Not much is known about the 22nd Regiment, SAS. British Governments since the end of World War II have kept any and all details regarding these highly trained operatives as quiet as possible, deploying SAS troops across the globe when the need arises for a more specialised section that 4 Para or standard British Army Units.

However, there are times that information is leaked, and one or two members of 22nd Regiment, SAS have their identities forcibly revealed. One such instance led to British Army Captain Jasmine Richardson's identity being leaked online. Shortly after, Captain Richardson requested a transfer from British Army service to American Army service, due to her split parentage.

3 weeks after her identity was revealed, Captain Jasmine Richardson was on her way to JFK Airport, New York, to begin her new life as a member of the elite United States Navy SEAL Team Four, living in New York.

However, while the United States Navy had their eye on the Captain, so did another government agency: Created to ensure the continuation of government in extreme situations, sleeper agents of the Strategic Homeland Division are recruited from SWAT, Rangers, Delta Force and SEAL Teams, highly trained agents kept in reserve for when all else fails. The Strategic Homeland Division, or shortened, The Division, approached Captain Richardson in secret, with full backing of the United States and British Governments, recruiting her into their service, and designating her as a Team Leader. With that, Captain Richardson began her service in SEAL Team Four, never expecting to be activated.

Friday, December 4th. Black Friday. A chemically enhanced version of Smallpox was distributed through bank notes, creating an international pandemic within a day. Originating in Manhattan, hospitals were quickly overwhelmed with the sick and dying, and FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), CDC (Centre for Disease Control) and CERA (Catastrophic Emergency Response Agency) mobilised to find a cure for the disease.

New York City Police SWAT teams and National Guard units, formed into a combined unit, the Joint Task Force, responded to the crisis by patrolling the hardest hit locations, referred to as the Dark Zone, starting at 55th Street, just south of Central Park and culminating at 29th Street, claiming a significant portion of Lower Manhattan.

In order to assist the JTF, the Federal Government activated the First Wave: A group of embedded Division Agents that were specially briefed and tasked with holding the Dark Zone and containing the sickness within those streets, in conjunction with the JTF. However, with increasing sickness rates among the JTF and with more and more raider gangs firing on the JTF, it was decided to pull out, walling off the Dark Zone.

The First Wave were abandoned within the Dark Zone, not informed by the Federal Government of the intent to withdraw.

However, 3 months after the crisis began, Manhattan is still a warzone, with fighting spilling out of the Dark Zone into formerly safe streets. With the JTF pushed back between attacks from the Private Military Corporation, The Last Man Battalion, rioters trying to survive and a prisoner escape from Rikers, the Federal Government activated the prepared Second Wave, under the command of US Army Ranger Major Louis Chang.

However, an explosion killed the Commander and the majority of the reinforcing agents.

With the most seniority in Division Rank, Captain Jasmine Richardson, callsign Quiet, took command of the Second Wave on the Ground, operating out of the New York City Post Office.

This is her story.
