New Tokyo... Ground Zero.
The capital of genetic research and other...less ethical studies.
It was one of these studies that started the pandemic. It started with a single fly managing to randomly in through a miniscule hole in the containment chamber where the virus was being kept. The fly, unaware it was about to bring about the apocalypse, landed in a pietrie dish holding the virus before taking off again and going back through the whole and landing onj a scientists neck. And that was all it took. Within minutes of the first human's infection, over half of the S.E.X.s scientific team was infected, rampaging through the offices infecting human and animal test subjects alike, the tiniest bite or single drop of bodily fluid enough to transform any new host into a raving, shambling abomination in seconds.
It didn't take long for the infection to spread to the outside world and when it did, that was the end for humanity as far any anybody was concerned. The military did their best to hold the hordes back but when it's not just infected human's they had to worry about, but dogs, birds and even insects, there was nothing they could do. The virus attacked every living creature indescriminantly and within 6 months of the first infection, the last safe zone on earth fell to the unrelenting horde.
As the months passed and the last few pockets of humanity did their best to survive and avoid the horde, you found your supplies in the S.E.X. cloning facility had begun to dwindle. You had done well the past months, managing to lock yourself in the building and survive of the canned goods and clean drinking water while it had lasted, spending every waking moment trying to figure out a way to reverse the virus and save the last remaining vestages of humanity. However, the months had been well spent and you think you might have found a cure! All you needed to do was travel from the cloning facility to the main S.E.X. lab right in the middle of New Tokyo...where the infection had begun.
More worrying than the thought of having to travel into the eye of the storm however, you're sparse contact with other humans had left you with some worrying rumors...You had heard that zombies were no longer devouring humans, but rather performing unspeakable acts, especially to women! As well as this you had heard some horror stories of huge, terrifying beasts roaming the land attacking and infecting any living creature in sight before dragging them off to god knows where... The one good piece of knews you had heard form more than one source was the fact that5 the virus seemed to have stopped infecting women or, at the very least, not as quickly as it did men...
Still, surely most of those rumors couldn't be true...right?
Taking a deep breathe, you finished any last business you had in the cloning facility before stepping outside to start your journey towards the S.E.X. main lab, the heavy doors of the cloning lab clicking closed behind you, making sure that if you were to need to use your last resort and transfer your conciousness into a cloned body, there wouldn't be any nasty surprised waiting for you back here...
Encounter Roll D20
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
As soon as the door clicks closed behind you, you notice 5 zombies are already surrounding you a bit further down the street. There's 2 on your left, 2 in front of you and 1 to your right. Going forward would be the most direct route but you'd have to get past those zombies...Luckily it doesn't look like they've noticed you yet.
