Greater Utah
Greater Utah
The red stones and salt white deserts of Utah. Once known for its canyons, arches and wide-open salt flats, Utah is among the few active front-lines standing against the spread of the Flesh. Cancerous growths sprout from sand and stone where meteors fall, streaks of fire that stain the natural splendor with an unrelenting infestation.. but a lack of organic matter stymies the spread. The heat bears down on the invading meat just as viciously as any human’s.
Before the world fell silent, the local CDI correctly identified the mountainous terrain as a likely holdout against the ongoing spread of the Flesh and carved its mark. What began as land deals with the county government became a proving ground for several experimental bunkers- an attempt to secure humanity’s future under the ‘protection’ of the burning sun. Sealed beneath rock and steel, kept alive by what self-sufficient systems could be procured on such short notice, the bunkers held.. for a time.
The skies above Utah never found their rest. Day by day, night by night, meteors burn up as they fly overhead. Helicopters manned by the Whyte-Shioda Corporation are commonplace, ferrying soldiers and technicians to carve out the precious cores of the fallen rocks- and deliver aid to the struggling survivors sheltered in the canyons below.
Whether the high canyon walls and scorching heat will shelter the remnants of humanity forever remains to be seen.
