[edit] Story

On Christmas Eve 2032, "The Awakening" happens. Over 4 billion humans go into a murderous rampage. In the ensuring chaos, planes crash, cites burn and millions are dead. It is humanity's darkest hour.

For months after the Awakening, the world is in a state of global anarchy, no government survived. People truly think this was Armageddon.

In order to stop the rampage of the "Afflicted" the European Resistance Organization is formed in Western Europe to create a "Safe-Zone" where those who are not contaminated with the strange disease can live in harmony. While this happens, the Afflicted systematically invade North America by taking over key military bases and Government installations.

But how did this disease happen? Is it a bio-chemical agent? Is it the end-time as told in the Bible? Whatever the cause, the Afflicted seize control of North America and the last remaining fighting forces stationed there are in dire need of help.

Enter Bishop Six, the UK's best kept secret, a legendary Operative in the British SAS, his family was killed by the Afflicted. He is asked to participate in a Strike Team to North America.

Amen would have told the story of a dark and grim future where the political balance and societies have crumbled and terrorists control a portion of the world.
