[ 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.

[acemedium]

Yeah, they can fight.

[gandere]

Do we need to ask them all to do it?

Just one or two brave people... to save everyone. Just to run opposite of the train maybe?

[moderndaywhitemage]

Y-yeah. But the people without weapons can't fight back, so they should come in first.

[gandere]

It'd be ideal if that were the case, but...

[ Even people who can't fight are willing to throw themselves away for others, she thinks as she looks at the other girl. ]

It should be a volunteer choice. If no one does it, then we just risk bringing them all on.

[moderndaywhitemage]

['^']

All right.

[gandere]

So... we're all in agreement then, huh?

[ What an easy decision for them despite the meaning behind it. ]

[moderndaywhitemage]

Yeah, I think so.

[acemedium]

Will they do it....?

[gandere]

We won't know unless we ask.

Is it worth the risk to ask? They could turn on us for suggesting it.

[acemedium]

We have to save as many people as possible. Let's ask.

[gandere]

Let's hope there's a selfless hero or two in the group.

[acemedium]

The military's supposed to protect people...

[gandere]

I don't think it always works out that way, but let's see what we get when we ask.

[acemedium]

Okay.
