gaia_crown [ OBJECTIVE 3: ]

- Try to make communications with the outside world
OOC: Try to make communications with the outside world. There is a RADIO CONTROL station set up. Unfortunately, masses of the infected wander around it. You need to sneak around the masses undetected to try to get to the top of the radio tower to work it.

[ Step 1 ] Radio tower detection is determined by how much your character is carrying.

A player character NOTHING in their (minis) inventory rolls 1d4. A victory is a 1-3

A player carrying 1 item in their minis inventory rolls 1d6. A victory is a 1-4

A player carrying 2 items in their minis inventory rolls 1d10. A victory is a 1-5

If you roll a FAIL, the mobs of infected notice you, and begin to chase you. GAME OVER (this task is a FAIL). Otherwise, continue forward.

[ Step 2 ]

You reach the top of the radio tower. Now, you see why this is an issue. At the top of the stairs is a room, and it is filled with hundreds of different communications lines. You would have to try each one to see if it works. It would take hours, days, if not months.

Roll 1d100. Match your dice roll to the result below an RP it out. You may keep on rolling until you are satisfied with your result, and then you may leave at any point.

1- 20: You get static on your line. It didn't work.

21 - 40: You get what sounds like someone talking on the line but it is difficult to make out.

41 - 60: You hear something. Someone shouting "Hello? This is-." It gets cut off.

61 - 80: You hear something. It comes loud and clear. "This is prerecorded emergency broadcast. If you are listening to this, you are in critical danger. Find the nearest shelter immediately and hide until further authorities notify you. Do not attempt to contact local authorities. Do not leave your house. This is not a drill."

81-90: You hear something. "- supplies shipped in daily. We try to do it from the air but we don't have many choppers left. They will dwindle after a while. --- seven days --- then ----" It cuts off.

91-100: You hear something. "-- you don't know me but I'm here to help you. Don't listen to anything they tell you. They have it wrong. -- Listen closely. -- undying are not the problem. The thorns are. They cannot be destroyed. Avoid them -- contagious -- do not touch. -- spread. That's how the virus replicates. -- too late for you. They will not let you leave."

Mission Bonus: +1 random clothing item. Pick it up here after dropping off the form below.
Faction Bonus:+ 1 bonus district point in your choice (drop off using the bonus district points form in your main faction info thread)
Difficulty: gaia_star gaia_star

[ Step 1 - Pass! ]

Someone had mentioned there being a radio control station in the area and that was something worth looking into. The good thing was, there was indeed a station. The downside? Masses of undead had decided that this was the best place to gather and had milled in around it. It was still possible to get to the station and the tower, oh yes. But it was going to require extreme care and a lot of patience, not to mention silence. Something he was not an expert at and furthermore, at the moment he probably wouldn't even realize he had made a sound if he did. His ears was still very much non functional.

Excellent.

Tying down any loose objects that might make a noise, Rook crouched down as low to the ground as he could manage and carefully picked a path out between the lurching crowd of undead. He seemed to be doing something right too, because in spite of his usual habit of making his presence known, none seemed to acknowledge him as he crept on by, allowing him to reach the tower with little trouble.

Reaching the top of the tower, Rook set to work on getting the radio on and functional. But seeing as he was no expert on electronics and the room was completely filled wires and switches ********! How did anyone operate this piece of crap? His head was spinning just looking at it all.

Eventually something did happen, he could hear chatter on the line. But the words were lost on him as they were muffled by static and he could barely make out any sounds anyways. Which was something he hadn't really considered when he climbed all the way up here.

Oh well. He was already here, he might as well keep at it for a little while.

Well now he just undid whatever work he managed and the line returned to empty static.

He fiddled with it some more, but no dice. He could try a little longer, but he really did need to think about getting back to the group and he wouldn't be able to do that his path was closed off by undead.

But really, Rook was seriously bad with electronics. He was beginning to wonder if he should have brought someone else along.

"Come on..." He muttered, giving one of the devices a good smack.

The hit seemed to do some good, because the chatter was back and for the first time since he got up here, some words were clearly heard.

"Yes! Hell--" He cursed when the line fell silent and the message cut short.

To say he was frustrated was a bit of an understatement and it took a lot for the red head to lose his cool. But having come that close and then nothing, again. It was a little much.

Rook's eye lit up when the voice returned. He had seriously begun to think the thing was busted when it crackled to life again. Unfortunately the voice he had been hoping belonged to living body on the other side, turned out was merely a per-recorded message, left he assumed for survivors in the area.

"Yeah no s**t we're in danger." He muttered, continuing to work on adjusting the line. He was well aware of the situation. What he wanted was advice that was actually going to provide some solid help.

Fiddling with the line seemed to cause the message to reset and cut off entirely once again.

Silence again and he was honestly beginning to think this thing deserved to get another good smack.

It was decided, the smack was deserved and he gave the piece of junk a solid thunk against the top.

"I'm beginning to think this thing is busted." Was all he grumbled as he pinched the bridge of his nose. How much time had he wasted trying to get it to work? He really needed to think on getting back soon.

If it didn't start to work soon, radio be damned, he would just leave. It was not worth it.

"Yes, yes. Hello again." He continued to fiddle with the machine, ignoring the repeated message.
