[Alicia]
You turn to Travis. “What kind of materials do we need to make the grenade? Since the grenade does need casing.”
[Travis]
You glance over to Matt and Irene as the rush out the door.
“Good luck you two.”
You return your attention to Alicia.
“Well, the casing can be glassware or something else that will shatter or break on impact, the stuff inside could be acid or alcohol depending on what we want to use the grenade for.”
[Alicia]
“So would vials work?” You turn to Irene to wave as they run out of the door
[Travis]
“They would work, but it would be a good idea to use some larger flasks for larger grenades, but we might as well take as much as we can so that we have a good idea of what we have to work with.”
You start to wonder about who is actually working toward surviving this thing.
Matt is probably trying to organize enough people into a group so that we have a better chance of surviving, Irene probably is trying to work out who is worth being told major planning details...
A distorted voice in your head rings out
Where does that leave you?
You shudder inwardly.
Guess I am gonna find out.
[Alicia]
You open another cabinet. “Ahh, here we have some flasks and beakers. We can put them in my backpack and cushion them with my sweatshirt and pillow pet.” You don’t hear an answer. “Travis?” You turn to see him standing there, looking out in space. Man he looks tired. I must have been out for a long time.
As you stood there waiting for a response, you wondered how Irene and Matt looked so strong and confident while Travis looked worn out. I am the weakest if I was the one who had a mental breakdown?
[Travis]
You snap back to reality.
“Sorry, what, yeah we should pack this stuff up carefully.”
Shit, I hope I didn’t space out too long.
You start to shift the chemicals toward Alicia.
Just gotta stay calm and focus on reality
You can try
You continue to move the stuff trying to not look like you might be starting to crack under the pressure.
[Alicia]
You take out all your binders but left a notebook just in case you needed the paper. You place the pillow at the bottom so the beakers and chemicals you plan to place is cushioned. You take the chemicals and the vials that Travis hand to you and place them gently. After everything is piled, you zip up your bag.
“Okay, anything else?”
[Travis]
“I can handle the scissors and tweezers.”
You put the scissors and tweezers in your pockets.
Going to have to focus on the tasks at hand if i’m going to get through this.
[Alicia]
“Okay, where is base?” You slip on your bag and then strap on your spear. “Lower MST or cafeteria?”
[Travis]
“We are in the Media Center and I think we are getting our food from the cafeteria, but I don’t know for sure, haven’t had time to check or ask.”
You start to move toward the door.
“I think the main breach is down stairs, but I wouldn’t know exactly where or how big.”
Hopefully someone comes up with a plan to close up the breach, or we will all get worn down until we are all overwhelmed by zombies.
[Alicia]
“Okay. I think I’m going to check out the Health room to see if it’s unlocked and get supplies from there. I’ll see you later.”
[Travis]
“Bye”
You leave the chem lab and head back toward the mediea center.
