You are on a road. The fence-line, which had cleanly separated woodland from field, ends in a wide open gate. Dozens of faded signs border the road. Sandbags, once a barrier, have been cut open and spilled. Only one tent out of many remains pitched, and out of all the abandoned vehicles, only one appears serviceable.
Above the gate is a sign outlining a list of instructions and advisories. Spraypainted across the sign are the words:
- Road flooded.
- Dead trapped in forest, neither crossing the river nor returning north.
- All forever migrate south.
- Pushing the flaps aside, you enter the only intact tent. It is tall enough to stand in, and wide and long enough to walk around. This was probably a command post. There are tables with chairs, monitors, radio transmitters, and headsets. Electronic equipment, literally boxes of them stacked high, are at the back of the tent.
Possible actions:
- Search the area Try the radio transmitter
Inventory:
- You carry only a bent knife and a smashed radio. It has been a long ride. Your blue jeans are shredded; the T-shirt, stretched 2 sizes larger, is more red than white, and your shoes are unaccounted for. You wear a crumpled paper party hat.
