GOTHAM: EXODUS ADMIN - December 11, 2009 09:10 PM (GMT)
- The year is 2018. Roughly two hundred and seventy eight days ago Gotham City was struck by an earthquake that lasted a full twenty seconds and measured 7.6 on the Richter scale. Our city, as we knew it, was destroyed.
The government evacuated a good percentage of the population; those deemed worthy enough to save. The rest of us? The criminals, the lunatics, those of us who "are unfit to associate with the general population" were left behind to fend for ourselves; left behind to rot.
Gotham City is no longer a part of the United States. Goodwin Airport has been eradicated, our airspace restricted and declared a crisis zone. The bridges off of the island were demolished. The river was mined. We have been separated from the rest of the world.
Money means nothing to us, we survive with barter and trade. Electricity is scarce; and only provided via generators. Communication to the outside world is void. Supplies decrease daily, leaving us scavenging for food, warmth, and weapons.
Some of us have established territories through the city, and hold our ground. If you don't have your own territory, chances are you work for someone who does... and they take care of you. Turf wars are always in effect.
With no way for its remaining citizens to escape, and with no one that holds authority outside of Gotham willing to help out, we are truly only existing until someone puts us out of our misery.
Rats in cages. A dead end. Ground Zero.
