With the return of the infamous Doctor Gordon Freeman, humanity had finally received the much-needed encouragement to rise-up against its foreign occupiers. With Freeman presumed dead, the resistance used the destruction of Nova Prospekt as it's signal to rise. The streets were soon flooded with the Union facing fierce resistance against rebels utilizing tactics, something practically unheard of prior to this moment. Freeman returned several days later and with a new leader in the field the resistance soon successfully infiltrated the citadel. Though tensions began to rise when several hours passed and there wasn't any sign of the heroic Freeman or his trusty sidekick Alyx. After twenty-four hours of eager waiting, a rumor had begun to spread from the Vortigaunts. The so-called 'Freeman' had perished and the resistance had lost its momentum. Soon the resistance had been driven back, while many fled to the outlands, those who were captured or surrendered were given mercy. They still had use producing for the Union.
With the Freeman presumed dead, word was quickly spread to rally in America by any means necessary.
Unfortunately for those who listened to the message broadcasted by Lambda, they weren't the only ones to receive the message. Eager to enact revenge against those who tried to free themselves, the CPRD dug deep into it's labyrinth of viruses and abominations. With several bio-weapons in hand, the Overwatch forces planted several powerful jammers around the United States, stopping anyone without a certain military-grade radio from contacting the world outside the United States. With outside contact cut off, the CPRD released an airborne Virus that hastily spread across the states, as well as an army of it's pet-projects.
The Story Begins Here
You've come to the United States seeking to unite with Lambda. However your progress was thrown off since the virus struck. It has been a week since the first wave of the virus hit. Will you escape the United States, or will you succumb to the Mist and other-worldly horrors released against you? Only time will tell. Gasmasks only delay the inevitable, with bits of viruses getting in through the filters. Requiring rooms to be properly filtrated in order to remove your gas mask .
Factions
Lambda
The resistance itself. They're a professional group of insurgents, trained soldiers, and patriots who were previously willing to sacrifice themselves to free humanity from the baleful influence of the Combine. They had the equipment for the job, ranging from simple weaponry to helicopters and tanks. However, the majority of this firepower was lost during the uprising. The remnants of these folk went into hiding in the outlands after the failure of the first uprising. But they've coordinated and arrived en masse to the United States. Manpower and firepower are scarce. Desperate, this cell of Lambda managed to get in contact with a squad of Civil Protection officers and some questionable individuals with a boat. They've agreed to meet with these two groups to unite them under Lambda.
Metropolice Force
The Metro police Force used to be the hostile enforcers of the Combines will. Not anymore. After an order was given for all command units to retreat to the Nexus, the metropolice for was disbanded. Ranks 05-01 banded together with the simple objective of survival. They have weapons of moderate quality, and access to some Combine technology. They have their own tactics, coordination, and communication. They operate off their own volition. They are severely outnumbered by both Overwatch and the resistance, and are actively hunted down by the former. This particular squad of metropolice officers have arrived in the United States to negotiate with Lambda, who have elected to turn a blind-eye to the officers past careers so-long as they willingly fall in with Lambda.
Refugees
Men and women who've come to the United States seeking to unite with the Lambda. Luckily for this group, they managed to ferry along with two individuals who possessed a working boat, so-long as they agreed to listen to the commands of the captains. Now with a working boat, and defacto leaders, the group made it to the American shores by the skin of their teeth. The boat was destroyed by a vicious storm as the crew attempted to dock to look for fuel. Delayed, and way off-course the crew was unfortunate enough to lose their only mode of transport just as the virus hit. With their progress severely delayed, the group has finally begun to arrive at the specified location given by the Lambda agents. A week later.

Final Notes
It is important to note that while this may be an unpopular decision, I've elected to use Clockwork for this Roleplay. It is of my personal belief, and the team who assisted in writing and preparing this story that Clockwork's gritty feeling is an excellent addition and will provide unique benefits in the form of overall tone and nostalgic feelings. This is a NON-CANON STORY
For reasons regarding possible man-power issues, it is discouraged you actively avoid each other.
