RATS

[ The Traveler appears before you as you board your train, which appears to be a team-themed, sparse, and incredibly modern, like the inside of a commuter train. ]

Today's dream is the dream of a conductor, who, despite the worst befalling his world, endeavoured to make sure his train still ran on time. Death ravaged the land, the bloodied bodies of the fallen rising to claim the living as their prey. Decisions had to be made. He had rivals.

Did he save poor lost souls that were not on his schedule? Did he utterly crush his enemies, to assure supremacy and secure his own life? It doesn't matter. He died, in the end, along with his world.

And so to, shall you. Do you wish to attempt to avert the course of history? The story of the Undead Assault Upon The Locomotive Enthusiasts of The Year Two Thousand and Twelve is now yours, and yours alone.

Buckle up.

We can't slow down.

[don't care if that makes him a douchebag, nope nope they've got kids]

Two versus twenty-five is a very big risk.

If we could support each other for a catch, we might still be able to get them to jump.

We don't have any weapons; we're not going to be able to hold them off. If you want to save them let's grab some clothes off the passengers and see if we can't make a rope to pull them in.

If we slow down we're going to get in a fight and it's not one we're going to come out on top.

Oh, rope. That'd be a smart thing for military to have. If not, clothes.

[Gonna go ask our NPCs that.]

Let's just hope if they do they didn't leave it with their friends we ditched.

[THEY PROBABLY DID.]

[Not that they said that, but whatever.] Looks like we're on plan B.

Make a rope, make a line, and try and pull 'em on?

Yep. We'll make two. Badass can standby to knock off any zombies who might climb on and me and you will try and drag them in. ...This goes without saying, but if either one gets bitten or turns out to be bitten we drop them.

I'm not putting the passengers we already have in danger.

[Nods.] Of course. No infection risks on board.

Well we'd better get started. ....How come the one time I get to be in a room with half naked women we're trying not to die. This game really is a nightmare.

[HIS LIFE SOB]

[I may have picked up the baby again.]

[Shut up, it's a baby and I want to take care of it.]

[Ngggggh, people, but hoard.]

[ Is babysitting a bunch of military jerks and likely is not a part of this conversation unless called for specifically! ]

[Actually, military....]

Hey, do any of you guys got rope?

Nope.

[ YOU PROBABLY LEFT ALL OUR ROPE GUYS TO DIE ]

[ Don't get sassy with us, you ungrateful twerps. ]

Ready to try and knock off any zombies that might climb on board?

Yeah, yeah. Guess I may as well.

[Nods.] Zelos and I are gonna make a rope to compensate for not slowin' down, but some might get close.

A rope?

Yep!

Help pull 'em up real quick.

[WE DIDN'T HAVE TO SAVE YOU AT ALL.]

...jeeze. [So unprepared, military guys.] Right, right, plan B then.

We punch the zombies!

Partially, but let's leave that to the woman with the fake arm that's safe to get bitten.

Zelos and I were thinking we were gonna make a rope out of passenger's clothes and try and use that to pull those two up and knock off any zombies that try to climb on.

I'm a robot, right? I can get bitten.

No.

We don't know how your anatomy works, you still feel like flesh. It could be a skill thing if you weren't born like that or because the armor ain't working, you're not actually like that.

Badass has some physical skill and a fake armor. She's got a better chance.
