[even if the Dreamberries are off, it will suddenly turn on, a small light flashing red. everyone will suddenly hear frantic shouting and see people scrambling. a scared lieutenant appears.]
Shit, this is bad-this is really-you! Everyone! The plan failed! There's just too many of them, we can't-[nearby gunshots can be heard followed by more yelling.] We'll try to keep them back, but just stay inside and hide!
Lock your doors, bar the windows, and whatever you do don't come out after dark!
Just don't let them-AUGH!
[the man suddenly disappears, the device he was using clattering to the ground. but as it falls, it reveals the lieutenant had been pulled away and is fighting against what looked like an ordinary person. except for the fact that the person looks deranged, possessed, and trying to cut the lieutenant down with a cleaver.
but before anyone can tell if he survives or not, a face appears on the screen. a woman. she too looked as if she were possessed, her eyes vacant and purple. she looked as if she hadn't eaten in weeks. but she just smiles a deranged smile before laughing hysterically and smashing the device with a pipe, cutting the line.]

Those closest to the Industrial District will not only hear the commotion, but see it. Disheveled, almost sickly looking people running out, attacking everything in their path. First two, then five, then ten-the numbers keep growing. Soldiers and police from all around converge to try and keep them back, the soldiers employing various weapons and containment devices. But some still manage to escape through the cracks.
Barricades would soon be formed on every major intersection and entrances to the districts.
But even with those efforts, no one would be safe.
The plan had failed. And now everyone has to fight.
[Note: Those who are responding in action may get a tag by one of the NPC journals. Characters are going to be completely free game in this post. However, if you really don't want one to be tossed your way, indicate it somewhere in your comment!]
