Quarantine Zones

Saurian Plague

The Saurian Plague is a highly infectious prehistoric microorganism first identified during the Climax, Nevada Incident in May 1993. Federal investigators later determined that the pathogen originated from ancient fossil material recovered by Eunice Corporation and was intentionally modified by Dr. Jane Tiptree prior to the outbreak.

Unlike conventional diseases, the Saurian Plague was engineered to remain harmless within reconstructed prehistoric animals and modern animals while remaining extremely lethal to humans. Infected dinosaurs act as biological carriers, spreading the pathogen through bodily fluids, airborne particles released from deceased infected animals, contaminated environments, and direct exposure to infected tissue.

Current estimates place the disease's fatality rate at approximately 90%.

Symptoms

Early symptoms typically appear within several days of exposure and closely resemble seasonal influenza before rapidly progressing.

Documented symptoms include:

Fever
Persistent cough
Fatigue
Muscle pain
Respiratory distress
Internal bleeding
Organ failure

The disease frequently progresses into complete systemic failure.

Prevention

Residents living near quarantine boundaries should follow all federal containment guidance.

Recommended precautions include:

Never approach reconstructed prehistoric animals.
Avoid contact with blood, saliva, feathers, scales, or carcasses.
Immediately report suspected dinosaur sightings.
Do not enter quarantine zones
Follow all evacuation and military checkpoint instructions.

Extreme heat has been shown to destroy the microorganism under controlled laboratory conditions. However, field conditions often prevent complete sterilization, particularly following the death of infected animals.

Immunity

Research remains ongoing regarding natural resistance to the Saurian Plague.

Recovered Eunice Corporation records indicate that individuals whose genetic profile closely resembles that of Dr. Jane Tiptree may possess varying degrees of natural immunity.

Current findings suggest immunity exists along a spectrum rather than as complete resistance.

Individuals with minor genetic similarity may experience reduced symptom severity, while those with exceptionally close genetic matches appear significantly less affected by the pathogen.

The biological mechanism responsible for this resistance remains unknown.

At this time, no vaccine or universally effective treatment exists.

Climax, Neveda QUARANTINE ZONE

The Climax Quarantine Zone encompasses the former mining community of Climax, Nevada, and the surrounding Eunice Corporation research complex.

The quarantine was established on May 18, 1993, after federal authorities confirmed simultaneous outbreaks of the Saurian Plague and multiple reconstructed prehistoric predators following a containment failure at the Eunice Corporation.

Military operations isolated the region before conducting large-scale incendiary bombing intended to eliminate infected wildlife and destroy contaminated infrastructure.

Although the operation successfully destroyed the Tyrannosaurus specimen and most known Deinonychus, later investigations determined that at least one Deinonychus survived the bombing. Evidence recovered during subsequent investigations indicated that this surviving individual later migrated into California, where it established a reproducing population.

Federal investigators returned to the destroyed Eunice facility in 1996 after dinosaur sightings increased throughout California. During that investigation, personnel discovered a previously unknown underground laboratory complex hidden beneath the original research facility.

Recovered documents revealed that Eunice Corporation had secretly expanded Project Lazarus for years. The underground laboratories contained failed reconstruction experiments, preserved prehistoric DNA samples, and evidence of additional species never documented during the original investigation.

Although one surviving Dilophosaurus specimen was discovered and neutralized during the operation, contamination throughout the facility remained extensive.

Today, Climax remains under indefinite federal quarantine. Unauthorized entry is prohibited due to persistent biological contamination, unstable infrastructure, and the continued possibility of undiscovered prehistoric organisms or infectious material remaining within the exclusion zone.

California QUARANTINE ZONE

Following confirmation that the surviving Deinonychus from the Climax Incident had established breeding populations throughout California, federal authorities initiated large-scale containment operations during 1996.

Military extermination campaigns ultimately failed as dinosaur populations expanded faster than they could be eliminated, while the deaths of infected animals released additional Saurian Plague contamination into surrounding environments.

In December 1996, California was formally designated a federal quarantine zone. Highways, airports, railways, and maritime routes were closed, with military checkpoints enforcing the state's isolation.

Sacramento

The Sacramento region became the center of the largest known Deinonychus population. These animals demonstrated coordinated pack behavior, advanced problem-solving abilities, and frequent attacks against military units. Forests and suburban neighborhoods remain classified as high-risk areas.

San Francisco

The Bay Area is primarily inhabited by Megalosaurus populations. Although born without functional eyesight, these predators compensate through exceptional hearing and olfactory senses. Their unusually thick skin provides significant protection against conventional firearms, requiring heavy weapons for effective neutralization.

San Jose

Altispinax populations dominate much of the San Jose region. Numerous encounters have been associated with unexplained electrical disturbances, including radio interference, communications failures, power outages, and vehicle malfunctions.

Fresno

Fresno experienced widespread Dilophosaurus expansion following repeated attacks on poultry farms and agricultural facilities. Unlike other reconstructed species, Dilophosaurus specimens have demonstrated an unusual ability to survive environmental conditions capable of destroying the Saurian Plague, making containment operations especially difficult.

Los Angeles

The Los Angeles region contains Tarbosaurus populations possessing advanced camouflage capabilities produced by specialized skin cells first documented within recovered Eunice Corporation research. Individuals have repeatedly remained undetected in heavily populated urban environments before attacking with little warning. The species also displays an unusually limited response to physical injury.

San Diego

Southern California remains home to the largest known Tyrannosaurus population. Multiple attacks on residential neighborhoods, military forces, and zoological facilities resulted in extensive casualties during 1996. The region experienced the first large-scale military engagement of the California campaign and continues to present one of the highest concentrations of both prehistoric predators and environmental Saurian Plague contamination.
