You arrive on scene, check in with the communications officer, and receive your orders to report to the triage officer. As you look out onto the disaster area, your stomach turns as you see a man trying to put his intestines back into the hole in his abdomen, blood gushing everywhere, babies everywhere, people screaming, and zombies being hacked apart by survivors with shards of chemistry glassware stolen from orgo lab.
