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."

Maria was sneaking through the area toward the radio tower, her eyes shifting around slowly as she tried to get an idea of where she needed to go. She saw a few undead in the area, and quickly ducked to the side and let them pass. Her breath was tight in her chest as she waited, and she tried to keep her heart rate down, as impossible as that would be. When the undead passed, she continued to sneak by in total silence, successfully moving toward and into the radio tower.

Closing the door behind her, Maria did a small little dance before looking at what she was tasked to do. The top of the stairs led to a room with hundreds of communication lines. Reprimanding at what she faced, she connected to one, and heard static.

"So...this is what I will need to deal with...great."

She tried again, this time with a switch farther down the line. It once again came back as static and maybe a voice, but nothing was clear. Rubbing her eyes, she flipped it off and moved away.

The next station she grabbed was a radio feed of the post-Zero broadcast. Maria laughed a bit at the news, and shook her head before turning it off. She heard enough of it in the prison, there was no need to listen to the feed this late in the game.

When she checked for the third time and heard static, Maria let out a curse and turned it off just as quickly. She listened to the silence and swore she would try one more time, but then she needed to go. Nothing was safe, and it was stupid to sit around for too long.

Maria tried her last one, and for once she got success. She almost didn't believe what she heard.

"-- 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."

Fumbling with the radio she was using on and off, she confirmed the information with the strangers, warning them of the message. It seemed that as she turned the radio down once more, she realized the time, and rushed back out. She needed to get back to the prison and let someone know, in case it was something that needed to be heeded.

Better to be safe than sorry.
