Happy Atheist Forum

Ok well I'm bored and interested in this topic and I only found a forum on this where everyone was just kinda down eachothers throats. So fuck that. I wanna do my own thing. So here's the deal: I'll make up a scenario and give you some options to respond and allow you to make up your own response. If all goes well I'll make another story to put you guys in. Sound good? Alright here's the story-

So let's say...today zombies start showing up. You don't think zombies are real but you see someone having trouble walking down the street outside your window. Another person passes by but gets visibly and violently grabbed by the first person. They quickly fall to the ground as the passer-byer was taken off guard. Then you see the attacker begin to eat parts off the person they have wrestled to the ground. The person is struggling but can't get up.

Do you
(a) go out and help
(b) continue watching
(c) call for help
(d) make up your own response

I'll provide a photo if this all goes well.

I'd probably go to help as safely as I could, while either calling for help or getting someone else to call for help.

Call for help. Then grab my broadsword and run outside!

In all honesty, probably scream, faint and be eaten next.  In the best of all worlds, tho, I'd take a blanket out to throw over and confuse the zombie (hoping they're the slow and not bright kind) while I dragged the victim inside.  And hoped he didn't die on me and turn before the police arrived.

Cool topic! :smilenod:

My first instinct would be to call for help or go out and get help, but what kind of help? Find someone with a gun? :notsure: Around here, most people who carry guns are robbers, and they aren't exactly known for their bravery or altruistic tendencies.

I wouldn't want to get too close to the zombie so I wouldn't think of a weapon such an easily available knife. Rationally, the victim is probably going to turn anyways so I would probably leave them if I'm able  to squeeze a thought in during all the panic and commotion.

Since the apocalypse is apparently just starting, I was figuring the police would still be in play for a few days so I would call them and hope for the best.

Arturo, I think we need to clarify what kind of zombies these are: slow and stupid, or fast and smart?  Or fast and stupid or slow and smart?  How I saw the first zombie behaving would make a difference in my reaction.  If it's slow and stupid, my first answer stands with the blanket trick.  I might also arm myself with the golf club my Dad gave me that I'm pretty sure is around here somewhere.  If the zombie is fast and/or smart, I'm barricading myself inside after calling the police.

(d) lead the zombies to a meeting of congress.
Without a steady supply of brains, the zombies would starve.

I go out and smash the zombie's head in with my trusty framing hammer. Quick tap with the waffle face to stun it and then the finisher - right between the eyes with the claw. Hopefully, the blood and brains I'm now covered in don't turn me into a zombie...

Books I was planning to do a continuation of this story anyways and start you guys in another one later on with different zombie traits, story line, ect.

So what that means is, I can work the character stats of the zombies and other people in later. Right now this is the first time anyone has seen a zombie that wasn't on tv. How you react is up to you but I'm like the captain of the ship- I don't really do much but I keep everyone together.

I really didn't consider what you wrote about when I first made this because it wasn't apart of the tone I wanted to set. But I thought I'd add it later on to add kibd of a mystery to the idea.

Anyways I hope you'll all participate in this. I almost have the photo finished edited and I'll post it as soon as it's done. But I'll keep the story if you guys like it but if I end up putting you all together, try not to split up because it puts a lot of pressure on me to write a bunch of stories for every person and I just couldn't do that.

Ok, then my reaction stands with the blanket trick.

(d) I would call police first, then run outside and see if I could stop it. As I keep several baseball bats handy in the house near front and back doors, and another under my bed I would probably grab one of those and take with me.

OK so Davin, Joe, SilverPhinx, and Father Bruno call the police while Books throws the blanket over the zombie. The zombie keeps eating the man's face as he screams. 911 gives the busy signal on everyone's phones. At this point, jumbojak arrives and beats the zombie with a hammer. Then Davin, Joe, and Father Bruno go out, having tried calling the police already, and help with beating the shit out of the zombie on what they believe to be the head under the blanket. The zombie stops moving and there is a lot of blood coming through the blanket.

As both bodies lay there lifeless, you come to realize the fact that you've all lived next to each other for years and never noticed it somehow. But the feeling is fleeting as individual zombies start to slug their way into the neighborhood. They are slow but peppered onto the street and almost seem human. You can hear from someone's radio in their car that the White House Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, is speaking at the White House: "The President is at still on his golfing trip and will return when it's over." A reporter asks: "But what about the entirety of Congress being killed by cannibals? Isn't he going to return for that?" "The President says everything is fine and he will make up for their duties."

At this point the zombies are getting close and some people run up to them and sock them with their fists to which they explode instantly. The group of people are covered, drenched in blood and a bile that is so foul, it causes them all to puke. The remaining zombies, once slow and docile, run at a full sprint at them. Even the man beneath the blanket takes part in the zombie frenzy. They all impact the smaller group and crush them with the sheer force of all their momentum combined. Some more zombies become revealed as they zeem to come from all corners of the neighborhood. They begin to feast on the small group of people causing blood to squirt out of the mosh pit. There is so much blood coming from them and the zombies that it almost seems to be raining onto the street.

Police arrive on the scene and tell you to get to safety. You all forgot to put gas in your vehicles this morning and have no vehicle to fit all six of you. Just then, a man driving a school bus in a suit for some reason shows up, opens the door and says "You can come with me, or you can die here helping them. Choose quick"

Do you
(a) Go with the man wearing a suit for some strange reason
(b) Help the police
(c) Not go with the police, or the man, and go off on your own
(d) Your own response


So this was a lot of fun to come up with. I hope you guys liked this one. Since I put you in a group I would hope you all choose the same answer, or at least answers that work together. You can discuss it here or whatever if you like. If you do end up choosing too many different answers, I'll start another scenario in the next round.

Without hesitation I jump on the bus with the suit, immediately realizing that the bus was comandeered by a secret agent sent to nip the zombie problem in the bud. That's my first thought anyway. For all I know it could be a church bus driven by a televangelist.

If fast zombies are running all around, I'm definitely dead at this point.  The irony is that I'll probably be faster dead than alive.

Against my better judgement, I would probably also hop onto the bus and hope that the man wearing the suit had answers or solutions to the zombie problem.

Against my better judgement I'll jump on the bus along with JJ and xSP, but I get a window seat...and I get to choose the music on the radio.

...and I get to choose the music on the radio.

Oh hell no!

:grin:

I guess I'll jump on the bus with the others then. I'll sit right behind the driver with part of my attention on him.

I'm sticking near JJ, he's tough and has useful tools!

So at this time we've got the following personal on the "Zombie Death Bus".

Davin = Sitting behind driver seat, and keeping a watchful on the driver himself.
Brunu= Sitting at the window seat by door, watching carefully outside and in care of the "jams"! (Don't worry xSP, I won't play any Bossa Nova,...the Zombie Apocalypse calls for some good Southern Rock, like the Allman Bros.)
JJ = Hopefully when he saw what was going on he grabbed his tool bag as we might need it...if not he's scouring the bus for useful items.
Claire = She's taking care of Books who with the help of xSP they dragged onto bus against her will...
xSP = She's taking selfies and posting on Facebook. (I know right?,...in the middle of a Zombi Apocalypse, WTF?)

I have my pocket kit Bruno; two screwdrivers totalling six tips between them, 6" Stanley tape, Opinel folding knife, 6" pocket rule, mini Chamnellocks, and a Bic lighter. I'm wishing I had thought to grab my rigging axe instead of the framing hammer but there's nothing to be done for it. If there's a flat tire on the bus we're in deep dodo... my Budd sockets are still in the shed along with my torque multiplier....

Ti take my mind off being so unprepared I rack my brain thinking of remote locations to refuel the bus. I don't look favorably on my chances to bleed the Bluebird's fuel system while being mobbed by zombies if play out. Davin, while you're watching the driver keep an eye on the fuel gage. We'll need diesel sooner than later.

xSP = She's taking selfies and posting on Facebook. (I know right?,...in the middle of a Zombi Apocalypse, WTF?)

:snooty:


You failed to mention that I'd probably be nagging someone to capture a zombie so that I could take selfies with it and post it on Facebook. After all, whoever said one can't find 4837 Kodak moments in the middle of a zombie apocalypse?

Thinking to myself: Wouldn't Kodak be like the zombies of the photograph industry? :notsure:

Seriously, I'm not dead yet?  That's really stretching credulity to the breaking point.  Maybe I'm just pre-zombie and I'm the one xSPx will be taking selfies with?  And I'm frankly suspicious of this bus driving person, sounds like an out-of-the-frying-pan situation to me.  Is Davin armed?  Since he's watching the driver, I'd feel a lot better if he'd grabbed a dead cop's weapon and concealed it on his person before getting on the bus.

See, this is why I'd be dead by now.  Not only am I extremely slow, but I dither.

Edited to add: OK, if I have by some unbelievable truckload of good luck managed to survive an attack by a horde of fast-moving zombies, here's what happens next with me.  Having gotten over my stupefaction at still being alive, I jump off the bus from the rear emergency exit just as it starts to drive away.  I love all you guys, but that bus driver is creeping me out.  I jump into a cop car and try to figure out how to use the radio to get an update to the station.   About this time the cops realize it's pointless to fight undying zombies -- they're just wasting ammo and adding to the numbers of undead.  The remaining cops jump back in their cars (of which there is now a surplus).  The cop who jumps into my car yells at me to "go go go!" and gives me directions to the station. 

C'mon Arturo! We NEED more!!!

Sorry guys. My meds made me lazy the past two days. I am in the middle of making the next part as we speak but I also have a lot of homework to do before Monday.

Zoom out shot with someone yelling BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKS!. The cry becomes fainter and fainter as the camera zooms out to reveal just how dire the zombie situation had become.

It wasn't dire enough before with the squirting rivers of blood?  Besides, I've got a fast cop car now and you've got a slow ass bus with a creepy driver.  Why is he wearing that suit, after all?

I would also like to find out why he's wearing the suit, which is why I stayed. :P

Arturo? :notsure:

Goes off to take a selfie with the suit-wearing creepy driver as he's driving the slow ass bus.

Can somebody pick me up? I'm out here with all these weirdos who keep trying to bite me. Luckily, years before, JJ made me a smock out of this really tough canvas that can't be pierced by human teeth. I don't wear it all the time, just when I want to impersonate a 711 cashier to sneak a free Diet Coke (which is all the time.) If one of you (Books or the Creeper Bus) could give me a lift, Id sure appreciate it.

"My name is Andy" says the man in the suit as you all get onto his bus. As you settle into your seats you all see computers and guns through out the bus as well as different compartments and cabinents. "You will quickly notice that this is not an ordinary bus" he says as the bus begins to move. "This bus is made for undercover operations within our land. I cannot tell you who I am or who I am with. However, I can tell you we need your help. I also need you all to take one of these and shoot it into your shoulder. You'll thank me later." He opens a glove compartment to reveal several of these:



A bloody faced body slams itself into the rear of the bus. The blood makes it unable to tell if it's human, or something else. "These...things were the cause of several incidents in rural areas. It was covered up, but it wasn't contained. Now they've moved here. My group and others have been recording their appearances all around the globe. This is where they have arrived so far." He points to a monitor on the dashboard to show this picture:


Claire and xSilverPhinx are too busy consoling Books in her psychotic episode to look at the screen. Books thinks she has jumped off the back of the bus and into a cop car as they go to the Police Station. Claire and xSliverPhinx have to tell her that she is not in a Police car.

The man continues, "We need to destroy all these things. They are a menace to the survival of our world. They will eat anything, without prejudice. People, animals, plants, dirt. If they can chew it, they will not leave a trace of it left. This is why my group needs your help. We need a group of like-minded individuals who have individual strengths and that can make up for the other's weaknesses. Some of you have tools, some of you have disposable weapons, others have compassion, others have traits that would not come out in any other situations."

Suddenly a brown faced woman hits the door asking to be let in, she points to Davin behind the driver's seat yelling that she knows him. "Friend of yours?"
(a)Say "Yes", and Andy opens the door to let her in
(b)Say "No", and Andy keeps driving
(c)Say "No but she seems okay" and then Andy let's her in
(d)Make up your own response

After a short while the bus arrives at a gate. The bus driver talks to a man guarding the gate "Yeah I have them....No they don't know yet...Alright see you inside." The bus strides into the gate with the guards walking behind it. The bus follows the road underground and into the dark. Finally it comes to a stop. "Alright...we're here." Andy speaks as he opens the door. "It's not over yet, everyone out."

As you get out, you see people with guns, armoured cars, and more computers looking at twitter feeds, live streams, and facebook records of the zombie apocalypse happening all around the world. "You see the lower levels of Government don't know about what's going on. They'll just treat it as a riot, use non-lethal weapons, and then their defense force will be turned attack them in the lower echelons. The higher ends of Government know about this, they kept it secret in order to keep their power, and their population docile. But now to get to why I brought you here, I need each one of your individual skills to combat this zombie plague. I need you to look after one another and take action on your own if neccessary. And most importantly, I need you to do what I tell you, as I tell you. IF we survive, the world will be a very different place. So do you plan to join us to kill these things, or do you plan other wise?"

(a) Accept Andy's offer
(b) Refuse Andy's offer
(c) Ask For Another Deal
(d) Make Up Your Own Response

I take the injector gun and hold it up to my arm for just a second before I signal to Davin and Bruno *wink wink* to grab this Andy character and hold him down. I place the muzzle of the injector to Andy's shoulder, look him square in the eye, and inform him that how he reacts to the prospect of an injection will determine whether he lives or whether we throw him off the bus to give the zombies something to do while we make our escape...

The brown faced woman is Ali! She's gotten a lot of sun at the Colorado oceanfront, but it's her. Personally, I'd let her on but since she signaled to Davin I'll let him make the decision...

Claire and xSPx better get used to me having psychotic episodes.  Personally, I'm all for JJ going ahead and injecting Andy, just to see what happens, before any of us take it.

Andy laughs.

"Go ahead, shoot me with it!" Andy says, "I could use it"

Okay then, I pull the trigger...

Why did I already know Andy was Putin?

"Well now that we've got that over with, it would be a good idea for you all to take yours..."

Same choices as before with the already chosen missing

(a) Take the shot
(b) Refuse the shot
(c) Ask more information before giving yourself the shot
(d) Your own response

The story continues as normal...

Well as Andy seems to have survived I'm taking the shot.

I get passive aggressive. "Oh man, I'm glad you guys took the time to hash out that whole shot thing, you know, while I stand out here with zombies."

I'm waiting on Davin's response. I haven't seen him post in the past couple days.

Can we assume we've picked up Ali?  Because she's got that dancing chicken and all.

I very much want to get more information about the shot, but realize that I'll probably disbelieve anything "Andy" (as he calls himself) says and, since he hasn't died and I'm probably on borrowed time anyway, I take the shot. 

I suppose Davin would agree to pick up Ali and the group would fight off any zombies who tried to get in the bus.

Ali also gets the choice of a shot.

I want to know more about the shot. Namely, what is it and what does it do?

He doesn't post on forums on nights and weekends. In the meantime, I'll take the shot...

Well, I don't much trust this Andy character. For all we know, repeated shots of this stuff *turns you into* a zombie. But YOLO, I give myself the shot.

You're wearing the Super Smock. No zombie can hurt you while you have it on. Otherwise, we wouldnt be dithering like Books about the shot while you chill outside the door.

It just couldn't be zombie repellent to keep zombies from biting you at all -- cause I'm thinking if they bite your throat out or eat part of your brain, you're not going to want to survive.

Not even going to ask.  I was thinking tho, since these zombies appear to be supernatural with the not dying by anything perhaps a supernatural repellent could be devised -- silver, garlic, eye of newt, something.

I ain't doing shit, including taking the shot until I receive a whole lot more information from not only "Andy", but whomever is in charge of this place.

I need to know how this whole Zombie Plague began, exactly what is in the serum, details of the plan to combat the plague, and exactly what you mean when you said the world will be different, etc...

I also need to use the bathroom, and could go for a cup of coffee and maybe a bite to eat.

Yeah, Deputy Andy, what is this shit?

This is what bothered me more than the shot (which hasn't killed anyone yet and, for all I know, may be sugar water):

I need each one of your individual skills to combat this zombie plague.

Right.  Zombies can be overcome by having stories read to them.  Probably tear-jerkers.  "Need our individual skills" my eye, never heard such BS in my life.

And most importantly, I need you to do what I tell you, as I tell you.

This is never going to happen.  Even if I wanted to do it, I'm constitutionally incapable of it.  It's not a matter of being difficult, or simply not trusting "Andy" (tho that's not helping any -- I'm sensing a lot of Negan-ness here), it's the dithering thing again.

Between your dithering and my constant urge to derail (which I have only just barely been holding mostly in check) I feel like "Andy" may give up at some point and be like "You know what? Forget it. Being eaten by a zombie would be easier than trying to lead this group."
Edit: Also, can we pledge to always say "Andy" with air quotes until he either kills us or gives us a reason to trust him?

Okay "Andy", I'm on board with the shot as I've already taken it but if you want everyone else on board you'd better get to 'splaining cause they can do this all day... I think Bruno wants to see the FDA trial information...

I'm just looking for the  background story on all of this before  I jump completely on board, plus Jenny Mccarthy says anti-zombie vaccines can cause autism.

We are the cats you were told not to herd.

QuoteEdit: Also, can we pledge to always say "Andy" with air quotes until he either kills us or gives us a reason to trust him?

:thumbsup:

I ain't doing shit, including taking the shot until I receive a whole lot more information from not only "Andy", but whomever is in charge of this place.

I need to know how this whole Zombie Plague began, exactly what is in the serum, details of the plan to combat the plague, and exactly what you mean when you said the world will be different, etc...

I also need to use the bathroom, and could go for a cup of coffee and maybe a bite to eat.

You sure do ask a lot of questions for someone who doesn't know anything. I'm afraid I can't tell you any of those things. Not until we can trust you to follow orders. But I can tell you, if you don't take the shot, it will come back to bite you...

Alright, I'll take the shot.

Fine, I'll take the shot too. The peer pressure is just too overwhelming! :P

Alright "Andy", what's your first order now that we're here in the underground lair of the Anti Zombie Resistance? I'm not going to promise that I won't tell you to go fuck your hat, but I'm willing to give listening to you a shot. Maybe...

Good point, where are we actually, the US, UK, Brazil? (I just checked my pockets, and I've got about 18 dollars on me, plus a Starbucks card with about 23 dollars loaded on it and a tube of chap stick.

And I could really go for a cup of coffee...

This brings up a good question! Where (as in, what part of the world) are we? Being a typical bratty American, I automatically assumed the US, but I recall from the map that there were other places in the world tha were infected. This could have dire consequences for our chances for survival. For example, when shit starts going down, will the emergency vehicle sirens go "wooowooowooo" or "eeeeeeeee-aaaaaaah-eeeeeeeeeee-aaaaaaah?"

Assume I just made up a place and you all have the same currency.

But what about the sirens? What do they sound like?

"Good, now that you've all taken your first steps, I can fill you in on how we are going to take out these zombies. You see the Government hasn't equipped themselves to take out the zombies. They will not react quick enough and much of their forces will be over-run and turned. We have a plans to take out these zombies. The Government however is too stubborn to listen to our words however. So we must do this ourselves.

What you're going to do, is go with a squad to an assigned area and fight the zombies until every single one is dead. That means their head is exploded, smashed, whatever you need to do, do it. We will dispatch other squads to other strategic areas to do the same thing to keep larger populations from being turned. Our group is small however. What you see here is all we have. So we will not prevent the outbreak from spreading, but we will slow it down and there will be less undead to combat.

So enough flirting, these are your badges. You can use them to get into anything you need here. he hands you a badge with your face mysteriously already on there But now it's time to roll out. You are here now and it's time to do your duty. Go with Gonzalez over there and rendezvous with your squad. You will be sent to the countryside about 5 miles away from the nearest city."

They sound like women singing

I scowl down at the picture of me. It shows me with my glasses on.

Hey "Andy," nice plan and all, but I feel like if we're going to squash zombie heads, we're going to need some gear. More smocks. Maybe some boards with nails in them. Something. Do we have time to hit up the...wherever you keep all the zombie stuff before we get sent off to our inevitable gruesome deaths?

Didn't we already smash in the head of a zombie back on page one, and it still got up and walked?  Or was that the other guy?  I'm so confused, and wish I'd brought my Dad's golf club with me.  If we just chop off the zombie's head, will the head stay alive?  Also, what's causing these zombies?  Shouldn't we have a real briefing, and also refreshments and a good nights sleep before said inevitable gruesome deaths?

I'll have two of these (http://"https://youtu.be/TYMXafe60LU") "Andy". Plenty of ammunition too....

Okay, the fourum keeps screwing up my link. https://youtu.be/TYMXafe60LU

I'll do the shooting, after all we proved one summer that I'm a better shot than you ;)

What? Has time to make badges with our names and pictures on them, drive a bus to pick us up... but doesn't have any extra weapons?

"I'm Puerto Rican ya fuck!" everyone heard from an office window. "Good I've got your attention. So I heard you all talking about guns. We don't normally use guns. It attracts them. Especially autos since the rythm puts'um beserk. But since the zombs are starting to spread, I think it's time we use guns. We only use hand guns with silencers attatched to keep the noise to a minimum. We have a couple cross bows for overwatch support but you have to make sure you are in range.

Anyways, this is the armory

Of these we have 10


10 of these as well


And the two cross bows have been taken already. I also suggest you get a melee weapon out on the field for when you run out of bullets. We will be doing most of our killing that way."

Select your weapon(s)

"Alright, we head out now."

He takes you up some stairs and out to a helipad with a military helicopter.



There are some guys waiting in the helicopter while it's running. "THIS IS JACKSON, THAT'S SMITH, AND THE PIOLET IS WHITE! WE'LL BE GOING TO TAKE OUT THESE ZOMBIES! SOME PEOPLE ALREADY PUT A FENCE AROUND THE PERIMETER OF WHERE THE ZOMBIE TERRITORY IS!"

The helicopter lifts off and goes straight into the heart of the countrt. You see people below you and you can't tell if they are zombies or not.

When you get to the fence, the helicopter keeps moving.

At this point do you

(a)Ask why you are heading for the center and not attacking the zombies from all sides like explained.
(b)Make your own response

The helicopter continues toward the center if the zombie mass for what looks like miles.

Just so we're clear, for an operation of 13 people, we've got 20 guns, limited bullets, two crossbows, and whatever clubs and sticks we could scrounge up? That's all? And we're being dropped in the middle of zombie country, where we will then be fenced in with them?

Like shooting fish in a barrel, except the zombies are the barrel and "Andy's" holding the gun.

Okay "Andy", you expect us to get dropped off in the middle of a writhing mass of zombies with nothing but pistols and sticks? Go fuck your hat. I'm outta here...

Oh, and I'm taking a pair of pistols when I go. If you try to stop me... well...

Don't look at me, I'm still trying to find a sandwich.

I'm calling discrimination against the British, we're not allowed to shoot pistols....

Ok, here's my response.

Plus you Brits will probably want to break for tea right during the middle of the bloody Zombie Battle, amirite? ;D

If there's already a fence around the zombie territory, why aren't we just nuking them from above?  It's the only way to be sure.  Also a damn lot safer than dumping people in the middle of them.

Also, I found the kitchen and am now making ham sandwiches.  There's also fruit and cheese, if anyone is a vegetarian.  I've started up the coffeemaker, and there's an inferior brand of tea available but it's better than nothing.

Nice! Good call, Books. :smilenod: We can't fight a zombie horde on an empty stomach, can we?

I'll take care of the coffee, keep an eye on it, see if it's brewing right.

*20 seconds later a small explosion can be heard coming from the corner in the kitchen where the coffeemaker is*

Um... :worried:

Wait, you're on the helicopter already?!  I never left the center.  No ham for you then.

I'm not on the helicopter either, having taken to the road alone with a pair of pistols, but if I walk back could you put a few sandwiches in a brown paper bag for me? I left in such a huff I'm getting kinda hungry.

I thought we were all on the helicopter already. Goddammit, is it just me?!? I didn't get a sandwich and I don't even know how to shoot these fucking guns. And now they're going to kick me out in the middle of zombie country. Typical.

I sit down in the middle of the helicopter. You can carry me bodily to the door, but I won't be nice about it and unless your goal is to feed the zombies (entirely likely, "Andy") you're not going to get much out of me. You can take me back to the center and feed me sandwiches or you can *try* to toss me out. But if you do toss me out, I'm going to retain just enough memory as a zombie that I bite "Andy" first.

Sure, I'll pack you three ham sandwiches and some fruit. xSPx should have found some instant coffee by the time you get back too.

I'm afraid so.  xSPx is in the kitchen trying to make coffee, I'm assuming Fr. Bruno and Claire are also here because he's thirsty and she's hungry.  JJ is going to lone wolf it after he gets his sandwiches.  Not sure where the other three are, and "Andy" also appears to have opted out of the helicopter ride.

Can someone radio the helicopter to come back for additional briefing, strategizing or whatever?  This is a poorly planned apocalypse.

Remember he took a booster of that shot, so you're going to have to eat him whole.  Let's see him not die from that!

See if you can find some decent stuff -- I'm not sure these militia goons have any taste buds.

I don't feel good at all, in fact I think I'm having some type of adverse reaction to the shot we received from Andy...plus the coffee here sucks. (You'd think during a Zombie Apocalypse you could at least offer some decent coffee, sure I'm not looking for an Ethiopian Pour-Over, but this stuff tastes like some old coffee from Speedway!)

Forget the coffee, I want TEA Godammit!
