a hospital located in the outskirts of the city of bismarck. disguised to be a normal facility, this hospital has a good reputation, at least on a superficial level. there are rumors that the hospital experiments on its patients, though no evidence of this has surfaced (yet). however, people who have appointments past the fifth floor tend not to return, their records expunged and bodies mysteriously missing; only "expertly qualified" doctors and staff are allowed on the sixth floor and above. strange noises can be heard coming from the top floors in the dead of night. . .
the bismarck morgue is a washed out, derelict place that's run by sketchy individuals. while not all of the employees are malicious, the atmosphere of the workplace is certainly rather macabre. the employees routinely prepare autopsies, embalm & prep bodies for burial, and cremate bodies, so they're all rather desensitized to gore and death. the bismarck morgue also employs a "clean up crew" of ghouls, an undead species that feeds on the diseased remains of other species. these employees eat the infected bodies and cremate the remains to help get rid of biohazards that could contribute to an epidemic.
