I introduce myself and offer to watch out for Katey while he goes to find some in the mall. I also ask that he tries to bring back any survivors he may encounter...He came back after an hour with some Zombrex and a woman! Turns out the woman, Denyce Calloway, is a pharmacist at the market he went to and she was being terrorized by a trio of looters. He had to kill them in order to save her..and himself. A few hours later, Chuck and I grab some coffee in the lounge when a TV report comes on, accusing Chuck of the outbreak. At first, I was horrified but had some doubt that he actually caused the outbreak. I was pretty unsure of what was going on, but agreed to watch out after Katey as he went to the hotel to find the lady that did the news report.'' ''Chuck returns about 20 minutes later to my surprise, but I could hear other voices. He found a woman, LaShawndra, and brought her back along with her husband, Gordon Dawkins. I help them into the shelter and Chuck goes back into the city. Back at the monitors, I see a shotgun-toting man on the strip, shouting for someone. I call Chuck, informing him of the man I saw and looks like he is able to recruit him. Chuck then goes into the hotel and meets the reporter. She leads him through the unfinished South Plaza into the Arena where they enter the security room. I get a call from Chuck that the equipment has been smashed and the two guards posted have been murdered, both shot. At the same time, Sullivan starts shouting and enters the office enraged, threatening to kick out Katey. Worried, I call Chuck and tell him to get back here. He gets back in time, along with the cowboy-man and his wife, Doris, and an elderly woman who I saw in a toy store. Sullivan saw the TV report and thinks Chuck is the perpetrator, but Chuck is able to convince him to let him clear his name before the military arrives. I can tell Sullivan is really uneasy, but he made an agreement, as long as Chuck continues to bring back survivors...and that's exactly what Chuck goes. He leaves and returns in a couple of hours with three people he found in the Yucatan Casino and one of the malls, Lenny, Jack and his father-in-law, Kenneth. At the same time, I saw some people in the Americana, including a lone showgirl. I watch as Chuck encounters two casino workers looting the slots and one of the looters, Stuart Holmes, recieves a beating after he tries to go after Chuck. Fortunately, Stuart calms down and he, along with his co-worker, Brittany, follow him to rescue the showgirl, who is still drunk from the night before. Not too long before the three survivors are brought back to the bunker, where Brittany and I help the showgirl, Kristin, sober up and get some clothes.''

''Throughout the first day, the amount of activity in the city had mainly died down, except for thousands of zombies shuffling in the streets. As we nervously paced in the shelter, I spotted several signs of life on the cameras - some men in an empty store in the South Plaza mall, a couple trapped in a burning Arena dressing room and a man on a motorcycle, also at the Arena. Chuck takes note of this and heads out to check out these points of interest. Unfortunately, the man on the motorcycle, Leon Bell, turned out to be a psychopath and there was no saving them...he even murdered an innocent survivor with his modified motorcycle. Nearly risking his life, Chuck killed Leon and investigated the Arena to find a corridor filled with smoke, with one of the dressing rooms on fire. Turns out the man and woman inside tried to keep them away with fire but it did not work out so well. They agreed to follow Chuck to safety. Before heading back to the bunker, Chuck was able to convince the four men in the empty store, who were all dressed strangely, like Comic Con nerds, that there were hot women in the shelter and they should follow him. As they made their way across the city, I spotted one of my guys with a girl heading to a bathroom in the Americana Casino. I informed Chuck of this and when he got back, he told me he'd check it out. An hour later, he returns with the girl, some college student, but not the CURE member. According to Chuck and Vikki, Brandon had snapped and was trying to kill everyone...to turn them all into zombies so everyone would be "equal". Another victim of the outbreak...Around that time, Chuck and I spotted some more survivors in the Underground, loading equipment on the subway. It looked sketchy so Chuck said he'd go check it out.''

List of Survivors
''While thousands were killed in the outbreak, a handful of people survived the inital outbreak. The following is a list of survivors. Those are in green are currently alive and those are in orange represents the unknown status for some people. Those in red are unfortunate victims of psychopaths, zombies or other causes after surviving the initial outbreak.''

''The gathered list of survivors has been generated from eyewitness accounts, Rebecca Chang's videocamera, and the closed circuit cameras that were set all throughout the city and broadcasted in the city's emergency bunker, where survivor Stacey Forsythe kept watch for others who would then be approached and attempted to be brought to the Safe House. Four days after the outbreak, and one day after the first failed rescue attempt, a second rescue, a fleet of media helicopters, came and extracted more than 70 survivors from the emergency bunker, after survivor Chuck Greene was able to contact Channel 6 Action News requesting for help.''

Of the survivors listed above:
 * ESCAPED: ??
 * DEAD: ?? (not including the casualties from the failed military rescue as well as the thousands of tourists and workers who died in the outbreak)

Aftermath
Chuck Greene, Stacey Forstythe, and Rebecca Chang were able to uncover a portion of the truth behind the Fortune City disaster thanks to their investigative work. Unfortunetly, Rebecca was shot in the head by Raymond Sullivan, an undercover Phenotrans agent who then proceeded to steal the evidence and attempt to escape the city. However, he was defeated and brutally killed. From the rooftop of the Yucatan Casino, Chuck was able to radio for help. The Channel 6 News Station sent a fleet of helicopters and extracted 74 survivors from the emergency bunker, while Chuck Greene was left behind after being attacked by zombies, including the undead Tyrone King.

With the entire population of the city now undead and the known survivors evacuated, in addition to a failed military containment due to the gas, the city was eventually fire bombed to destroy the zombies and the source of the gas. The remains of the city remain off limits to all.
