Journal Entry from 23/04/2024
It’s the year 2024. I’m writing this just before my unit is flown out to a small town called Smithton. A rapidly spreading disease had broken out in the town, and shortly after, all communication with the place collapsed. No calls, messages, or anything else—nothing at all.
At first, police officers from neighboring towns were sent to check on the situation, but every time, communication was lost when they got within 5 kilometers of the town. So, it was decided that my unit would be deployed in the city with two helicopters. We’re supposed to assess what happened in the town and then be flown out again.
I have no idea what to expect… None of us know what’s going on there, but everyone is speculating. Some think that because of the disease, there was simply no one left to maintain the infrastructure. Others talk about a virus that drives people mad and makes them turn on each other.
Well, I hope it’s just a communication breakdown and that we’ll be home quickly, but I don’t think it’ll be that simple… I’ve got a really bad feeling about this. Oh… I have to go...
