( open ) our ag wing's back and you're gonna be in trouble (hey now! hey now! our ag wing's back)

[initiates]

Date & Time: October 31st, 3313, 11:59PM - November 3rd, 3313, ????
Location: Agriculture Wing, Moon Base to start. Cafeteria, warehouse, docking bay, VR rooms, Transport Pad, or Observatory later on.
Characters: Any & all!
Summary: Space Zombies are allowed out of the Agriculture Wing, slowly revving up their systems to try and infect and absorb as many of the Transports (or 12 Initiative Members) as possible.
Warnings: Log will be locked for potentially graphic violence. Please warn in threads should the violence or gore become graphic.
Notes: Specify a date and location in your top comment. You may specify multiple dates/locations. Specify a time if you wish as well.

Everything is a success at first, from the cool rush of air out of the Agriculture Wing once the doors are fully unlocked, to the heady sense of accomplishment for finally moving forward on something good for the long-term usability of the Moon Base. It's intended to remain a resource, after all, but not be a permanent home. Fraying tempers and the sense of cabin fever descending on Transports continues to showcase how important it is to get back down on Earth to regain some breathing room.

There's little enough dust between all the unmoving, unlit structures, many even supporting the barest dried husks of what once grew there. Upon the lightest touch, they disintegrate, turning into a dust that falls to the ground. The silent rows will be reclaimed and turned into functioning units, based on Transport efforts, and Transport time invested in the project.

There's just one problem. Something stirs in the reclaimed wing, among tangles of hosing and wiring. Skitterings and movements that make no sense for a long abandoned Moon Base. The further in Transports go, relying on magic or technology to generate light past the bare minimum maintained by the base, the more disturbing sights they may run into.

Of course, the most disturbing of all might be lying just around the far corner -- but don't worry, it's only a flesh wound. Try not to get surprised in the machinery, caught suffering from not looking up or caught making out with anything unsavory this holiday season, Transports. We need all of you to stay alive!

We can't bring you back right now!

[What a sight to see. Ellie takes a moment to take all that in--the coat, the hair, the weaponry. Sometimes this place still caught her off guard.]

I'm fine. What the fuck are you doing out here? Don't they need you in the clinic?

[She has no idea how many people have gotten hurt.]

[wilder]

[He makes a small little "heh"]

Yeah, funny story about that. As it turns out, a lot people tend to get hurt out here and not in the clinic- so a few of us get sent out to the front lines instead.

[vaccination]

And you can handle these things?

[Asks the small fourteen year old.]

[wilder]

Sure. This isn't exactly just an oversized cooking knife I had handy.

[vaccination]

Hey, just checking. Usually the healers aren't exactly fighters.

[In her fantasy and sci-fi books, at least.]

[wilder]

Heh, I know. But I didn't feel like feeding a cliche, so I learned both!

[vaccination]

[She laughs under her breath as she makes sure the arrow she retrieved is in good shape.]

How many of those things are there, you think?

[wilder]

I'm not sure. I'm kinda amazed they were up here in the first place.

[vaccination]

Looks like they were people. [How the fuck did it happen, though?] Someone got--infected, locked themselves in with the others. I don't know.

[wilder]

Locked themselves in with the others, huh? Talk about a jerk of a person they must've been.

[vaccination]

Explains the fucking state of this place, at least.

Think we have enough people to not totally die during this?

[wilder]

I think there's enough of us skilled enough if we watch ourselves, anyway.

[He tilts his head a little]

Have you been through something like this before?

[vaccination]

Uh--just about every fucking day, at home. You?

[wilder]

[Every day? Yeah...that explains a lot. He gives a little shrug]

Just when I went to school. Some genius thought building an academy near a cursed undead forest was a great idea.

[vaccination]

What? You had shit like this next to your school? Seriously? [She's imagining some sort of wizard's academy. zelos is harry potter]

[wilder]

[HE'S THE BOY WHO...croaked before even the climax welp]

Yeah. Well it was a bit north of the school, buuut we'd lose some freshmen every year.

[vaccination]

Christ. [So casual about that, man. Ellie hefts her pack and takes a few steps towards a doorway.]

Which way you heading?

[wilder]

[He points to the area that heads deeper into the agricultural area]

That way.

[vaccination]

[Her heroics only go so far.]

Are there people still in there?

[wilder]

No idea, that's why I gotta check.

[vaccination]

You gonna be alright on your own?

[wilder]

Heh...yeah! 'Course, I've faced plenty of monsters before.

[vaccination]

If you say so. Don't get your ass killed out there.

[YOU NEED TO HEAL MORE PEOPLE.]

[wilder]

Heh, hey don't worry about that. I refuse to die by such a gross way as zombies!

[vaccination]

[Zombies.]

And these motherfuckers are pretty goddamn gross.

[She looks down at her shoes. They're soaked.]
