Scenes

Scene summaries may contain spoilers
1
Before you can start today's message retrieval mission in neutral Worthington-on-Sea you'll need to wait for the signal. While you do that Amelia tries to update everyone on the current political situation, without much success.
2
It's very quiet as you make your way through the town. Amelia, Maxine and Sam discuss your contact at The Laundry, and what Janine might be doing right now.
3
Underneath this settlement's listening post is a bin containing post for Abel, including a coded message from Ellie Maxted, and a mysterious package for Amelia.
4
Maxine has decoded the message: The Laundry's attempting to rescue the babies from Sigrid's serum factory. Amelia's mystery package is from her estranged husband, Valmont. But, you'll have to quiz her about it after escaping some zoms!
5
You've walked into a trap! The leader of this settlement has lured a horde of zombies in after you. Despite Amelia's protestations, the 'faux romantic' package contains something useful: a perfume that will distract zombies.
6
The perfume successfully distracts the zombies, but a cannon blast indicates Abel's time in Worthington-on-Sea is now over. There's now another horde ahead of you, but helpfully the package from Valmont contains hidden guns.
7
When Valmont provides guns, they're not just any guns - they are laser sighted, AI assisted guns. You make quick work of the zoms and are almost at the border.
8
A short hop over a wall and you're back in Abel territory, where Sigrid's guards can't touch you without risking war. Maxine finishes decoding the message: unfortunately the baby factory has been moved. Amelia resolves to help you find its new location.
