Early one spring morning in 1968, the lonely countryside outside of the small town of Mojave California, a NASA space probe has gone awry. Falling out of orbit the radioactive probe heads for earth, re-entering the earth's atmosphere in blinding speed. A thundering earth shattering crash is felt throughout the town and the surrounding area, as a large dust cloud rises and spreads - covering several square miles.

The awakened towns people, it's sheriff, deputies- and others ride out to the scene, a large crater lies before their eye's, smoldering debris covers the land. Shortly after- sirens and helicopters descend upon the area. Military personnel in trucks pull up pushing the towns people back. Men in suits jumping from the helicopters yelling orders here and there.

"GET BACK--GET BACK, CORDON OFF THIS WHOLE AREA, IT IS RESTRICTED TO EVERYONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE GOVERNMENT CLEARANCE".


Others come in coveralls from head to toe, their heads encased in shields and breathing apparatus on their backs. Using gloved hands they start cleaning the area of all the debris, loading it onto waiting closed trucks. Within several hours all that's left is the hole in the ground.

Military flat bed trucks roll in with fencing and razor barbed wire, for several hundred feet out from the crater a fence is enclosed circling it, many signs are hung.

NO TRESPASSING - GOVERNMENT RESTRICTED AREA - ELECTRIC FENCE - BEWARE - DANGEROUS

A small office and barracks are built, and the area patrolled by armed military in jeeps, 24 hours a day.

Within a short time the excitement wears off, and Mojave returns to it's usual serene quiteness of the small town in the desert.

UNTIL...


As dusk was setting in - Helen Sue Mahaffey visited the grave of her recently deceased mother, to place flowers upon it like she did every Sunday. Standing before the grave, her eyes closed saying a short prayer... the earth before her started to rise and fall away. Not paying attention to the slight movement of the earth, but concentrating on her prayer... she felt cold hands on her shoulders.

Startled, she opened her eyes to stare into the face of her dead mother, her hair matted from the dirt, her face and arms an ashen color, a blank opened eyed stare looked at her. Frozen where she was, unable to speak or scream, her mothers teeth sank themselves into her neck... biting and tearing at her soft flesh... blood streaming down her pink Sunday dress.

AAAARRGGHHH she let out a blood curdling scream as her mother ripped the flesh from her neck, then tossing her like a rag doll.

As Mary Jo Simpson was driving past the Mojave Cemetery, her car windows rolled down hoping to pick up a cool breeze from the hot air... her air conditioner being on the blink again. She heard the horrifying scream to her left. Stopping she saw in the distance a woman in a dirty dress appearing to be biting the neck of another woman, then tossing her body into the air.

Horrified she wasted no time in getting out of there... at the Sheriff's Office, trembling and stuttering, looking for words to describe what she saw... finally she got her story out between sobs. Sheriff Bill Hayes and Deputy John Savage drove out to the Mojave Cemetery.

Indeed a grave was open, the coffin top split apart- blood covered the area of the grave site and beyond it, where a body had hit the dirt. Looking around- nothing or anyone was in sight.

This will be a free form RPG where you supply your own plot and NPCs and things to do. If need be from time to time, I will interject something to give the characters something to work off of. The scenario starts off in Mojave, California in the vicinity of the Edwards Air Force Base, the undead are just starting to rise from their graves and mortuaries. Not all at once and not the latest ones, but the dead from years past, and maybe only days past. Their need -- your warm flesh and blood -- their bite is infectious -- can they be stopped -- can YOU stop them -- can you AVOID them -- or will you fall prey to these Walking Dead.
