This is the Federation Wartime Broadcasting Network. All stations shall transit this official message. The following message is broadcast at the request of the Ministry of Health.

At approximately 0113 local time, seven patients were admitted to Campbell City National Hospital showing symptoms of Exanimis infection. All seven patients had been in close contact with persons traveling overseas within the past thirty days. Three of seven patients responded to standard antiviral and supplemental treatment, however the remaining four have deteriorated despite treatment. Within the past hours, twelve more patients have been identified showing similar symptoms in Campbell City, and approximately 87 patients nationwide have been isolated. All of the affected hospitals have been placed on lockdown.

In response to this developing situation, the Ministry of Health is hereby issuing an immediate pandemic alert. Citizens are advised to make emergency preparations to shelter in place or evacuate to a safe shelter, and to stay indoors. The National Civil Defence Administration will provide information on prearranged evacuation measures shortly. Please be advised that railways, motorways and airports may be closed for emergency services.

In order to assist quarantine and treatment efforts, the People's Defence Forces of the Federation, on the authority of the Chancellor, have declared martial law throughout all federation jurisdiction until further notice. Transition To War measures are also being implemented. All reservists, and any members of the Homeland Liberation Militia are to report to designated rallying points.

Remember that there is nothing to be gained by panicking or attempting to flee. You are far more likely to be seriously injured if you leave the safety of your shelter. The safest place to be during an outbreak is sheltering in your own home. If you are not trained, and do not have an assigned duty, the best thing to do is shelter in place. Do not attempt to confront infected.

Report any infection to the local authorities as soon as possible. If someone in your party becomes infected, and you cannot reach the authorities, be sure to isolate them. If you yourself become infected, and you cannot reach the authorities, make sure you are not putting others in more danger. Remember that as a last resort, suicide is preferable to allowing oneself to become infected any harm others.

Information from your local Civil Defence authority will follow the conclusion of this message. This message will be repeated again in approximately fifteen minutes along with any new information. Remember to turn off your receiver while not in use to conserve power and avoid attracting infected.

Preliminary attempts at the reanimation of deceased cells has so far yielded success. Tests of the ZOMB-E-1 virus on deceased animals has resulted in the restoration of basic motor skills, though mental activity thus far has been minimal. Success of the virus includes attempts on subjects purported to have been deceased for up to 7 days. Due to this limited success Dr. Killpatient has approved the test of the ZOMB-E-1 virus on deceased human subjects. Should these attempts be successful Protocol Z will be ready for Stage 2. Will update on results within 24 hours.

In a shocking turns of events, it seems President Maria Lilith has decided to sign off on a bill allowing experimentation and bring the dead back to life. The lab already prepared to begin, and filled with research already, have begun their experiments on the corpses of dead animals. Many worry after watching many zombie movies, that this will cause the apocalypse.

[Kalinin K-7]

Official Statement from the Regional Government of KillerDiller Kalinin K7 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Welcome to the KDKK7 XVI State Broadcast. I'm Robert Yoger, and it is currently 7:45 PM on the 27th of October, 2016.
There has recently been reports of an unspecified number of infected people on the Semi-Autonomous Region of Rind-Iller Island, the sole island of the country Kalinin K-7. Known to be a flat, marshy island, repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt with concrete during historical wars, it came in the possession of Kalinin K-7 after the previous claimer of the island sold the island to Kalinin K-7 for only 100,000 Alpha Unoes. Its midget inhabitants, formerly slaves of many different countries during those historical wars, are now under the protection of the Government of Kalinin K-7, and have lived in tranquility ever since.

This all changed only 12 hours ago, though. A mysterious illness appears to have begun to plague the islanders, making them fatigued, sluggish, and blank. This illness soon appeared in up to 50% of the island's population, or about 100 people. Because of this local pandemic, the Bureau of Health and Medicine declared a State of Emergency for the Semi-Autonomous Region of Rind-Iller Island. Medical researchers and doctors quickly appeared on the scene after enduring a 5 hour flight to the isolated island, and have been perplexed by this medical condition.

As of now, we have the Lead Doctor from the Bureau of Health and Medicine on the phone, Dr. Albert Marsque. Dr. Marsque, what do you have to say?

"Hi, Robert! Thank you so much for inviting me on the broadcast! I really appreciate it. For the time being, we don't exactly know what is happening to the islands, though we do suspect some kind of interaction with the moderately high radiation levels in the area, which have only dropped to the Maximum Habitable Radiation Level a year ago. The islanders appear to be displaying a decrease of brain activity in the Prefrontal Cortex, which is vital to decison-making and problem-solving, and an large increase of brain activity in the Paleomammalian Cortex, especially in the Hypothalamus, where instinctual and unconscious thoughts occur. This is causing the islanders to display an increase odd, anti-social, and generally unusual behaviors, such as banging down their houses, wandering around aimlessly, or even showing random acts of affection to strangers in the form of hugging and kissing. Testing their blood, we have found traces of the notorious but now rare disease Mucormycosis, caused by fungi in the order Mucorales. However, there seems to be much higher concentrations of this fungi within the brain tissue than in normal body tissue, and we expect that this pathogen may be causing the problem. The fungi appears to have evolved into a fungi similar to the genus of fungi known as Cordyceps, popularly known as the "mind-controlling fungi" of many insects, though our medical researchers are further researching this medical condition."

Thank you, Dr. Marsque, for your statement. The Epidemic of Rind-Iller Island is now an ongoing news story, and we will continue publishing updates to the story. Thank you for your attention.

"Military forces were deployed today to suppress a large riot and violent crime spree in an Imperial-controlled oil field and outlying city in Colony 12, within the Southern Hemisphere, somewhere in southern Australia. The city of thirty thousand itself was mostly unaffected; the violence was mostly contained to the oil fields. However, the hospital within the city was seized by the Ministry of Defense. Reports of a fire on the west side of the hospital seemingly have gone unnoticed by the Imperial Army soldiers garrisoned there. The cities airport, train stations and freeways are closed; there are also as of yet unconfirmed reports of a similar riot in the northwestern corner of the city. Military helicopters have been seen flying over the city, and reports of gunfire are increasing steadily."

"The roads to the oil fields have been closed and roadblocks manned by the army enforce the road closures. All travel in and out of this colony are being suspended until further notice. Civilian aircraft from all nations are being diverted and foreign military aircraft are being engaged. No reasons as of yet have been given as to why such extreme precautions have been enforced."

We interrupt this broadcast to bring you an official notice and statement from the Chancellery of Health.


The following statement contains graphic content. Please do not panic. We have recieved alarming reports from the Merni Overseas Territories and the Labyrinth, of victims of an infection caused by reanimated dead humans, or, as popularly known, zombies. Symptoms of this infection reportedly include incomprehensible muttering, blankness, fatigue, aimless movement and walking with arms extended and unexplained desire to damage property and infect more people.

Doctors and medical experts have travelled to one of the affected Mernian overseas territories, the Koeres Islands, to find out the cause of this infection. After extensive testing on various individuals, they found traces of the believed-to-be-eradicated disease Reexanimasis, caused by the virus Reexanimator, with a particularly high concentration in brain and spinal tissues.

The Government has resolved to find and apply a cure for this infection as soon as possible. Doctors at the Qersi Imperial Hospital are working day and night to this end and have brought and kept in quarantine a victim of the disease so as to study it further.

The Merni Epidemic and Pandemic Centre has issued a nationwide Pandemic Alert of Class 6. The Centre has strongly advised the people to stock up on essential provisions for the next week and keep their house safe.

Now, an announcement from your local Health Centre will follow.

Latest News: CHA Warns Citizens of Deadly Virus

Today, the CHA issued a public health warning, concerning a new deadly virus.

According to the CHA, the virus, now being identified as the Lotus Virus by Canadian officials, has been reported in several countries. According to reports by foreign nations, the Lotus Virus is said to have the ability to resurrect dead human beings, and is also said that it can also inject signals into the human brain, forcing the host to bite a healthy person, thus spreading the disease further. The CHA says it will conduct its own tests, but has confirmed the reports are true.

Late last month, a report from a few nations reported a new virus found in ill patients. The CHA has not yet confirmed whether these cases were connected to the Lotus Virus.

"These are scary times we're living in", says CHA director at a press briefing earlier today. "This virus is nothing like we've ever seen, so we want everyone to be on the lookout for any signs of infection. If you see anyone who you think looks very sick walking around, alert your authorities immediately. This virus may seem small, but it can catch up to you in a flash".

This article will be updated as more information comes.

Latest News: BKSD Warns Citizens of Deadly Virus

Today, the BKSD issued a public health warning, concerning the spreading of a new deadly virus.

According to the BKSD, the new virus, now being identified as the Kanibal Virus by Samuderan health officials, has been reported in several neighbouring countries. According to reports by foreign nations, the Kanibal Virus is said to have the ability to resurrect dead human beings, and is also said that it can also inject signals into the human brain, forcing the host to bite a healthy person, thus spreading the disease further. The BKSD says it will conduct its own tests, but has confirmed the reports are true.

From the past few months, a report from a few nations reported a new unidentified virus found in ill patients. The BKSD has not yet confirmed whether these cases were connected to the Kanibal Virus.

"These are scary times we're living in", states BKSD director, Dr. Maryam Nugraha at a press briefing earlier today. "This virus is nothing like we've ever seen, so we want everyone to be on the lookout for any signs of infection. If you see anyone who you think looks very sick walking around, alert your authorities immediately. This virus may seem small, but it can catch up to you in a flash".

Worries have been increased among Samuderan health officials since some neighbouring countries have reported their cases. A week ago, the BKSD have advised the government to restrict any movements along the borders should the new virus spreading further.

Back to the country, the Regional Badan Kesehatan Samudera Darussalam officials in Singapore get alarmed by the presence of 7 infected passengers in the Changi International Airport after they did the massive health examinations as part of their preparation to prevent the virus from coming into Samudera Darussalam. The BKSD officials confirmed that they have isolated the infected citizens and pressed the government officials to restrict movements out and into Samudera Darussalam until another notice issued. The Governor of Singapore, Mr. Halim Tan, advised the citizens of Singapore to remain calm.

Emergency National Radio broadcast
2:54pm Bir Moghrein time


Attention! 

This is an emergency broadcast by the Maoist People's Party to all citizens of Bir Moghrein.
 Listen to this broadcast closely and relay important information to any others you know. 
I am Lieutenant Afra Mehani, and it is currently 2:54pm Bir Moghrein time.

The Ghul virus as known locally has officially been reported to have spread to Bir Moghrein, 
on the outermost island of Agalega. The virus turning people into flesh-eating monsters was 
transmitted to the island from an unknown source. Agalega has a population of about 300 people, 
and according to offical statistics, about 200 have already been zombified. The remaining 100 are 
taking refuge on the island's military outpost, hosting a presence of about 15 soldiers of the Bir Moghrein People's Army.

The citizens and soldiers have fortified the outpost and are awaiting rescue from forces of the BMPA at the outpost at the 
village of Vingt-Cinq. President Adawiyah has officially enacted Article 47 of the constitution of Bir Moghrein.
 "ALL CITIZENS are now deemed official SOLDIERS of the PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF BIR MOGHREIN.
 ALL CITIZENS who refuse to abide by this law will be shot. THE CIVILIAN MILITIA will be 
in charge of protecting our homes and land from the undead threat. To those in Vingit-Cinq,
 I wish you my best of luck in your defense of the homeland." said President Adawyiah on the situation yesterday.

Thank you for listening to this emergency broadcast. Government services will update the situation in the coming hours.

TBS Radio Worldwide shortwave broadcast - Tinhampton News - 13:31, 28-10-2016
PRESENTER: Good afternoon, word. From our studios from the Tin City, we bring to you the latest news.
[THEME TUNE]
PRESENTER: It's half past one, and here's Emily Jones.
EMILY JONES: Thank you. Reports are coming through that the EMAXX virus's second iteration has devolved into what
is being described as the worst zombie outbreak to ever hit Tinhampton. The last time such an
outbreak occured, the 1984 zombie apocalypse killed over 6,000 Tinhamptonians, mainly in rural parts
of the city, leading some to argue that this gave Mayor Katrina Petroshenko her eventual victory in
March's election. Despite leaning left in her politics, her subsequent Zombie Invasion Strategies
having helped to ensure that only 3,000 Tinhamptonians have died since. However, with rumours of
two EMAXX sufferers in the city, one of them having already been shot dead by a civilian, the city
has been put under lockdown. Mayor Lydia Anderson is preparing to make a radio address to the city,
and to the rest of the world, on this new and deadly invasion. It shall start in a few seconds.
[5-SECOND PAUSE]
THE MAYOR: Today is amongst the gravest of days in Tinhamptonian history, and that isn't a joke. As I speak,
literally thousands of nations are threatening to bring zombification to us. This is a plot, a plot to
bring down Tinhampton's free and democratic society. The virus arrives not from the rest of the UK,
but from other places, from air and sea. These times call for drastic measures, of which I will sadly
have to follow. Firstly, supermarkets shall be closed between midnight tonight until Wednesday at 6am.
If you want food and water, I urge that you stockpile it now, and accompany it with your food rations
for the week. All other shops will be closed until 6am on Wednesday for your safety. The borders of
Tinhampton are to be strengthened, with guards on duty until Wednesday lunchtime. All non-sapient
beings will be banned from entering or exiting Tinhampton for your safety; transport of sapient beings
is to be restricted to 1 group of people every 8 minutes. I apologise in advance for the long delays.
Freedom of the press shall come under our temporary control. Any attempts to publish pro-horde
material will lead to the journalist in question and the company's board being charged with treason.
Please stay in your homes during the apocalypse, as any attempt to leave will be considered to be
treasonous, as well. We do have various other plans, but these are classified indefinitely. You
shall learn about those plans when the worst comes to worst. Thank you, and goodbye.

Bio-terrorism Incident in Feymont

At 1:33 AM this morning, an unidentified man broke into the GloboLife Laboratories building in Feymont, and, according to military police, used a stolen keycard to unlock the secure containment vault. Recently released security footage shows the man stole a sample of the ever-destructive B9-BD virus - a rather toxic airborne pathogen which can actually infect cybernetics, making it highly dangerous to the entire population.

Around 6:31 AM, the alleged burglar was identified walking through Urheus plaza. Military Police quickly showed up to arrest the suspect. Before they could detain him, however, he smashed the virus onto the ground before shouting a slogan used by the "Purification First" group. While it remains unclear what exactly happened, drone footage from the area at the time shows that the entire squad of MPs, and the suspect, started attacking bystanders in the area while shambling around uncontrollably. The bystanders appeared to have been bitten multiple times, before they too exhibited the same behavior as the infected MPs and burglar.

By 6:45 AM, the entire plaza has been overrun by these infected individuals, causing the Feymont Metro Police and E-SEC to evacuate and seal off the entire district. The reason given at the time for the quarantine and involvement of E-SEC was that the events in Urheus were a riot.

As of 7:01 AM, E-SEC teams, tanks, and ambulances have been seen moving in on the district en masse. While the explanation of this simply being a riot remains the only official one, the bizarre behavior of the infected individuals lines up with what one may call a "zombie".

[The Victory Corporation]

Victory Corporation Internal Memo --- Issued timestamp 0938 --- Subject: ZMB-48 Emergency

This message is to be viewed with the utmost seriousness - Caution is advised.
This message is labeled top priority, medium security.

As you may have heard by now, a resistance cell in Skyrise attacked a medical research facility. Products being
developed within this facility, including ZMB-48, were considered safe. As such, security was low compared to
more important facilities, and the insurgents were successful in gaining access to the facility. Despite the
facility being on full lockdown, the insurgents made their way to the control room and used an override code
gained from unknown sources to open select areas of the facility. Those researchers and isolated guards within
were eliminated with lethal force. Their families have been notified and contract clauses accounting for their
premature death honored.

Among the areas unlocked was the storage area containing various testing stages of ZMB-48. While apparently not
the insurgent's primary objective, we will not know what was. An insurgent rifling around inside apparently
accidentally knocked a container of ZMB-48 to the ground, causing the secure container to crack open. The
insurgent did not seem to notice and continued with their previous activity, not taking anything and not
apparently paying much attention to labels. It is still unknown what the insurgents were searching for. However, footage
recovered from security devices shows that the same insurgent later began vomiting excessively, including stomach contents and
not a small amount of blood. Over a thirty-minute period, their skin and facial features actively decayed, a state of extreme
necrosis. With current information, we have ascertained that ZMB-48 apparently started bonding with the insurgent's cells,
but in the process caused them to decay and die much more rapidly than should be possible. Due to the nature of ZMB-48, it
actively replaced those cells as soon as they died, forming a pseudo-skin layer that works similar to a contact virus, though
ZMB-48 directly affects the skin and other organic materials rather than requiring access to the bloodsteam directly.

Approximately thirty minutes after breaking the container, the insurgent collapsed into a state of hibernation, occasionally
shivering, presumably out of pain or fear. The insurgent's allies attempted to deliver medical aid, and for another half-hour
seemed to unsuccessfully diagnose the problem. Approximately an hour after exposure, the original insurgent opened their eyes and
immediately lashed out at their nearby allies. The insurgent, now designated Subject 001, apparently possessed only animal
intelligence, using hands to claw at the other insurgents and, for reasons still unknown, bit several of them multiple times.
Several of the other insurgents were either incapacitated or, apparently, killed, and others fled, some suffering from various
wounds inflicted by Subject 001. After this event, the insurgents regrouped, and were able to kill Subject 001. Analysis
concludes that the killing shot was to the brain; body shots seem to have had little effect on Subject 001's health.

Approximately fifteen minutes after being seemingly incapacitated or killed by Subject 001, the targets of its initial rampage
rose, displaying the same symptoms as Subject 001 had shown. They proceeded to regard each other with curiosity, then an unknown
source directed their attention to their former allies. They began running, and almost immediately after the other insurgents had
terminated Subject 001, were upon them, clawing and biting similar to Subject 001. Remaining insurgents fled or were assaulted
and infected, Victory Corporation fast response teams have barricaded the lab and are attempting to contact any surviving guards
or researchers inside. Any entities displaying symptoms similar to ZMB-48 are to be terminated immediately.

Additional warning: sensors within the facility detected the infected subjects exhaling a variant of ZMB-48, which could
potentially contaminate and/or infect individuals nearby. We have also not accounted for the locations of all insurgents
accompanying Subject 001. Fast response teams are being organized to respond to respond to any outbreaks and contain them.

ANCHORMAN: Good morning, all. I'm Jonathan Shaw of AGN Global News Channel 3, bringing you a special report, concerning the 
situation in Feymont.
ANCHORMAN: It has been brought to our attention that the violence at Urheus Plaza, Feymont, was in fact not a riot as the 
government previously claimed, nor restricted to the greater Feymont area. Our field correspondent, Jennifer Larson, has more.
JENNIFER LARSON: Thanks John. We're currently at the James Carter Regional Hospital. The staff here say they've never 
seen anything like what happened today. Almost a hundred fearful people with bizarre chemical-based wounds have arrived in 
the hospital today. We're also being told that most of the injuries were in fact bites - not gunshot or stab wounds as we were 
originally led to believe. Right now we have Doctor Jonas Holiday with us. He's been on-duty since the patients started coming
in this morning.
JENNIFER LARSON: What can you tell us about the patients, doctor?
DOCTOR: The wounds from the incident in Urheus this morning are... staggering. The medical droids can barely keep up 
with the massive influx of patients. People have been coming in with incredibly serious bite wounds on par with that of a rabid 
animal. Apparently, after these people were bitten by someone with the pathogen that caused all this in the first place, they 
displayed symptoms of muscle spasms and vomiting before being rendered brain-dead. Minutes later, blood started flowing to 
their vital organs, and motor function was restored, but... well...
JENNIFER LARSON: What Doctor?
DOCTOR: They became extremely animate and hostile, rabidly attacking and biting any living thing close to them. To the
people watching your broadcast, avoid anyone displaying symptoms of vomiting and muscle spasms. We don't know how far this 
virus has spread.
JENNIFER LARSON: Thanks for your dedication, Doctor. What measures have been taken by the hospital to treat those with 
this infection?
DOCTOR: When we found out about the violence of the infected, we quickly put every still living patient with the pathogen
into emergency cryostasis. It stopped the infection, but the moment we pull them out of stasis, they'll attack. We're keeping 
them in stasis until we can find a...

DOCTOR: Excuse me, I have to leave.
[The doctor steps away.]
JENNIFER LARSON: Well, there you have it. Right now, the Feymont Metro Police have said they've put the infected individuals,
and that the outbreak has been contained for now. However, the plaza still remains quarantined. Back to you, John.
ANCHORMAN: Thanks Jennifer. E-SEC has also just issued a statement urging anyone to report anyone with any symptoms of the virus.
 We'll return after these messages.

German Police carrying off the corpse of an infected man


German Officials have officially ordered the cancellation of all forms of travel to and from Munich, one of their largest cities in the DDR. This follows a massive riot, in which police reported people participating in mass cannibalism and attacking other citizens.

"It is a tactical decision." Said the head of the workers council in Munich "Our police are overrun, the people's militias are overrun. We had to get federal help."

The help given was an immediate shutdown of the city, and a massive military operation. Soldiers from all nearby Red Army installations occupied the city
