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

They knew the plan. It was a stupid, ridiculous plan, but that was the only thing he could think of. Bad enough Lola insisted on coming, but once that woman set her mind on something, there was no deterring her from it. It wasn't a matter of her not being able to handle herself; Al just worried over the possibility of her getting killed. Or worse, coming back.

"Ready?" He breathed, unable to even hear himself. ******** shitty lack of hearing. The man tensed, waiting for a break in the undead swarm... and took off at a jog, trying to run quietly, but quickly. He wasn't going to spend anymore time by these ******** creeps than he had to.

God, he hoped this wasn't a horrible mistake.

Her broken jaw was throbbing, why was she out here in the dark doing God knows what, again?? Oh, right. To help Al out since he was being all hero-again with this mission crap.

Trailing behind her husband by several yards, her hand cradled her face as she let out a pitiful whimper. Radio shmadio, she didn't know how to work any of that older technology, so why give them a mission to work on something they'd probably botch up?

A rustle off to the side caught her attention, obviously summoned by her whimper. She froze, her head slowly moving to inspect her surroundings.

Oh no.

The zombie had seen her - thankfully, it was a one-legged zombie, crawling and hopping its way towards her, mouth drooling and dripping from its apparently recent meal, judging by the entrails and blood still wet on its grotesque lips.

"Uh... honey.... you go on ahead...." Her voice remained steady, the sound a few notches above a normal talking voice. She only hoped to God she didn't summon more, but she didn't want to endanger her husband (or the mission) as well. "I'm going to head back to base....try to lose my new friend in the process...."

His head turned and he looked at her quizzically, before noticing the "friend" she was speaking of. She knew he'd immediately dash to help, but she cut his thoughts off with, "We need this mission finished - it's up to you now, sugar."

With that, she dashed off back towards the Prison, taking her hobbling, pitiful looking zombie friend with her.

Al froze, his eyes wide with horror as he watched Lola dash back towards the safety of the base with that ******** monster shambling hot on her heels. His fist clenched, trying not to lose his temper and dash after the pair of them. He'd bash that ******** drooler's brains in--and get the s**t smacked out of him by Lola for abandoning the mission. Gritting his teeth, he kept running, scrambling for the radio tower.

By the time he reached the top, he was winded, and let out a long string of expletives at the sight of so many communication channels. ******** ********, this was going to take forever!

He irritably flicked a switch and stopped dead when he heard a voice. Supplies. Only enough for seven days?

Well. s**t. Good information to know.

The emergency broadcast message made him sneer. Fat lot of ******** help that was to anyone, nowadays.

The static made him grunt irritably, resisting the urge to reach out and smack the technology. Because that would totally make it work. Whatever.

Was that another goddamn survivor? Al fiddled with the controls frantically, trying to get more a message, but there didn't seem to be anything else to hear. s**t. Maybe if he kept messing around with it, he could get a better signal...

Whoa, whoa, what the <********>?? Al stared at the radio with narrowed eyes, straining to hear what the hell was being said. Cranked that volume up to maximum, ******** his shitty ears--

Who was they? Thorns? The thorns were contagious? Who wouldn't let them leave? "Hey," He said, tapping at buttons. "HEY. What the ******** are you talking about?"

No dice. He either couldn't respond on his end, or didn't know how to. Probably the latter, considering. Al shot a glance towards the door, growling. As much as he wanted to stay and find out more... he was worried about Lola. Needed to check on her.

Time to head back.
