During all of the chaos and toxic aftermath going on in the world, a small   group whose name is unknown, proposed an idea to the population. They did this by typewriting files and sending messengers across to other communities. Soon enough the messages were sent to most of the population of Terra. The message included a transcript. The full transcript was never recovered, but a snippet was later found. This was the included message:

 

[BEGIN CHAPTER]

Greetings, all of my fellow human beings. I am aware we are all suffering hardship and tremendous loss, and on top of that, we are  on the verge of extreme extinction. All of our homes and countries have been eradicated and our loved ones as well. My name is [REDACTED] Fedorov, and I come from a small community known as [REDACTED]. Now I am aware you all may be wondering how this message has gotten to you, and I am here to tell you that this message has reached you because of fate. I have written this excerpt to reach the rest of the population on this dying planet, in order to offer a solution for a better life, a better home, and a new family. I wish to unite Terra, I wish to regain our homeland and start a new. If we keep living like this, we are all going to die out, and Terra will be alone drifting in space. A dark planet, and we all do not want that. We want to succeed and start a new life for generations to come. Under my safe haven, the unfortunate* will be treated and returned to their normal self. So, mankind, will you let me aid and lead our species into greatness?

Unfortunate - Mutants/bearers of the Red Fever.

All copies of the transcript were written in different languages, it is not known what the original language of the transcript was, or who wrote it. Some believe it is the Emperor of the Terran Imperium who wrote it, but that was quickly and immediately claimed false by the Imperium’s lords. After this message reached 95% of the Terran population, they quickly jumped to theories to find out where the original author was, as he offered everything they have been looking for. Soon after, communities started being greeted by what were called as “Shocktroopers”  they were armored men with unusual firearms. They claimed to be representatives of the transcript’s author. They offered to take survivors to the author’s community, in order to start the unification of earth, under a new empire. Civilians started gathering their belongings, firearms and food. They gathered all of the armor they can get, in hopes to make it there alive without being infected or attacked by the infected. The “Shocktroopers” were ordered to keep all unarmed survivors safe during this great migration, which is now known as “The Great March”.
