TERRITORIES.

the members of the fallen alliance struggled to make it to the alcatraz island after the virus spread, but considering it was the only bit of land that seemed like it couldn't become riddled with infected, they made their home there. it was renamed grim's row because of the overall grim-feeling of the old prison; walking among rows of cells wasn't ideal, even in an apocalypse. they only consider the island to be their territory, and defend it with everything that they possibly can. occasionally, they venture into the city in order to go on raids, and gather more supplies, but for the most part, they've started to grow their own vegetation and take care of the few livestock animals that have been able to be transported over the water by boat. it's not much, but it's a secure living location- for now, at least.

scar is, and always has been, an underground compound located beneath san francisco's soil. their facility was constructed after world war ii, originally as a political bunker. when a new kind of serum was discovered to alter dna for better or for worse, the corrupted leaders of scar became to put their money into constructing laboratories specifically for experiments. before 2000, the entire compound had been reconstructed for the sole purpose of controlling life. now, after the outbreak, it shelters the scar members that still remain in an indestructible cage in the ground. there is only one exit and entrance to the surface, and it's heavily monitored and power-controlled. if you don't have clearance to come down, expect to be put out of your misery; they always keep a pair of snipers secured at the entrance, just in case.

unfortunately, for the survivors in san francisco, they're left to fend for themselves among the city's streets. san francisco is their sandbox, and if they're not careful, it might turn into their grave. scar doesn't interfere with the survivors on the island, despite the fact that they have more than enough room to house most of them, so lone survivors have usually kept their distance from them as well. most make their mark within the city, and claim territory as theirs whenever they feel the need, so watch your back out there, or you might just step into someone's huntin' ground.

the infected rule the streets of san francisco, most of the time. at least, if they're aware that they're infected. they prowl for the next living thing to devour and ingest, whereas the few who don't know that they're infected can carry on with their lives like normal until the transformation comes out. they can be either on grim's row, or located in scar's facility, completely unaware of their own condition. now, whenever that transformation does take place, they can be expected to be shot without hesitation, so just keep that in mind.
