Once the finest Special Operations fighting force the military could produce, now reduced to empty corpses by an enemy that never tired, never stopped, and never retreated. The fall of New Salem was the final nail in the coffin. The Joes fought valiantly but failed. Rumors of Joes surviving the waste made the rounds. No one knew for sure. Without a fixed command, hell, without a working government, there is no reason for anyone to continue the mission, a mission that with the rise of the undead was no longer needed.
None of that mattered to Vincent R. Falcone, Falcon, former Captain and member of the legendary Green Berets. With the world falling apart around him he desperately needed the focus of a mission. With no superior officers to guide him, he created his own mission, to ensure G.I.Joe survived. He helped any survivors that he could and recruited those that he felt most represented the hope and faith of his former team. He found thirteen. Thirteen men and women from all walks of life that were willing to come together to work to defeat not only the undead but also Cobra. Gone were the military protocols, rank, uniforms, and Military Operating Specialities. Now the team needed to be able to address the threat of the undead while being able to disrupt the growth of Cobra, by whatever means necessary. He found members all over the southwest, survivors looking for a reason to keep surviving. He offered them a mission. They gladly accepted.
