## Biography

### 2040 Invasion of Chicago

*Main articles: 2040 Invasion of Chicago, Voltaic, Calamity of Chicago*

#### **June 1, 2024 ("Day 1")**

Zoe is hosting her engagement party with her fiance Jake in Chicago when electrical appliances catch fire. The couple, together with their best friend Adam and other guests, flee from the apartment building.

While waiting for their turn to board a rescue helicopter down outside the apartment lobby, a helicopter is taken down by an alien. Zoe, Adam and Jake take an alternative escape route and attempt to leave the city by Adam’s car, only to find out that the city has been locked down.

The group ditches the car in the jam. Zoe suggests head to the nearest train station with plans to return to the apartment to retrieve her cell phone so that they can contact rescue services.

#### **June 2, 2024 ("Day 2")**

Later at the apartment, Zoe calls a rescue hotline, but Adam hears Zoe's elderly neighbor weeping. As they head over to investigate, they find an alien in the neighbor's unit and the weeping woman. Zoe is attacked and her arm is crushed by the alien, but Adam shoots the alien dead. The group then leaves the apartment quickly with the old woman, Pamela, as aliens go after them from outside.

Zoe guides them to a service elevator, allowing them to escape before the aliens could get to them. They return to the train station, where dozens of additional aliens chase after them. However, they escape on the train just in time to avoid getting attacked.

The group arrives at the station nearest to the refugee camp as Zoe guides the rest to it. At the building lobby, Zoe is nearly attacked by an alien, but she is blocked by Pamela, who gets impaled. Adam later shoots the alien dead, but Pamela passes away.

The remaining trio proceed to the basement of the building, where the refugee camp is set up. Zoe is reunited with her long-lost “childhood brother”, Larry, now a Valor member, together with his other friends.

#### **June 6, 2024 ("Day 6")**

Zoe and the others follow along with Adam and Larry’s plan as they divert from the main group of refugees, having plotted their own escape route. However, the camp is invaded by aliens, causing one of Larry's friends, Veronica, to go missing. Zoe, Adam, Jake and Pamela’s son, Christopher and grandson leave without Larry's group as they stay behind to look for Veronica.

Zoe and the group flee to the same train station they had come from days ago, where Christopher is unfortunately killed.

#### **June 7, 2024 ("Day 7")**

Zoe leaves the station with the rest of the group on a train after Adam sends out an SOS signal with Larry's radio, eventually getting a response from Valor, which informs him and his group to wait at the roof of the Tribune East Tower for a rescue helicopter.

Later at the roof, Zoe and her group queue to get a spot in a chopper. When their turn reaches, however, the helicopter pilot reveals to them that there are not enough seats for all of them. Zoe then says her goodbyes to her fiance as he volunteers to stay behind and wait for the next chopper. As Adam and his group finally escapes from the city, the Tribune East Tower collapses with Jake supposedly still on it.
