"So I've been reading about General Shiro Ishii's Unit 731 and the atrocities commited by them against political prisoners and innocent people and I have small scenario for you.

It has been 3 years since The Rise and while most of the zombies have migrated elsewhere the risk is ever present.

Having been forced to quickly abandon your bug out location due to unforseen events you and your spouse find yourself running on low supplies.
You are both capable hunters but find game running scarce.

You happen upon a community in a rebuilt prison and are both welcomed due to your skills as a mechanic and her skills as a nurse.

While the area is guarded nothing stands out as odd.

For the next 3 months you find that the group is fairly well off and is able to sustain itself on supplies from the fenced in areas.

The person helping you fix a vehicle needs a part that isn;t on hand and directs you to the basement level where parts are stored.

Even though you don't know the basement that well you go past what appear to be meat lockers and upon seeing what looks like a supply room you go inside.

Inside you find two bodies strapped to tables. One is a middle aged woman and the other a young boy.

Both have had their chest cavities opened with surgical precision and appear to be alive.

You rush back out of the room and to the other mechanic and cover up what you saw.

A few days pass and no one mentions the room to you or your spouse.

So what now?"

"While I'm making plans to leave, maybe more information will come out. But asking direct questions might tip them off. I wouldn't trust them with an inkling of suspicion that I know what they're up to. "

"Problem solving is a big part of my job. The guy who trained me in always broke down the word assume when I assumed. *Ass-u-me* When you assume you make an ass out of u and me.

Facts and hard evidence are worth a lot more than assumptions when you're working on a problem."

"How much longer will you and your spouse live on squirrels and berries out there in the wasteland?

Strength in numbers is worth a lot 3 years post-Z."

""Another group"? I don't think that 3 years post-apoc that you'll be able to find many towns let alone towns willing to take in another mouth to feed. Especially a mouth they don't know.

I believe that finding another community might be something like looking for a needle in a haystack. Except this haystack is full of zombies and not all of the survivors are friendly.

How will the members of this community view someone crazy enough to leave the comfort and safety of their town for the uncertainty of the wasteland? Someone just might put 2 and 2 together."
