Welcome to the world of Omicron Protocol! Check out San Lazaro, its citizens, and the various factions that have banded together to survive a collapsing society.
Everything can change in a month. The cutting-edge West Coast city of San Lazaro was the epicenter of a cybernetics revolution in 2044, ushering humanity into the future … but, in 2050, a mysterious techno-viral menace, the likes of which the world had never seen, turned the city into a place of chaos and death. The disease could not be stopped: It evolved to defeat any countermeasure, mutated to answer any cure. In mere weeks, San Lazaro was overwhelmed by the infected.
Efforts to contain the outbreak were useless, as were attempts to control the surging numbers of its insane, violent victims. Dubbed “Cyber-Memetic Sociopaths” by the media, these “CyMS” spread across the city in a wave of mindless, indiscriminate violence. With the murderous CyMS rampaging, the government and military abandoned San Lazaro … and its people.
Your home is now a lawless place, cut off from the world. Some survivors have banded together in hopes of escaping, while gangs once suppressed by the law have seized control. The CyMS stalk the streets, sowing fear and terror in their path. In this waking nightmare, your only chance of salvation is to join a faction powerful enough to defeat the foes — infected or not — that stand in your way.
