Introduction

My name is Natalya. I apologize for the very brief introduction, but as you will see, brevity is a necessity for me.

I am reporting from the city of Malton, which suffered a contagious outbreak several weeks ago and has been under military-enforced quarantine ever since. I have no idea how widely the contagion has spread, no idea what information has reached the media. (Are our voices heard in the outside world?) Power grid is out. Without the power grid, we have no television, no radio, no cell phones, no 'Emergency Broadcast System'.

As far as I know, we are on our own.
