This event is going to end on June 17 to coincide with a new TV episode of Defiance in which news of the plague reaches the city.
I was playing last weekend and saw quite a few outposts overwhelmed with sick people in makeshift sickbays with rumors being spread about infected humans going into rages and killing people. Well, it looks like the outbreak is completely in effect now with hordes of infected that need to be put down. It'll be interesting to see how this ties into the series, but I don't see how the outcome of the missions would effect the series.. unless maybe everyone lets themselves be killed and then season 2 of Defiance becomes the new Walking Dead.
