Collective Benevolence (Charter REGMD982.90.2012) was a volunteer non-profit Maryland chartered organization that helped locals adhere to the Federal Fitness Registry. It operated in the Point Lookout area, out of the disaster relief outpost in St Mary's County, Maryland in 2077.[1]
Background[]
Composed of volunteers, this association required its members to adhere to its standards in public and private. Its goal was to evaluate the medical and social needs of the local populace, raise awareness of such risks and provide aid where it could locally. Such as assisting with the implementation of the Federal Fitness Registry Compliance program.[2] Ostensibly to help the federal government to identify those with the New Plague,[3] in reality the program was to register persons suspected of having communist sympathies.[4][5]
When Collective Benevolence arrived at Point Lookout it was already after the Federal Fitness Registry minimal presence came and went. They were authorized to use its leftover equipment from storage. When they arrived in town they first set themselves up in the local motel, their lead[6] and Victoria would focus on setting up an outreach center while the others would go out into the community and learn what the situation on the ground was.[7] The location they were given as their outreach center was insufficient to the task at hand. Haphazardly constructed and half completed, the real estate company wasn't much help. The lead would request field supplies to set up an outdoor center until they could improve the actual location.[8]
The outdoor location they would construct would be by the beach, but wouldn't see much use. When the volunteers arrived back to report their initial findings, they concluded that the rural area lacked basic infrastructure. Their lead concluded that they should start with basic vaccines and sanitation supplies.[8] From their report the majority of the population in the central area of Point Lookout were transplants from nearby urban centers. Contracted construction workers, support staff for local businesses, and the handful of business people involved in said construction projects. In actuality the actual local populace, whom they believed they were there to help, never left their dwellings in the wetlands. They were so extremely reclusive, they never entered town.[9]
Their one true encounter with locals was a brutal one. Victoria took a truck of supplies to the Ark & Dove Cathedral beyond the river. It being the closest public building to the wetlands. When she arrived it was deserted, seeking to make contact with the actual locals she ventured into the swamps to try and make contact at one of the primitive shacks within. She was struck on the head, her skull fractured. Nothing was stolen from her person, nor their truck. The paramedics treated her wound but she didn't remember anything past the blackout. Their lead would forbid volunteers from wandering out there alone, determining that they would err on the side of caution and do their best from their outpost.[10]
