IT'S THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. in the early 2010's, a dramatic rise in stillborn babies with the X-Gene swept the world. five years later, these stillborn babies rose from their graves looking the exact age they should be -- only they were braindead and after fresh meat. and even more followed. details 1. the original "virus" is a mutation of the X-Gene. there is no cure. 2. exchanging fluids with an infected person will cause you to turn (whether being bitten and having their saliva enter your bloodstream, having their blood splashed into your mouth and accidentally swallowing, etc.). 3. within 6 hours of infection, you turn feverish. within 24 hours, you lose control of bowel movements. within 48, you lose all motor functions. within 72, you die, and are "brought back" five minutes after your heart stops. 4. the infection started with mutants, but anyone can turn (including animals). 5. turned mutants not originally born with the condition have sporadic bursts of the power they possessed when they were living. 6. zombies die when their brains are destroyed.

[Cable vaults over the counter and follows Logan, watches in surprise as the other man makes his own back door with claws?? No time for lollygagging, he moves past Logan and out into the alleyway. Dead on one end, bouncing back and forth between the buildings. To the left it's clear, and that's where he heads.]

Come on, follow me.

[At the end of the alley is a street, and across that street are more buildings, and more of the dead. Cable swears he'd combed this place before starting to scavenge.]

My truck is down that way.

[He points at a small group of the dead. At least there's only two or three. They'd both be able to take them easily, right?]
