Unusual behaviour of Zombies
Shannon
I suppose the solstice is approaching, but that would only account for......
Nearby, one of the guards lets out a mocking snort .
Officer Jeong
Aww, poor baby saw a few zombies. That's what the outside world is like, so you'd better get used to it .
Amy
oh yeah ? If the whole world is like that, then how come zombies never come within miles of here ?
Officer Jeong
It's the elevation. Drones can't function in extreme cold, everyone knows that.
Amy
Except the reasearch station we went to today was even higher up the mountain!!
Amy
If the drones I saw today are normal, then what the hell is stopping zombies from swarming the Tower right.......
A strong hand grips Amy's shoulder, and she looks up to see Brynn standing right behind her, face locked into a tight smile.
Brynn
There are no zombies around here because our security forces are the best of the best. We're lucky to have heroes like Officer Jeong protecting us.
Amy opens her mouth to argue, but Brynn gives her shoulder a sharp squeeze. A moment later the guard scoffs, jerking her head at the door .
Officer Jeong
Report to the supply depot to turn in your gear. That means weapons and anything found at the reasearch site.
Brynn
Of course. Come on ,Amy .
Brynn immediately steers Amy towards the exit . Shannon gives Amy a little wave as she pass.
Shannon
Bye ,Amy. I hope........ maybe I'll see you later?
Amy turns to wave back, pausing as she see the guard, still glaring at her, making a note on her tablet.
Once Amy is well away from the guards and into the Tower proper,Brynn cuffs her upside the head .
Brynn
Yeah, Amy , what the hell? What've I told you about mouthing off to guards??
Amy
Oh come on, I shouldn't have to put up with Jeong's condescending bullshit just because she's one of Blackstock's goons .
Amy
Besides, is it illegal to have opinions?
Brynn
Only if your opinions are loud and insubordinate .
Amy
Pretty sure 'loud and insubordinate' is exactly what is said on my last report card.
