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 were more lines than Liam would have thought, and the sight of them made him blanch a little, features falling from lingering triumph over sneaking past the undying, to the sort of dead that he used to experience before exams in high school. it had him wishing he hadn't attempted this alone. That he'd gone and found Austin and made him come along, because the older boy was a lot smarter than he, and he'd probably have a much better idea of how to go about this.

Hell, he'd even take Havard's assistance, even if it meant condescending comments the entire time. It was a fair trade off, if they walked away having heard something important.

Unsure, Liam headed into the room, looking over the various wires tensely, before picking one.

[ooops]

Static again. Grimacing, he put the wire back where he'd found it, then reached for a different one.

Static again.

He tried to wiggle a wire.

Something, but hard to make out and very muffled. He tried to adjust the wires to hear it better.

The radio responded with the same message again, and Liam slumped against the control counsel. "Come on, please?"

More of the same. Mumbling, muffled voices that he couldn't make out.
