'It had been suspected, since the end of the Second World War, that the Soviet troops who invaded Manchuria captured most of the Japanese scientists, data, and test subjects involved in Black Dragon's special project. These rumors turned out to be true. The purpose of this new project was to create a secret army for the inevitable Third World War. 'Cherry Blossom', rechristened 'Sturgeon', was conducted near a small town in Eastern Siberia whose only other structure was a large prison for political dissidents. Based on recent findings, we are able to determine that the experiments went awry, causing an outbreak of several hundred zombies. What few scientists were left managed to escape to the prison. They settled down for what was thought to be a short siege until help came. None did. Some believe that the town's remote nature prevented an immediate response. Others believed that, since the project had been started by Stalin, the KGB was reluctant to inform Premier Khrushchev of its existence. Another theory holds that the Soviet leadership was aware of the disaster, had ringed the area with troops to prevent a breakout. Inside the prison walls, a coalition of scientists, military personnel and prisoners was surviving quite well. Greenhouses were constructed and wells were dug. Power was improvised by windmills and human dynamos. Radio contact was maintained on a daily basis. The survivors reported that they could hold out until winter, when the undead would freeze solid. 3 days before the first frost, a Soviet aircraft dropped a crude thermonuclear device on Byelgoransk. The blast obliterated the town, the prison, and the surrounding area.'
