Tonight was supposed to be just an ordinary lunar eclipse.

But something’s different this time around. The full moon is already high in the sky.
Clouds shroud it from sight one minute, and the next they’re gone, revealing the moon to
no longer be its usual white light, but rather something much more sinister. As though
bathed in blood, its reddish hue gives off a frightening appearance.

It’s a blood moon.
It’s a late night in the Inner Citadel.

High in the sky, near the top floor of Cypher's headquarters, Damon Argyris is busy visiting a member of the Quiller family, Ceres Quiller. With massive viewing windows showing off the lunar eclipse taking place, all manner of Cypher employees have gathered to watch the event. One minute the moon is there, the next it's gone, and when it returns its gruesome red light draws a stir from the employees. There isn't much reprieve before the floors of the headquarters are bathed in a red light, a red alert screaming over the intercom system as panic takes over the company.

The blood moon has affected the Infected kept on lower levels, and security measures all but fail as the creatures burst free of their confines. Already genetically altered by Cypher to a higher state of aggression, the blood moon seems to only further increase their strength and appetite, and all hell breaks loose as the newly-created Infected horde immediately swarms and takes over the lower levels. Communication to lower floors becomes non-existent; survivors, unknown.

The Infected must be contained before they take over Cypher, or worse: Stronghold.

It's a late night in the Inner Citadel.

The clink of handcuffs and scuffle of boots fill the quiet night. A Military transport van idles just at the gates that separate the Inner Citadel from the rest of the stronghold. Two Military officials flank a cuffed individual - Ace Atlas, to be detained and questioned for his involvement in a drug operation. Nearby, Neilos Quiller stalks as intel suggests Major North Sigurd would be present in the exchange.

He doesn't find the Major. Instead, the world around them turns black, then red, as everything adopts a soft, crimson glow, once previously moonlit in silver. It is with this transformation that Atlas appears to change. His eyes shift from blue to pitch black, elongated fangs sprout from his mouth, and the bonds of his handcuffs begin to strain and weaken. It's clear that Atlas has become something other than human- Infected?

What chaos could a Level V Infected unleash in the Inner Citadel, bound and in danger as they are? Who can stop them- or perhaps even join them?

Being part of the Secret Service, Asena Noir has been given the duty of guarding an elite corporate CEO tonight. However, her skills are about to be put to the test, as someone else has their eye on the man. He's wronged the Clubs one too many times, and Ace Aspen O'Hara has come to put an end to his wrong doings. But what neither of them know, is tonight is no ordinary night. As the blood moon rises high in the sky, the man's true identity is revealed when the moon forces him into a feral frenzy.

He is a Level V Infected, and he can no longer hide the many fangs in his mouth, nor the way his eyes glow red in the dark. A thirst for blood that he can normally contain is now out of control, and he turns his attention to the two women in front of him. His strength and resilience appears to be double that of a normal Level V, bumping him to a level 10 threat.

Will they work together, or will they sacrifice one another to the Infected?
