The town of Argos. A small community, consisting of roughly 15,000 people. Most of the population is concentrated in the inner town, a series of independent stores and small apartment buildings fill the town core, surrounded by middle class housing, and branching out in a few suburb communities on the outskirts. The surrounding country-side is primarily farmland, with a series of farm houses, barns, fields, pastures, and orchards. The quiet community subsists primarily on agriculture and tourism, making a name for themselves with the expansive network of underground caves outside of the town itself.
Five years ago, in an attempt to boost the overall economy and make up for the lull during the winter season, the town council gave building permissions to Eurochem Industries to construct a factory several miles outside of the town, what was considered a safe distance from any of the farmland. The plan worked, and the town prospered, taking in a large amount of money over the five year period.
Lately, however, over the past few weeks, there have been strange occurrences in the town. Several people have disappeared without explanation, and the police have so far been unable to locate them. Additionally, several CDC vans have been spotted driving the streets, also with no explanation. The police have been co-operating with them, but have not disclosed to the public what exactly they have been searching for. Tension has been building in the town, as the tourism has died down with rumors of disease and quarantine.
Abruptly, however, one evening, a group of strangers shambled in to town from the forest...
