Holy $%&# y'all, zombies!

The sub-threads are in chronological order this time. Start (and label!) sub-sub-threads for the different areas -- like one for the roof and another for the make-shift medbay and so on.

START Ominous Thunder

START Night Falls

START OHSHI

START FIGHT!!!

Any questions? Ask 'em here!

I hope I got it right this time. I was trying to reply as you prefer, to keep it one continuous thread but it still showed up below the Red Team group...

Starting this coming monday, barring a miracle, I will be in a small town in coastal Yorkshire with a very big town's worth of goths for the week. As far as I know, they haven't discovered wifi there yet. I'll be at least mostly unavailable until the following saturday.

Rearguard team, your day has officially gotten worse.


Bots, Khel, and Mei Ling, have at!

TRAPS!

All the characters should be listed in a group. Tag there. SURVIVES.

If I missed one, let me know and we'll tack you onto one.

The name of the game is just surviving. Hal can't really just go ARGH kill, because Stacy's holding him back but he can get them on the technicality of them not finding a way to survive. That means there ARE ways to survive each situation thrown at them, and usually they can be accomplished through Teamwork.

Shortly, they'll have an actual strategy, but for now--survive.

Ask questions here, by email, or on aim, if you need help or are lost.

Since people asked for it, here is a summary of the Plot so far:

◘    Jaime Reyes proposed his plan of taking the bridge, and people got assigned to either come along or hole up in the Vatican. He had the AIs safeguard against any mass eradication measures in the Pod Caverns and the City.

◘    The Vatican people prepped for disaster, and got their food, medical supplies, and weapons and guard duties in order.

◘    Team GTFO got probes through, disabled security systems, sent ninjas through to hack open the door, and then got their teams into the new area.

◘    ...But it was being guarded by a reprogrammed HAL9000 (reprogrammed by who, you ask? You'll see), a captured AI like Andromeda and Cortana and the rest, now repurposed to preventing them all from getting through to the bridge. He can't kill them DIRECTLY though, due to Stacy's protect-the-crew protocols, he can only put them in dangerous situations with ways out and see if they get killed by their own recklessness.

◘    To that end, Hal9000 released zombie subjects from the Contagion Containment and Quarantine Lab, near the Medbay, a sort fo virus/disease research lab that was sealed off. These subjects were zombies. They have gone to the Pod Caverns and are currently killing people in their pods and turning them into new zombies, and they have now proliferated through all levels of the ship. Shortly, they'll reach the Vatican in the City level, and they will face a zombie siege.

There is EVERY type of zombie. Rage virus zombies, T-Virus zombies, slow dead zombies, fast dead zombies, zombies created by alien parasites. We'll have a post on just ALL the zombie types with pics shortly, but if it's a zombie, it's in there. You have license to have any kinds of zombies you want, so long as they're one of the kind of standard types that show up in movies and all. These are people from the Pod Caverns, which totally sucks, and some might be naked if they happen not to get snagged by the plantsuit tentacles as they go through the clothing room. We're talking a SWARM. Please don't have your characters recognize anyone, in case someone in the future wants to app them, like there won't be loved ones or canonmates in that group, as we don't want this too entrenched in angst. But it should eventually register to them where these things are coming from.

◘    GTFO-side, after Hal released the zombies, and was all "Bwahaha you die now," Jaime Reyes tried to attack him, and appeared to be shot in the head thanks to Hal, who was allowed to directly kill him for attacking him. Traps have now sprug up trying to trip the Team GTFO people into killing themselves. You can find where your character is as they're listed in the subject of the subthread. Jaime is still alive due to a well-placed energy shield--he's just been knocked in the head rather badly, and the telepaths can detect him but he wants them to keep quiet about him being alive, as a single "Jaime's alive!" from anyone can get him vaporized.

And that is what is happening. I will fill in this summary with links to the corresponding threads/subthreads shortly. The older threads, like the open reactions to "UH OH, EVIL AI!" And to Jaime's "Death" can be tagged, however, so if you haven't, you can do so.

If you are lost still, post here to ask question or tell us on aim or by email or something. Consider this the official "Here's what going on, but if you're still confused, ask for help here" thread.

EDIT: THERE WILL BE NO ZOMBIES FOR GTFO. Just so you know. The door is blocked so that's at least one thing they don't have to deal with.

EDIT: No Green Lantern zombies, either. They'll just be mostly the kind of standard types of zombies. But that's quite a few types.
