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."

There was a tickle of hope in Candice's chest at the thought of maybe contacting someone over the radio tower so she set off with an energy she hadn't yet found after the battle. Sure she still felt like roadkill, but this could be a game changer. She felt that until she came upon the hoards of undead swarming around. Watching the dark masses was renewing her dizziness and she stopped to think and calm her mind.

Candice was fast, so running could be an option, but it could also be bad news to have a hoard of them chasing her. She also didn't currently possess the stamina to run that far. One wrong move and that was it. She was also pretty small, with a combo of stealth and quick prints she might be able to make it mostly unseen, Steeling herself and blocking out the slow fear creeping its way in her mind she reminded herself of the radio and started her trek across.

She took it slow, hiding behind cover and then moving only when she was sure it was safe. A couple times she ended up waiting a while, maybe they had heard her? Or did they have other ways of sensing them. Smell? Didn't matter, Candice was past most of the mob of them. She gathered up her nerve and sprinted the last bit, continuing her run right onto and atop the ladders. Once she was a good height, she stole a glance down. Most of them still hadn't noticed her though some had gathered at the base.

Candice mouth was agape as she stared at the hundreds of wires crossing the room. She really didn't know the first thing about how the radio tower worked, but she was safe inside and had the time to try.

Her heart jumped at the sound of speech but despite her fiddling she couldn't make out any of it.

Candice tried again, sporadically turning the tuner and flipping switches. All she could seem to find was static, and she felt a small swelling of panic.

She tried slower now but still was only met with static. She would even take the distant incomprehensible voices again. It was disheartening. The bandits would just do it themselves if it were easy, so she had to prepare for a long trek through this.

The constant static was frustrating. She gritted her teeth and readjusted herself in her seat. Then Candice tried again.

Candice almost jumped up at the sound of talking and attempted to squeeze the headphone closer on her head. It still didn't help, the line was too fuzzy.

Candice did jump up, stupidly, and ended having her head whip back because she was still wearing the headphones. Luckily it replayed, but unluckily it was pre-recorded message. Candice snorted, this was too much for local authorities. How many people had heard this and are now dead for it?

After a few repeats of the emergency broadcast she messed around with everything again, but just ever so slightly. This netted her more voices. This was not anywhere as clear as the broadcast but at least she could make some of it out."Seven days what!?" she shouted at the radio, but the station was all just static.

Candice continued her minuet tuning but she only found another unintelligible voice. She just had to sit it out. That last bit had been important, she knew it, if she had just heard it all. There had to be more information she could get here.

Candice had found it one full turn over, past more static. She listened intently, shocked at what she heard. She had seen the thorns, but she didn't think much of them, not when undead were trying to eat you. They seemed an unfortunate occurrence but didn't seem to be particularly dangerous save the thorns. How could they be contagious. It seemed she had something else to fear. How could they do anything if the thorns were the cause and indestructible? She can't leave? What?

Candice slowly removed the headphones and placed them on the table. She paced the small room for a while before braving the trip back. She had got her information, but she didn't like it.
