Let me know what you think or what ideas you have it can fit for back ground fluff you can add in campaigns and also gives us a kind of branding.

Well the special infected are just an ... "Abnormal" {If you could call it such, when everyone else infected could hardly be considered a normal mutation in the first place}

I'm considering the differences between the events, though. This was more of an unexpected accident. No one had time to have made some evil scheme of what to do with the undead, let alone get in there to catch them.

"Human preservation Society *would* sound good for a load of crazy scientists and soldiers who're working with survivors in a safe-zone dedicated to finding either a cure, or a long-term method of destroying the plague.

Consider mostly though that this has taken the world by suprise. It's not one isolated case in London, that the world can look on and say "Haha, England. Too cocky"
They go "Fuck England, we've got our own infection to fend off"

But yea, special infected aren't just creations, they're formed from a far more stable reaction to the invasive DNA.
But yea, if you want to create more of a.. Pheonix-like "We rose from the apocalypse to save humanity" kind of groups then go for it, but even evil groups would struggle to get anything into action against something only a month or two into it.


One last thing;
I have planned all along for missions including... Less than friendly soldiers. Those who take the "Shoot to kill" directive too far. Those who are hellbent on guarding their own supplies, and not sharing for the world.
But yea, London is closed off. The military for the most part evacuated people and set up that cordon. What's left inside are the abandoned, or those who stayed for sentimentality, foolhardiness or.. Simply because they're like you and me..
We'd love to hang about for the fun of it >:D
