[ORIGIN STORY]

[DATE] 237 days after the Great Fall

[EVENT LOG — RECOVERED ARCHIVES]

> 8 months ago. Laboratory "Northern Ark" (a state facility of the highest level of secrecy).

In a secret biological laboratory, experiments were conducted to create a virus capable of enhancing the physical abilities of furries for military purposes.

The experiment went out of control.

The virus "NEX-7" mutated faster than expected.

At first, it caused severe aggression, fever, and loss of cognitive functions.

A few hours after clinical death, the infected furries rose again — hungry, insensitive to pain, and extremely aggressive.

[DAY 0 — ZERO EVENT]

The first leak occurred at 03:17 AM.

Within 4 hours, the laboratory was completely lost.

The security service became the first horde.

[DAY 1–7 — THE FALL]

The virus spread with terrifying speed through the air and bodily fluids.

Major cities fell within a week.

The government declared a state of emergency and then completely disappeared.

The army tried to contain the spread, but soldiers turned en masse and attacked their own.

[DAY 14 — COLLAPSE]

All major cities were declared "dead zones".

Government bunkers stopped responding.

[DAY 30 — NEW REALITY]

The civilization of Eridan officially ceased to exist.

The remaining furries split into small packs of survivors, marauders, and cannibals.

[DAY 90+ — CURRENT STATE]

Winter is approaching.

Resources are almost completely depleted.

Hordes of the Dead are becoming more active and numerous.

[SYSTEM MESSAGE]

Survival is not a right. It is a privilege of the few... and a very temporary one.
