Security: Security Maintenance
That electric fence around our perimeter is important for keeping the monsters out, so it's within our interest to keep it up. Sometimes the zombies get stuck on it. We'll want to dispose of those. You must write a minimum of 300 words in this quest to be able to claim any reward.

Step One: Finding electrified zombies
Before anything else, you need to find where the bodies are. Start scouting along the perimeter to see what you can find.

Roll 1d4. This determines the amount of corpses you find along the fence.

Step Two: Removing the corpse
Next is the real tricky part. Getting the zombies off the fence without frying yourself in the process. Hope you have some rubber gloves!

Roll 1d20 for every zombie you have found. You can do this in one or multiple posts. Up to you.

1. Critical fail! BZZZAAP! You feel a painful jolt of electricity before flying back and away from the fence in shock. There's a hint of smoking flesh in the air and the body also remains stuck to the fence. Take 10 damage.
2-10. You manage to pry the body off, getting a little zapped in the process. Take 2 damage.
11-19. You manage to pry the body off without any issue.
20. Critical success! Wow, that zombie was really two bodies stuck together! Two for the price of one. +2 bars to your final tally

Rewards
For every zombie you have successfully removed from the fence, you earn 2 bars.

In addition to the rewards already listed, if you are successfully remove at least half of your (round up) zombie bodies without hurting yourself, you also receive 25% Security Cred. Otherwise, you earn 10% Security Cred. Please keep track of your Cred in your journal! You will need it in order to complete Officer level quests!

This was something that happened in the movies. A ragtag bunch of survivors living at the mercy of an electric fence. A lone rube sent out to keep it clean. But unlike those movies where the unsuspecting loser started picking at one of the corpses only to have it—surprise!—jump up and try to kill him, in this case that was guaranteed to happen. Electric fences didn't eliminate undying entirely, they just incapacitated and discouraged them. Max had wanted to help with keeping the place secure. He hadn't thought he'd be doing something so fruitless.

As he made his way around the perimeter, he told himself it was all for the best. Without a cleanup crew, zombie bodies would just pile up endlessly, eventually resulting in a heap so high that human and undying alike would be able to scale it. By removing this pair of snarling undead, he would be prolonging the lives of everyone in the prison... if he could call what he had now a life. Max shook off the thought. This life was what it was. The alternative had been driving a van day in and day out, seeing his kids once a week and growing further and further from them with each visit. He had the clean break he had never admitted he had wished for, and he'd only had to pay with... this.

Max reached for the first creature, recoiling slightly as it sent a spark through his hand. Unpleasant, but he supposed it could have been worse. He paused, pushing at the second undying and ignoring its snarls as it fell away. Things weren't so bad here. He had friends... well... friend, and he was working his way up in the ranks, impressing a man he'd never much cared for. This was his life now. It would have to do until the world changed again.
