Minimum two paragraph backstory on the concept:
Main idea:
What happened to the people stuck in prisons when the cascade happened?
The story would take place in the San Quentin State prison in san Francisco, a large and notorious prison near the ocean. The players would play the roles of prisoners and prison staff.
The event would start off a little while before the cascade, giving players time to RP their lives in the prison before the cascade occurs. When the cascade occurs the outside of the prison would be thrown into disarray, and the prison would be left to fend for itself with no help from the outside. Supplies like food and ammunition would eventually run out and the spread of xenian life and portal storms would inevitably consume and destroy the prison as well as the rest of san Francisco. The Prisoners and prison staff could either work with or against each other to survive and escape the prison.
Phase 1, Prison, passive RP/S2RP:
This is the first part of the event, it takes place in the prison, starting a little before the cascade, the cascade will occur around the middle of the phase causing law and order in the prison to slowly break down as things become more chaotic. The middle of the phase would involve players working with or against each other, and the prison phase would end when players manage their escape.
Phase 2, Escape, PVE with some possible PVP:
This is the second part of the event that takes place outside of the prison, players would carry out their escape from the prison, but being outside of the prison would only be more dangerous, I don't want to spoil the methods of escape here, but there will be various different ways for the players to escape. The outside of the prison would be infested with xenian life, and the escapees would have to use the tools and weapons at their disposal to fight or flee their way to safety.
Phase 3, Ending, passive RP focused:
The final phase would focus more on Passive RP with the survivors of the escape, letting them talk and discuss what to do next after their escape, the event could end many different ways, though I don't want to spoil them on a public thread
Misc info:
The Prison is located in California or what will come to be the xenian malignance zone, meaning xenian life would be more more common during the event, and would be a much greater threat because of this.
San Quentin is a minimum and maximum security prison, players could play the roles of minor or major criminals in the prison
The prison was nicknamed "The Arena" by the prisoners due to its incredibly violent nature, The Arena might be a good name for the event

If your backstory does not cover the following questions, please answer them.
Do you wish to spearhead the project if your concept is accepted? (You will run the event alongside the SS team.):
I would really like to help out with the project as much as possible
Is this concept set in the Half-Life universe?:
Yes, it takes place at the start of the cascade
Will this concept follow Willard’s Timeline?:
It takes place in the Willard timeline, characters could possibly be carried over to the main server, should they live
Will this concept affect the mainserver?:
Only if anyone survives and is carried on to the main server, otherwise it will only have some very minor additions to the world map
