In a bloody coup, a coalition of the country’s top military leaders has over-thrown the civilian government of the east African country of Eslodia.
The military forces massacred the President and his family as they tried to flee the Presidential Palace. The coalition’s supporters have executed popular politicians and their families, and dragging respected citizens from their homes, have made them disappear. Meanwhile, the population of the country’s cities lives in terror, never knowing who the militia will strike next. The newly formed military government has blacked out communications, silenced the media, and suppressed civil liberties. International embassies take measures to protect themselves against the growing violence, they send home all non-essential personnel, and request all visiting nationals to leave the country immediately.
In the poverty-stricken rural areas, the effect of the coup was quick in coming as the violence spread outside the city walls. Army soldiers seek out the loyalists who have gone into hiding with the remaining pockets of resistance and they vent their wrath on those even suspected of sympathy for the old regime. Isolated from the control of their new government, these local militias create their own fiefdoms; raiding nearby communities for supplies and labor.
So far, the isolated mission community of Tartu has been untouched by the violence of the civil war. A thin trickle of refugees hoping to escape Eslodia over the mountains to the east is the only effect the outpost has witnessed. The small hospital and its dedicated staff continue to care for the natives, as well the refugees who are now arriving with greater frequency. The missionaries devote their time to counseling and comforting to those who have suffered. Even the young international aid workers, who came to teach and learn, now find themselves pressed into more serious duties.
Tartu may be experiencing the final calm before the great storm arrives and it is up to the staff to decide whether they will join the refugees and attempt the dangerous flight across the mountains or remain in Tartu to continue their work.
OOC: There is room for anyone who wants to be anything in this thread. Any type of character could be a refugee, a native or a foreigner trying to get home. There can be clergy men/women, priests, nuns, and novices. How about some soldiers, like evil militia, loyalists, mercenaries, or special operatives? Young aid workers, could be idealists, escapists, bored socialites. The hospital could use another doctor, a nurse or two and some locals. Lots of locals.

Name: Dr. Claire Arden
Age : 27
Appearance: The sun has lightened her long brown hair, just as it has tanned her fair skin and the blessed her nose with a faint spray of freckles. Her eyes are a clear steady gray that seem to miss little. The soft curves of her 5’6” frame hide a wiry strength that she has only recently developed.
Three weeks after Claire arrived at Tartu to assist Dr. Grant, Dr Grant was sent back to the US with a broken leg, leaving Claire in charge of the mission hospital. Three weeks after Claire took over the hospital, the military brutally toppled the elected government of Eslodia.
Raised in a large Irish family, surrounded by police officers, firefighters, teachers, priests and nuns, Claire decided early that she wanted to dedicate her life to helping others. She even briefly considered becoming a nun, until the Sisters pointed out how ill suited she was to follow the vows of Chastity and Obedience. Instead, she chose medicine and as soon as she was able, she volunteered to serve wherever her skills were needed. The international aid society sent her to Tartu and for the past 6 weeks, Claire has been doing everything she can to keep the mission operating efficiently.
