It has been 32 days since the outbreak hit Maine. Saco suffered bad, but at least some people survived. The latest death toll they're reporting across the U.S. is seventy five million, but most have dismissed such low numbers as fancifully optimistic. The combined populations of the twin cities of Saco and Biddeford had been about forty thousand, yet fewer than two thousand are still left in the safe zone. As for the stragglers who never ended up making it, who knows who many are still alive out there?
The uniformed authorities still call the shots around here; mostly the Maine Army National Guard, along with a mishmash of military personnel from other branches. A decent chunk of the Saco Police Department survived thanks to their station's proximity to the zone, so a detachment of cops is also available to pull security.
The camp's management is in relative disarray. There is a 'refugee council', a small team of doctors, and a 'shadow panel' of NCOs and junior officers who generally act of their own accord, separately from the headquarters at Zone Command. The reality is that there are few commissioned officers left with the fortitude and willingness to lead the survivors.
From the start, the zone has been hemorrhaging officers. Lieutenant Colonel Kade Sellers of the 133rd Engineer Battalion, the orginal commanding officer, was killed only several days into the outbreak. His second-in-command, Major Johnathon Hodges, had to put his predecessor out of his misery... Sellers was nothing but a tattered uniform attached to a limbless, writhing torso after the horde had finished with him. It was under Major Hodges' leadership that the Safe-Zone was secured, although a heavy price was paid.
Hundreds of civilians were killed on Hodges' orders, and not just the infected -- many tried to rush the checkpoints even after the islands were at their maximum capacity. Bridges were blown, and those who refused to disperse were gunned down. He oversaw the execution of both looters and infected civilians, who were shot and burned in pits.
Sporadic outbreaks have steadily whittled down the zone over the past few weeks, as well as the Major's nerves. The things he had to do in those first days still haunt him, and he's since become a shadow of his former self. He locks himself inside his office, often joined by his XO, Captain Rory Jenkins, as they slowly drink themselves to death. Day-to-day camp affairs hold little relevance to them, and are delegated to the other officers and NCOs.
Morale is crushingly low, despair gripping the islands. People have mostly run out of supplies in the refugee camps, while the soldiers remain covetous of their remaining MREs. Water is boiled, bodies are burned. Television and radio broadcasts are sporadic.

- Saco River Safe-Zone
UTILITIES
- East Channel Dam possesses a hydroelectric power plant that powers Factory Island.
- Springs Island does not generate its own power, so it relies on gas generators.
- The zone's few diesel generators are generally unused, since the diesel is needed for military vehicles.
- There is no running water on either island. It has to be taken directly from the river and boiled.
- There is a limited supply of chemical agents available to the lab on Factory Island.
- Fish is caught at all of the dams.
SUPPLY
Water | Unlimited (Boiled)
Food | 5 weeks??
Gas | Low - 2 weeks??
Diesel | Low
