Scene summaries may contain spoilers
1
Sam admonishes Janine for forcing herself into action despite her worsening physical condition. She insists that the current situation demands her leadership - the horde of previously dormant zombies from Niomh Island is approaching Mor, and she must organise the defence. You and she head to your first stop - Paula, in the centre of town.
2
You head into the centre of town, where you find Paula leading the evacuation, despite Morag's protestations. Janine attempts to reassure Morag that the defence of Mor is well in hand, but she and the other residents are clearly terrified. Paula gives you a batch of home-made arrows to deliver to the archers on the beach.
3
Arriving on the beach, you find Jody leading a group of Mor residents in defending the island using bows. You mark the approach of the Niomh horde by monitoring a swarm of gulls on the horizon, who follow the underwater zombies, eating pieces of flesh which drift to the surface.
4
At the Laird's manor, you find a rush of civilians crowding into safe spaces to shelter from the oncoming horde. Laird Reid passes some items on to Janine, including an accordion and some bagpipes. These in hand, you run to the wind farm to meet Chief Macallan.
5
Chief Macallan is set up at the wind farm with his deputies and the church choir, all carrying instruments of various sorts. The hodge-podge band is intended to be a noisemaker to assist Janine in controlling the horde once it makes landfall.
6
From the cliff-top, you aid Janine in demonstrating a McShell manoeuvre to the gathered Far Hebrideans. A zombie, tied to stake, is freed by Tom, who wields a claymore. You run.
7
You succeed in leading the zombie over the cliffs, demonstrating the successful use of the McShell manoeuvre. The final preparation for the defence of Mor is complete. Now all you must do to survive is execute it perfectly.
