Situation: It's Winter out; you're in Northern Michigan. The region mainly consists of
small and scattered backwater towns, farms in Country Bobumpkin nowhere. You, your
signifcant other, a buddy and his significant other were out on a hunting trip since for some
reason the White-tail Deer population increased dramatically to the point of the State
begging hunters from different States to help out. So, there's plenty of people with
guns and at a minimum Hunter's Safety training.

You and your buddy's SOs are at the motel you're staying at while you two are out setting
up your treestand...It's about 2:30pm when you two set up your treestand, so you still
have a little bit of sunlight left. You brought your longarms and pistols and a small amount
of supplies on your persons as listed below, nothing more, nothing less:

Longarms [with you and your buddy]

• 1 unmodified and loaded SKS [7.62x39mm with 10rd capacity] and 40 rounds of

• 12g shotshells

Pistols [With your SOs back at the motel]

• 1 unmodified and loaded SIg P230 [..32ACP with 2-8rd mags]

• ZSDW Forum action!]

You set up the treestand without any sign of trouble, although the air seems to be cold
like Death, or is it just the cold weather? You two get back to the truck, only to see the
thing utterly totaled, yet not ransacked of your other gear. Your buddy thinks Bigfoot did it,
but you're not so convinced it was him since the food wasn't stolen. You make a call to the
motel, but no response....Northern Michigan's imfamous for no signal, or could it be
something else? You instinctively assume the worst and tell your friend that you two'll
have to get back to the motel ASAP. You two grab your stuff that was packed in the truck
and you set off for the motel, which is 10 miles away from your location..

It's now 4:50pm, and the sun is beginning to set....The roads aren't ploughed, so there aren't
any vehicles out that aren't at least 4x4 / 4-wheel drive or tougher out, hence no cops or
anything except the Sheriffs in their SUVs, helping stuck people or calling in emergencies.
You've got a freakin' emergency, but no Sheriff....They were out not too long ago; what could
be going on?

You call 9-1-1, but no response. The time is now 5:23pm...The Sun is setting even more,
thus raising the concern that you'll have to make shelter for the night....Out in the distance
you hear a hellish cry, sending chills down your spine like never before...You're fighting the
feeling that either something is about to happen that will change your lives forever or that
you're just scared since it's your first time doing something like this...You two press onward
until 6:38pm, then you decide to set up camp....It's dark out, like you can't see your hand in
front of you dark....You hear some weird noises, so you two whip out and put on your NV
goggles to help....What you see terrifies you....A group of 'people' are huddled around what
looks like another person and they're utterly mauling them to shreds...You two drop to the
ground and hope they don't notice you...Thankfully, they don't; they wander-stumble off
towards the other town in search of more people to kill....You cautiously go up to the
mauled person, only to find out that's the Sheriff and he's dead-dead....What sucks even
more is that he's been lifted of all his gear, including his body armor and the SUV is trashed
beyond drivability, but it did contain these:

• 3 flares for the flaregun in the aforementioned emergency kit
• 2 sets of walkie-talkies
• 1 portable CB/Police Scanner radio
• 1 evidence bag with 2 frag grenades inside

The time is now 8:45pm....You know jack-diddly squat about the Skinnies apart from what's
on here except they are overly task-oriented, work together in groups, like to trash vehicles
and stumble...You have an inseperable attatchment to your SOs so leaving them to die
is not an option.


Objectives: All have to be completed:

• Set up camp
• Eat supper
• Maintain a Watch so no Skin-jobs or Unfriendlies ambush your camp
• Get some sleep
• Pack up camp
• Head into town
• Rendezvous with your SOs
• Find out what's going on
• Find an alternate means of escape other than an automobile [no other vehicle is
• restricted except Militry vehicles and Armored cars since they aren't there....yet ;^)

Before you start, list your buddy's first name and their SOs first name, along with your
[imaginary] SOs name, or the names can be fictional, your pick...Also list if you chose the
SKS or the Persuader 12g.


NOW PLAN OUT AND MOVE OUT!!


-----------------------------------------------------------------


AgEnT_GrEEn: First off, I took the SKS. My SO's name is Amy, my buddy's name is Trent
and his SO's name is Sarah.

Now, to the objectives:

*Setting up camp: I'd find the best location that's distant from the dead Sheriff and his
trashed SUV since dead Police officers are a bad omen. [The Dead Sheriff sounds like a
tavern-name] Also, I'd use any natural cover and concealment if available and I'd try to not
have the camp in a windy area so the Skin-jobs don't smell us or our food from down-wind.

*Supper; Easy. Spam...keep the trash so there isn't any evidence.

*Watch: 2-6-hour Shifts, making as little noise or disturbance as possible.

*Sleep: Use my stress-relieving techniques and fall asleep peacefully, for length, same as
Watch.

*Pack Up Camp: No brainer, but I'd cover our tracks and return the camp to the most
natural appearance possible.

*Head into town: Trent and I would attempt to locate and liberate a snowmobile or ATV if
available, if not, then we'll hoof it since the Skinjobs are keen at destroying parked or moving cars for some weird reason....Maybe since they're more of a threat to them....If there are any groups,
we'll hide until they pass, if engagement is inevitable we'll go for disabling shots and
break their jaws along with binding them up with that handy twine and duct-tape.

*Rendezvous with SO's: we'd immediately head for the hotel if more pressing matters
weren't present, then we'd locate them: If infected and at early stage, I'd restrain them
then I'd log onto here an see if y'all found a cure.....If not or if there isn't one, I won't delay
the inevitable and end their suffering as peacefully as possible....Get out of the area, then
bawl over it when
it's safe to do so. If uninfected, we'd take only the essentials with us, then we'd move out.
If uninfected but injured or distraught, we'd barricade the motel and attend to their needs
until we can move out or until we get overrun and eaten.

*Find out what's going on: Log onto here and see if anyone else is experiencing the same
situation, if not, then I'd give you all te details I know along with our exact location and
everything...That is one thing I will NEVER joke about; if I say it's happening, crap your
pants and get ready....I'd also check for local news sources and if those didn't reveal
anything, then we'd carry on with escaping to see if we could find out more elsewhere
as well.

*Escaping: We'd again try to find and liberate ATVs and snowmobiles along with get fuel
for them and get extra supplies from the surrounding stores if necessary....If no vehicles
were present, we'd find the fallout shelter and hunker down in there until the Bigguns arrived, we'd see if they're friendly, if so, then we're doing good, if not, we'll barrivcade the fallout bunker
and hide until they left or they got eaten, in that case, we're jacking their stuff and
we're GONE!!
