"VLAD!? Smashing malls is one thing, stealing tiaras is one thing. But bioweapons?! I'm not so much concerned about who would buy them from you but why did you have your brother-in-law transport them?" --Bain

Due to Vlad's (or rather Hajrudin's) lack of care, a large amount of defoliating agents were spread across the DC area and beyond. Whatever plants were once around are now either dead or dying so expect thing to look bleak (and brown).
