Lt. Marcus Anderson is one of - these op erators.

Him and his companion, Major, a doberman pinscher, have been ordered to commense lock-down proceedures after recieving reports of an aggressive viral outbreak. they have been waiting for the all-clear from General Mastus for three months.

alarm this time bud. We might be in here a couple more months

So far; they have heard nothing.

The two have been sent into lock-down on multiple occations, but they have always heard back from their superiers. This time it's different. Their briefing was quick and vague and reports of a viral outbreak had the country on edge. given their prodical, operators are to remain in lock-down until they recieve the all clear from command or they hit the five-month mark and their mission begins. Operators are forbidden to leave their vaults before then.

Still no word from command or the other operators. We still have

Our proximity sensors have been showing light activity. I should be safe with the hazmat gear and my rifle.

can leave, but I don’t know how much longer I can wait bud.

Very little about the outbreak was known when Marcus and Major were given their orders.

For the first month, Marcus recieved updates and intel on the situation. According to - the CDC’s few studies, The virus targets it’s hosts frontal lobe, wearing away at the regions that control fine motor skills, speech, personality and reasoning. Within a week of infection, hosts are reduced to aggressive and unpredictable beasts with no memory of their former lives. How the virus spreads is unknown.

Sensors are clear.Alright major, lets suit up. we’ve waited long enough.

Im gonna take a look around top-side.

Operation homefront supplied thier operators with everything they could possibly need. not knowing the virus’ means of infection, Marcus put on his full hazmat Suit just in case.

Silence pressed hard against Markus’ ears as he stepped out of the vault for the first time in months

leaving the basement where his vault was carefully tucked away, Markus carefully checked his home for intruders.

Ma’am, Are you ok?

My name is Sgt. Marcus Anderson, I’m with the US government.....

She must have been there for hours....

Major stay. I’ll check it out.

Finding nothing out of place, markus get’s ready to venture outside when something on his front porch catches his eye.

Oh.

Markus fires a warning shot past the women’s head hoping to scare her off.

Last chance! I don’t want to hurt you!

Drop the knife!

Panicing, markus frantically squeezed the trigger of his AR, putting four rounds in the women’s chest.

Bang

Bang Bang Bang

Unphased by her wounds, the women lunged at Marcus, slicing a hole in his hazmat suit and knocking him to the ground.

With rage filling her hazy eyes, the women lunges for Markus, screeching and wildly swinging the bloody kitchen knife in her hand.

Pinned and facing no other op tion, Marcus shot the infected women with his side- arm.

To Be Continued

KYLE AND MARISSA ARE LAYING IN BED. . .

THAT WAS AMAZING BABY, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING.

GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL.

GOOD MORNING BABY.

KYLE IS LEAVING FOR WORK. . .

I GOTTA GO TO WORK BABY, I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU BABY, HAVE A GREAT DAY.

THE NEXT MORNING MARISSA WAKES UP.

KYLE LEAVES AND MARISSA FALLS ASLEEP.

A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER, MARISSA WAKES UP AND IS WATCHING TV WITH THE DOGS.

AROUND 4PM THE POWER GOES OUT AND SHE SMELLS SMOKE. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? WHERE IS THAT SMELL COMING FROM? IS THAT SMOKE COMING FROM THE WALL?

I’M AT MY BOYFRIEND’S HOUSE AND THERE IS SMOKE UPSTAIRS.

65 GIBBS

911 WHAT IS YOUR EMERGENCY?

WHAT‘S THE ADDRESS?

STAY OUTSIDE, HELP IS ON THE WAY.

STANDING OUTSIDE THE HOUSE, KYLE’S MOM AMY SHOWS UP. .

WHAT HAPPENED HONEY? ARE YOU OKAY?

THE POWER WENT OUT UPSTAIRS AND I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND SAW SMOKE SO I CALLED 911.

WHAT IS KYLE GOING TO DO WHEN HE GETS HOME? HE’S GOING TO BE SO HEARTBROKEN.

WELL THE FIRE IS OUT, BUT THERE ISN’T MUCH LEFT UP THERE. I’M SORRY.

THERE’S NOTHING WE CAN SAVE? IS IT REALLY THAT BAD?

THERE’S NOTHING LEFT, I’M SORRY.

THE SMOKE GROWS THICKER AS IT BILLOWS OUT THE WINDOWS.

AROUND 7PM KYLE PULLS UP. . .

BABY! OVER HERE! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? ARE YOU OKAY?

THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE UPSTAIRS. I’M SO SORRY WE DIDN’T CALL YOU.

KYLE WALKS INTO THE HOUSE TO SEE THE DAMAGE. HE WALKS OUT AND INTO THE GARAGE. MARISSA FOLLOWS HIM. HOW BAD IS IT BABY?

I LOST EVERYTHING BABY, IT’S ALL GONE.

WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS, NO MATTER WHAT.

IT DOESN’T FEEL LIKE ANYTHING WILL EVER BE OKAY AGAIN. I JUST WANT TO DISAPPEAR.

BABY PLEASE DON’T SAY THAT. I KNOW THIS IS TERRIBLE, BUT I PROMISE WE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THIS.

ONE MONTH LATER, STANDING IN FRONT OF THE NEW HOUSE. YOU WERE RIGHT BABY, THINGS DID GET BETTER.

LIKE I SAID, YOU JUST HAD TO HAVE FAITH BABY.
