Plot[]
Special Assignment[]
Sam's back at the comms. He says Doctor Myers told him you've been making great progress. Doctor Myers says they have a special assignment for you today.
Valera Clinic[]
Sam tells you where you'll be heading: the Varela Clinic. It's one of the nearby settlements that Janine's not been able to contact, based in an old private medical clinic.
Dead-Drop[]
As you approach the Varela Clinic, the person who's waiting for you there slings a bag over the gatepost and heads back inside. They evidently don't want to be seen talking to you. Doctor Myers tells you to just grab the bag and then rest in some nearby trees.
Run![]
Doctor Myers tells you to get moving again. She's nervous about the sounds in the woods. As you're getting ready, Sam spots zoms nearby: Run!
Defend the Perimeter[]
The data you gathered from the Varela Clinic contains nothing about Frances, but does contain a lead: the people at Bert Airfield have a comms tower large enough to talk to people much further north than anyone else. Doctor Myers is skeptical - the residents of Bert are known for shooting on sight. Sam agrees they should take time to consider their options. He gives you a USB stick as a reward.
Transcript[]
SAM YAO: Runner Five! Good to see your face again! Doc here tells me you’ve been making great progress.
MAXINE MYERS: Certainly have. That’s why we’ve got a special assignment for you today. Get started with your five-minute warm-up walk, and we’ll tell you about it on the way.
SAM YAO: You sounded positively professional saying that.
MAXINE MYERS: I am professional, Sam.
SAM YAO: I know, I know. I mean, well, I know you’re a professional doctor. It’s just, well, you sound like a coach or something.
MAXINE MYERS: I do my best. So, Runner Five, Sam has a mission for you today.
SAM YAO: Yep, yep. Always good to have something to do, yeah? Janine’s helped me to cross off a few minor settlements from my list, but there’s a place not too far away that we haven’t been able to contact. They’re based in the Varela Cardiac Clinic. Used to be one of those private clinics before the apocalypse. Guess they’re fine for med supplies.
MAXINE MYERS: Yeah, I’ve traded with those guys a couple of times. Uh, your route there looks totally clear of zoms, so just keep heading in the direction you’re going. We should be able to do our regular training routine along the way. You’re halfway done with your warm-up!
MAXINE MYERS: That was great, Runner Five! Now we’re going to go straight into a five-minute free-form run. Listen to your body about whether you want to walk or run. You’re heading in the right direction.
MAXINE MYERS: Good. Three minutes left, and you’re well on your way to the clinic.
MAXINE MYERS: Last minute now. Keep going.
MAXINE MYERS: And that’s your five minutes up! Now, there are no zoms about, so we’re fine to do some drills. Same as last time: 30 seconds of walking, then 1 minute of slow running, then 6 heel lifts. Start walking now.
MAXINE MYERS: Now one minute slow running.
MAXINE MYERS: 30 seconds to go!
MAXINE MYERS: Do those six heel lifts now.
MAXINE MYERS: Okay, now 30 seconds of walking. We can’t see everything, you know, so keep looking out for those zoms.
MAXINE MYERS: Now one minute of running. Go!
MAXINE MYERS: Now give me six heel lifts.
MAXINE MYERS: Great! Now give me 30 seconds of walking.
MAXINE MYERS: Now 60 seconds running. Go!
MAXINE MYERS: Now stop and do those six heel lifts.
MAXINE MYERS: Fantastic! Now walk for 30 seconds.
MAXINE MYERS: You’re doing well. Now run for one minute.
MAXINE MYERS: Time for six more heel lifts.
MAXINE MYERS: Great! Now you’re going to walk for 30 seconds.
MAXINE MYERS: Good work, Five! Now speed up to a run.
MAXINE MYERS: Now stop running and do those six heel lifts.
MAXINE MYERS: Good work! 30 seconds of walking now.
MAXINE MYERS: Only two more after this. One minute of running. Go!
MAXINE MYERS: Now do your six heel lifts. Keep strong.
MAXINE MYERS: Almost there! 30 seconds of walking now.
MAXINE MYERS: And speed up and give me a minute of walking. You’re doing great.
MAXINE MYERS: Good! Six heel lifts now. If you’re ever trapped and need to take a zom’s head off with a kick, it’s going to be easier the stronger your legs are.
MAXINE MYERS: Perfect! Last drill now. 30 seconds of walking. Keep a careful lookout for zoms, remember?
SAM YAO: It all looks clear though, right?
MAXINE MYERS: Well, that’s what they said to Runner Six.
SAM YAO: Yeah… how’s her leg doing?
MAXINE MYERS: She’s doing fine, thanks to Runner Five.
MAXINE MYERS: And now, your last 60-second running drill.
MAXINE MYERS: And finally, give me those six heel lifts again. You’ve done well out there today, Runner Five.
MAXINE MYERS: That’s great! You’re almost at the Varela Clinic now, so time to do more free-form running. We’re going to be doing two 10-minute free-form runs. The end of the first one should take you to the clinic, where you’re going to make the exchange.
MAXINE MYERS: Two minutes down. You’re going well. You should be able to see the clinic now on top of that hill.
MAXINE MYERS: Four minutes done. Look! I think there’s someone waiting for you at the clinic. Can you see that?
MAXINE MYERS: Five minutes. Halfway through, and I think there’s definitely someone there.
MAXINE MYERS: Seven and a half minutes gone. Uh, do you see that, Sam?
SAM YAO: Yeah, they’re sort of… pointing towards a bag slung over the gatepost.
MAXINE MYERS: I think he’s putting something in there.
SAM YAO: And now he’s heading back into the clinic.
MAXINE MYERS: Hmm… evidently they don’t want to be seen talking to us.
SAM YAO: Yeah. I guess those guys owe a lot to New Canton. Okay, Runner Five, looks like he’s set up a dead drop, though. You’ll be there in just a few seconds. Grab whatever’s inside, drop in the USB sticks I’ve given you, and then head away immediately. Try to rest in that clump of trees.
MAXINE MYERS: That’s great, Runner Five. Just one more minute until you reach those trees and you can rest.
MAXINE MYERS: Great! I very much doubt anyone’ll see you there. Now rest. Stretch out, get your breath back, and then we’re going to go again. We want to be back at Abel as quickly as possible.
MAXINE MYERS: Okay, Five, it’s time to get moving again. I don’t like the sound of those woods. So you should be 10 minutes away from us now. Take your stance, get ready to run, and -
SAM YAO: There are zoms in those woods! Runner Five, run!
SAM YAO: Two and a half minutes. I think you’re getting clear of them… maybe not. Run!
MAXINE MYERS: Five minutes, Runner Five. Keep going!
SAM YAO: Two minutes to go. I can see you, you’re nearly here!
SAM YAO: You’ll be here in 30 seconds. Raise the gates! [gate siren, gates raising]
[gate siren, gates raising]
SAM YAO: That’s fantastic, Runner Five! I guess it’s time for you to stretch now.
MAXINE MYERS: That’s right. Everything’s okay?
SAM YAO: I just… I just can’t thank you enough for doing this for me. And for Alice - for the memory of Alice – even though you never knew her. It’s, uh… yeah. Thank you.
Well, let’s take a look and see what you got. Hmm, looks like… this note here says that they don’t know anything about Frances… huh. But apparently, they think the guys at Michael Bert Airport have a comms tower large enough to talk to places farther north than anyone else.
MAXINE MYERS: Hey, that place is not great with visitors.
SAM YAO: Yeah. Last I heard, they were shooting on sight to “defend their perimeter.” This is going to take some thinking about. Still, present for you here, Runner Five. And uh, thank you, again.
MAXINE MYERS: We’ll work something out. Take a couple of days off now, after that hard run, Five, and we’ll see you back when you’ve recovered.
