[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 5211055, member: 12460"] [b]Day 1, November 4th, 2020, Approx. 8:00 AM (14:00 GMT)[/b] It is Day 1 of the Apocalypse. Yesterday, Chicago, Illinois and Gary, Indiana were engulfed in atomic flames. It was the day of the United States Presidential Election and the streets were filled with voters. President Sarah Palin was attempting to secure a coveted second term against challenger Tim Kaine. Because of the new apportionment of electoral delegates that had been ratified as the twenty-eighth amendment to the US constitution, the turn-out for the 2020 elections was expected to be higher than ever before. Then it happened. A mushroom cloud over downtown Chicago. The core of the city was instantly incinerated and most of the outlying suburbs destroyed in the process. Only a fraction of the city's population in outlying areas survived, many of them attempting to flee the city north, west, or south along major highways. The fallout from the explosion has been felt even as far south and Manteno, Illinois, where even now a small group of heroes have banded together for support in this time of crisis. Along the way they have encountered numerous hazards and undergone a series of unusual events. They now find themselves in the small town of Manteno, attempting to secure medical supplies for a gravely-injured person in their party and parts to repair a semi-rig that they used to escape the city. [sblock=ethandrew]How Elway survived is up to you. Perhaps he was at an election rally on the edge of town when the blast happened. Maybe he was visiting a coffee shop.
