In the year 2069, middle of Autumn; Ashfield city is the third largest metropolis in the world with a hefty population of around twenty-seven million people crammed together in what you call home. You being Michael Knight. You're an above average twenty-one year old man, with a height of six-foot, a decently toned body and an incredible academic intelligence due to the prestigious college you attend. However you have mostly coasted by life rarely putting in any real effort to anything you do. Until now! Throughout your life you felt as if something was missing, like you were meant for more, at least you hope... From time to time...

That time is now!

First day back at college after a particularly long weekend started off as normally as it always does. Normal being tired, bored, a bit chilly, also with your imagination running wild on lots of stuff like that first year running past in a short skirt. Oh yeah, you're also kinda a pervert. Ravenwood college sets you up for life however it last four years at the age of eighteen. A big commitment but certainly worth it. You're already in your third year and have amassed quite the wealth of valuable knowledge which is rather broad and detailed making you one of the more elite members of society, if you believe that elitist crap anyway.

You live nearby the campus in an apartment which is shared between three people; one being an obnoxious prick Charlie Black, the other being your best friend Sam Fisher. Your family lives in the richest high rise apartments in the city centre. Your dad got lucky once whilst playing the lottery and won big time, it's the main reason you're able to even attend Ravenwood because it's so damn expensive. Your older sister wasn't so lucky.

She missed out by two years. Being twenty when he won meant she was to old to begin attending unlike yourself who was just turning eighteen. At home there is your two sisters, one younger and one older than yourself, and both your parents. All one big happy, and quite good looking, family

Your older sister had come home recently from her time abroad serving in the military, there is currently some virus which required help from neighbouring countries to prevent the spread of infection. Basically that failed...

The containment attempt failed, the virus mutated too fast to be predicted and then ground zero was lost before anyone realised what had happened. Every other country retreated to sure up their defences. It's currently been two weeks since and none of the prevention methods managed to hold the virus back for very long. The closest confirmed sighting was about 20 miles away at Silver shield prison.

All contact from there since yesterday has stopped.
