Jon is in stasis.

The remaining humans have coalesced in a final push against the vile abomination known as Garfield, or, more commonly amongst the dwindling forces that make up humanity's armies, "the cat". Humanity's largest fortress is Washington DC, now the most heavily guarded city-state on the planet, with other bases in Beijing, the English isles, and South Africa.

AMERICA
DEATHS

In the initial psionic attack, the President, multiple senators, and a supreme court justice were killed, and the vice president was installed as Commander-in-Chief of the remaining armed forces. Twenty-nine million civilian deaths were reported on that day. Infestations have been reported in Nebraska, northern California, and South Carolina.

Canada suffered far less casualties, but the west coast has been infested by Garfield.

South America has had infestations in Bolivia and Uruguay, and the United States has extended its help to the militaries of those areas to manage refugees. Chile is the South American base of operations.

RESPONSE

The Vice President of the United States has been moved to a secure location, as well as what is left of the senate. FEMA in joint with the US military has mobilized evacuation teams to recover any refugees and move them towards reality-anchored safe zones. The Army has established a new subbranch dedicated to studying and combating psionic attacks.

EUROPE
DEATHS

Switzerland, Greece, and England have become the three best-protected areas for European refugees fleeing from infection points in France and Ukraine. Fifty-eight million civilian deaths have been reported.
