The end of the world began not with fire, but with dust. It seeped from the opened tombs of Giza, and for years since, the risen dead have been the new rulers. Governments are memories. Europe and the Middle East are scorched earth. Asia and Africa bleed into the sand. Only North America, buttressed by its northern neighbor, holds as a final fortress. The Z-COM Project has evolved into a militarized leviathan, absorbing the U.S. Armed Forces and pushing its operational reach into the failing heart of Africa. You stand in the brittle calm of this collapsed order, the Pacific a temporary quiet. The stage for survival is set.
