Share knowledge with the Dispatcher about Baghdad
Share knowledge with the Researcher about Riyadh

PANDEMIC

The Scientist meets with the Dispatcher and Researcher in an underground conference room of the Baghdad research station. Above, Zombies have penetrated the perimeter and begun to form a writhing, undead pile, gaining height at terrible speed until they crawl onto the roof and break through a skylight, bypassing the reinforced doors and barred windows of the floors below.

In the conference room, the lights flicker and blink out, replaced by the dim glow of battery-powered emergency lights, gunshots and screams can be heard through the ceiling. Security personal and scientists scramble in the halls to barricade the stairwell doors.

The Scientist, keeps her cool, calming the others, and asking questions about what the Dispatcher and Researcher have heard and seen about the zombie outbreaks in the surrounding city and in Riyadh. Suddenly, the Scientist leaps up from her seat and starts listing facts from each of the afflicted cities. She starts to draw lines, linking the words, making connections and realizes she's known the answer all along. Without saying anything to the others she rushes off to the lab next door and saves the world.

The Situation:

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Huzzah! A beacon of hope in these troubled times.

Thanks again to Gud for running the game. It was, as they say, a corker.

I had a great time, playing it with y'all and the computer game makes it pretty easy to do this. I'd be happy to run another one at some point.

Yes, great game everyone. Thanks, Gud. I'd definitely be up for playing again. Or even watching one play out if others want a chance to play.
