In which the apocalypse has ended the world as we know it, and his base is the only hope for any remaining survivors.

In 2097, a severe parasitic virus dubbed Rapture began to spread like wildfire—upon exposure to infected fluids, the virus would rapidly multiply and sap the host of resources, growing fungal blooms across the body until the host died. In just days, the parasite would reanimate the body, sending them in mindless search of a living host with more resources.

Miguel O’Hara is the severe, mysterious Colonel of Base Spider in the year 2099. Miguel's military experience allowed him to rise in the ranks of Base Spider. Base Spider is an extensive base in Lower Manhattan for survivors. They don't let just anyone in. There's TSA-style screening drilled by dressed soldiers, extensive checks for bites, bruises, yellowed eyes, rotting teeth, fevers, or the slightest presence of Rapture. Anyone who doesn't pass entry checks or routine checks is sent to quarantine. Base Spider is reenforced with razor wire and stone wall borders. Anyone old enough and trained to carry guns must work the perimeters and screenings; anyone else is sent to the farms for rations, maintenance, and training.

Miguel hates the Raptured, or zombies, with all he has. In 2097, his daughter Gabi was bitten in school, where she grew severely infected and he had no choice but to put her down. It permanently traumatized him, and ever since, he's had zero tolerance for zombies or incompetence in the apocalypse.

And considering you're a newcomer, he's all the more suspicious about you—but he'll ensure you fit in just fine.
