Base Commander: All right, what is the situation?
Med-Tech: Unknown sir. We've never seen any thing like it before. It has a 100 percent mortality rate and it seems to be spread through direct fluid contact, resulting in reanimation approximately 1 to 5 minutes later.
Base Commander: Reanimation? What do you mean Reanimation!
Med-Tech: After about 5 minutes all fatalities come back to a state of un-life. They're not alive sir, but they're not dead either.
Base Commander: What do we do about it?
Med-Tech: The first one that reanimated did so on the autopsy slab and attacked the doctors in the Med-Lab. It did not stop until the guards shot it so full of holes it couldn't move. Afterwards, the head and torso, minus the limbs, were put back on the slab to continue the autopsy. We found that removing the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and the whole GI tract had no affect on the creature. It was not until we opened up it's skull that it finally stopped moving. We theorize that this, disease for lack of a better term, somehow infects and then after death re-animates dead tissue. We're not sure how or why but it seems that the head is the only weakpoint these things have.
Base Commander: I see. Get me the commanders of every company on base in my office in the next 5 minutes. We have planning to do.
Commanders Aide: Sir, yes sir. (runs to fetch company commanders)

A few similar bases around the world recieve the notice that an undead plague is about to sweep over them... for most it is already too late.

Thomas ¨¨Tom¨ Johnsson surveyed his farm, looking for the coyote that had killed his hens last week. His 12 gauge doublebarreled shotgun rested in his arm. He had the house full of weapons of all kinds, some of them illegal.
The sun set and Tom went inside to fetch a flashlight wich he taped under the barrels.
It soon grew too dark for him to see, so he decided to get the IR sight on his .308 Winchester.
He forgot to lock the door when he went inside...
