A militarized police force who called themselves "silencers" marched under the distressed orders of the elders, rounding up and muting all those who crossed their path.

You remembered it like it was yesterday, the announcement made by the government that anyone who spoke at all would be silenced, by having their mouth sewn shut. It sparked outrage and anger in many people, including you. You felt a certain feeling in your stomach. It wasn't just anger, it was a desire to beat the ignorance.

As people were slowly rounded up, silenced, and put into jails, the streets became more and more deserted. You saw fewer and fewer survivors as silencers were patroling more and more. You were beginning to lose hope. However, you found a bloodied note and a ear piece on the floor as you were darting through alleys, and picked them both up. You put the ear piece in your ear and unfolded the note and began to read it.

"If anyone out there is still alive, there's a safe place where you can go. There's an abandoned dorm building for a school on the outskirts of town, go there and tell them you're part of the Let's Trip Club. They'll take you in. It's run by a guy called Chris Sturniolo, and he's working to take down the silencers."
