The Outbreak

Vashka was stationed at a fort in Malton before the outbreak. Just your typical lieutenant for the most part, that is until the outbreak occured. He and his men were on morale call for the evening when it occured; with no means of combating the new enemy, he and his subordinates fled the bar they were occupying at the time and dove into the maddness of the streets. Vashka hasn't heard from them since.

A few days later of course, as the military and government started to grasp the situation, all military personnel were ordered to report to given meeting points around the city to be evacuated; being loyal to the orders, he made his way to one of the waypoints. Once there, only then did he realize they were going to be evacuated to the borders of the city, to contain all of it's inhabitants. Vashka disagreed with this, and in the cover of darkness that night, he stocked up on all the ammunition he could carry, weapons, and medical supplies and made his way into the city, instead of retreating.

It wasn't long before he heard rumors of other people with his mindset doing the same thing -- instead of running away, they were running into the hell that Malton had become; calling themselves the Malton Civil Defense Unit, who was collaborating with the cities' fire department, and police department, under the umbrella of the newly formed Department of Emergency Management. It seemed the city was on it's own -- the federal government's only actions were to allow the military to fly in supply drops for the remaining survivors in the city, who decided to stay or were left behind. Thus the city took it's fate into it's own hands.

The soldier was ushered into the Academy, in which he studied to become a member of the Malton Civil Defense Unit -- considering he had heard about it from other survivors who were coming back into the city to help. There he trained to become a tool of service, to help the people of Malton. Upon graduating, he was offered a position as an Officer in the MCDU, in which he accepted -- taking over the Kill Team.

Thus he continues this life, leading his men and himself for the betterment of the city and helping where and when possible. The story has just begun.

Begin Point

When Vashka first arrived and met up with the Kill Team, they were stationed in the suburb of Gulsonside, resting and resupplying in the well-populated Blesley Mall. There he first learned of the command gap that was currently present within the MCDU. The now defunct Commander of the MCDU had been MIA for quite some time now, which left a delay in orders and duties. Vashka, quickly adjusting to the situation, drew up plans to move the Kill Team out. More precisely to the northwest, to the suburb of Tollyton, which was currently under zombie control.

When arriving there, the newly appointed MCDU officer quickly learned what life was like on the direct frontlines of Malton city. Weeks would go by without any direct orders from Command, so the Kill Team, supported by the Revive Team, slowly and piece-by-piece took back the suburb and secured vital resource buildings, especially the much-needed Woodroffe Mall. A fine job his men did, carrying out their orders flawlessly, which helped speed up the process of the retaking to a point. Soonafter the suburb was in control, the command void within the MCDU was filled, due to the return of the MCDU founder, Fire Marhshall Bill, who was appointed and accepted the role as the Commander of the MCDU once again, which offically ended his premature retirement.

After his arrival, the entire MCDU received a makeover. The Kill Team, along with the other teams were taken apart and sorted. Ranks changed, orders changed, structure changed; everything changed. Once the dust had cleared, Vashka found himself at the helm of a new unit: MCDU Unit One, "The Death Dealers." Everything which Vashka had grown used to in the past few weeks had suddenly been removed, and again he was going through the process of change. Though, despite the changes, he only allowed the ripples of structure reorganization effect him minimally.

In order for all of these changes to take place, the MCDU had to do something it wasn't accustomed to; every member had to rally to a single suburb. The initial orders were to meet up with the Special Reponse Unit (formally the MACH team). Though, Vashka and his men were hesitant and reluctant to leave the suburb they had fought so hard for in the past weeks, securing and barricading it with only a small amount of men: Tollyton. After Command heard their opinions, the decision was made. The rebirth of the MCDU was to take place in an area that the MCDU had single-handedly secured, and that was the suburb of Tollyton.

Life continues once more for Vashka and his men. A return to normalcy to a point as everyone has finally adjusted to the changes. The mission remains to same, as ever. To help those in need and that no survivor should have to fight alone as long as the MCDU is around. The story will continue.
