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 City Outskirts.

Bounty hunter Killian McCaffrey ventures out of Stronghold that night in order to complete a hit. A man has taken residence near Rossdale Port, one that apparently angered the spouse they left- enough for them to seek out their death. However when Killian arrives at the scene, he finds his target dead and Crowley Wilde bent over the corpse, bloody hands and maw digging into the corpse's flesh.

For Crowley finds himself at the mercy of his feral, Infected instincts. His fangs had been forced out, eyes glowing menacing and yellow and human consciousness battling animal hunger. The man had not been special to Crowley, or known to him for that matter- he was simply at the wrong place, at the wrong time. A bounty hunter facing the man who killed his target; an Level V Infected at the mercy of the blood moon and his own hunger

Will they both go back home empty handed? Or will they seek to fill their need for vengeance and flesh?

It's a late night in the City Outskirts.

Though it could not have anticipated the blood moon, the Military is quick to respond to overwhelming reports of heightened Infected activity. After an unnerving distress signal, Captain Alexander Geoff and Officer Delilah Odell are sent on a mission to rescue the inhabitants of a Military outpost just outside Stronghold.

When the officers come across the scene, it's like nothing that has been witnessed before. Dozens of Infected surround the outpost, clawing desperately at its concrete walls and clambering over one another in their wild hunt for the soldiers inside. It's clear from the sheer amount of Infected that stealth is a necessity for this mission- not only because there are too many to be killed at once, but the sound of gunshots would surely attract more of the monsters.

Will the mission be completed? Or will Alex and Delilah risk the wrath of their superiors and a failure on their military record?

It's a late night at the Junkyard.

Military specialist Scout Gadsby has recently been ordered out past the walls of Stronghold, to scout out the area that the Military believe Eclipse has their headquarters located. Upon reaching what appears to be their camp, she runs into a member of Eclipse, Gabrian de Corleone, leaving for a mission. Being outside of Stronghold, with no buildings to block out the sky, they're given ample warning before the blood moon suddenly reaches its zenith. An Infected horde can be heard from far off, but danger reaches their doorstep far before that.

A pack of three Reapers, practically unheard of, approach the Junkyard's front gates. Normally creatures that lay in wait before striking, these appear to not have any sense of danger as they approach the human settlement. Eyes wild and teeth barred, it's clear their taste for humans has amplified to a frenzy, and they seem no longer willing to simply turn. They're here to kill.

The Reapers must be taken care of before they breach Eclipse's walls...

It’s a late night in Stronghold.

Entrusted with a mission to do a drug run of the Spades' specialty drug, rancor, Zander Noble passes by the secret location that houses the underground blood den, The River Styx. Upon doing so, he ends up running into Seryna Constantine exiting the establishment. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time just so happens to suit their meeting, when the blood moon appears overhead and chaos ensues. The appearance of the blood moon forces all Level V Infected within the immediate vicinity to change into their more feral nature, including all the patrons of The River Styx.

It is an unfortunate circumstance that Infected venom acts as a sort of pheromone to call other Infected to come and feast, and being equipped with rancor is like a death sentence. The patrons grow hungrier than ever, the screams of the human employees being able to be heard from outside the club. It's only a matter of time before the Level V's are drawn out, to feed on the rest of Stronghold.

But they might have only one specific person in their sights...

It's a late night at Lake Armdale.

Looter Ares Wheeler has been assigned to spy on the burgeoning new colony near Lake Armdale for the Eclipse. Though he is unable to get close to its newly erected fences, he finds a member of the colony scouting its perimeter - Outcast guard Joe Salinas. Silver moonlight becomes veiled by dark clouds and the night blankets both figures in shadow. When the clouds roll away, they reveal a crimson moon, turning the world around them to shades of red and black.

At first, the night is as quiet as when it was silver and blue. Somewhere in the distance, an owl croons, its deep, baritone notes flittering between rustling leaves. Then, the owl falls silent. The crickets stop baying. The world is silent, suddenly and eerily so. And then a cacophony of growls resounds. They are the carnivorous, menacing snarls of Infected, only it's far too loud to be a single pack of Ferals. No- it's a horde. And they've detected the collection of warm, fleshy bodies that form the colony. Striking red eyes appear in the inky shadows behind Ares.

Only Joe and Ares lie between the hunting horde and the drifter colony.

It’s a late night in Stronghold.

Two men, normally unlikely to cross paths, happen to be in the same bar at the same time. Gray Pierre and Ian Donnaghan are enjoying the night and some drinks when the blood moon appears, casting a gruesome red light through the windows of the bar. The change hits the Level V Infected like a train, forcing them against their will to change into their more bestial side. Fangs come out and eyes glow in the dark; there is no mistaking their true nature now.

While the bar is not packed, it is filled with enough humans to become a mob of witnesses to the unfortunate circumstances of the blood moon. Their cries fill the air as they realize the danger they're in, and they panic. A stampede is formed as they desperately run for the exits, trampling one another as they try desperately calling out for Military intervention.

Anyone who leaves the bar, becomes a risk of exposing the two Infected....

It’s a late night in the Inner Citadel.

There’s something different going down tonight in the basement of a Diamonds' casino. Plutus Quiller, at the behest of his Ace, is putting on a secret Spades Infected Show, normally rare for entertainment in the Inner Citadel. Leading the organization of the event is the Diamonds’ own Ace, Isabella Geoff. The two are working together to get everything set up when the blood moon appears, their presence underground meaning they don’t even see it coming. All hell breaks loose as the blood moon affects the Infected, causing them all to suddenly grow agitated and hungry for blood.

Their strength appears to heighten as well, as bars normally well equipped for keeping the creatures quarantined suddenly give way under the onslaught of the Infected horde. Within seconds they’re free, attacking anyone close to them. One problem after another begin to pile on top of one another, as the Infected start heading for the exits.

The Infected must be contained, lest they draw the attention of the Military...
