Fear and loathing wasn’t the only thing in the air in Millbrook 3 months ago. And, unfortunately, Callum had gotten himself caught up in the mix. Now he’s being interviewed by someone from the EPA, of all people.

:callumnarrate: I peeked out a little bit through the curtains and saw an idling sedan in the parking spot for the apartment next to mine.

:reporter: I’m going to attempt to maintain continuity on this disc, but I was just wondering, whose phone did you use to make a call the second time?
:callumnarrate: I don’t know who owned the phone I took. I found it in the upstairs hallway of my apartment complex, and it was taken by the police once I got out of Millbrook.
:callumnarratelook: Did they not carbon copy you on whatever report they made?
:reporter: No, they didn’t really cooperate with the EPA on this one. Probably because they didn’t think a group named “the Environmental Protection Agency” had any business taking police reports.
:reporter: Despite our best efforts to get information on the worst industrial disaster since Bhopal that took place on American soil, we were not able to get so much as an inventory of what you had on you when you left.

:callumnarrate: Oh, yeah, so my stupid cell died, and the thing doesn’t have a rechargable battery, it takes those removable battery packs, so I was going to go up to my friend, Eddie, on the second floor to borrow his landline. I went upstairs from my first floor apartment and just found it lying in the hall.

Well, you could use the hammer and screwdrivers to bust open some doors, get some better equipment, clothes, etc. It's not polite, but like. Life or death. Also, you could check if somebody is dying in there. Though...I guess there's not a lot you can do. And might die, yourself. ...You don't have another set of pants, yourself? Or clothes in general?

Wallpaper might be useful for wrapping yourself in, to defend from...something. Dunno, though, seems like that might be clunkier and gap-filled than useful. Too bad you didn't find plastic wrap.

Hmm. If you think there's a possibility that there's access to e.g. a sewer or tunnel or something, open all the doors on the lower floor that you can, being careful of possibly toxic rooms.

If you can figure out a fairly quick method of getting them open, I guess you might as well check upstairs rooms, too, until you feel you have enough equipment.

Look for a landline, and a radio, and really any general tools.

Look also for potted plants to sacrifice to Science and Survival, by e.g. setting one near the door, opening it for a split second and running away, and observing what happens, how quickly/if it dies. If you can find another, and some garbage/plastic bags, try putting a plant in a bag and see if that protects it. Probably don't want to try this too many times, though, lest we foul our safe air. Depending on results and resources, when you eventually decide to try to go outside, wrap yourself in garbage bags, wear a towel to HOPEFULLY filter the air, and try not to stay outdoors too long.

Open doors with your tools, and find a bag or something to keep your stuff in.
Start with Eddie's room.

Yeah, let's try forcing our neighbours door open.

:callumnarrate: I called out a couple more times for Eddie, like that would have done anything after banging loudly on every door in the building.
:callumnarrate: Since it was his apartment I knew exactly where everything was, so I went around grabbing basically anything I found remotely useful.

:callumnarratelook: I had gathered everything I found that was of remote use within a few minutes, including Eddie’s handgun, his baseball bat, a pack of batteries, a digital watch, a couple TV guides and gossip magazines, as well as his trusty, iconic jacket that he never wore.
:callumnarratelook: As well as the screwdriver, hammer, and gloves from before.
:callumnarrate: I also had one of his potted vegetable plants against the sliding door to the balcony, but it must’ve weighed a metric fuck-ton because I, for the life of me, literally, could not move it without using both of my hands.
:callumnarratelook: I put on the jacket and the watch, which noted that the time was 11:25 AM.
:callumnarrate: And then I was just sitting in his room for a couple minutes, alone, and not knowing much of what to do.

Task as Callum: Is it…
a) Time for science? (1 vote already)
>Use the potted plant and other objects to test what’s going on with the fog.
b) Time to go out and find Eddie?
>Search through other rooms to find where Eddie might have gone.
c) Time to loot other rooms? (3 votes already)
>Make sure that we have enough supplies to continue.
d) Time to find a way to communicate with the outside world? (1 vote already)
>Find a way to send out a broadcast of some sort to warn the government or the public of what’s going on.
…And what items should Callum take?

for jackets pocket take the gun and the hammer, pockets the screwdriver because tools are for getting into things, and take the baseball pat in your hands.

Search for where Eddie could've gone, and then start looking at the other rooms for anything. I think our primary goal is extra storage, utility tools, and then food.

The ground is being stripped of material and we so one corpse out there dead of an unknown death, it is a good idea to *not* let any fog get into the building in case there's a central HVAC unit.

If we do plan to escape however, we should see about taking the potted plant out of the planter and thrower but after we're finished in this building, so that we can have a better idea of how much time we might have exposed to the fog (I'm assuming the fog itself is dangerous and caustic, and not anything else).

I don't see any reason to take a gun. It's more likely someone innocent will get shot with it than an attacker.

Jacket, hammer, screwdriver, batteries, watch if you don't have one already.

Try opening other rooms to find Eddie.

It's reasonable to leave science until we're about ready to leave (barring plan-changes due to said science) - look for a backpack or something
>>

c) Time to loot other rooms.

Let's keep the screwdriver and the hammer in the jacket pockets, and the batteries in the pant pockets.
I don't really see a use for the magazines, maybe check what's on TV today? Don't keep them, they're a waste of inventory space.
Leave the bat and the gun, there is no point to carrying weapons for now, we checked the building, we are alone. We can always come back for them before leaving. And firing a gun is gonna end with a destroyed window.

:callumnarrate: I rearranged everything under the covers of Eddie’s bed.
:callumnarratelook: I also wasn’t hard-pressed to notice that the room was different from what it was about a week before. Eddie’s ammo crate, the one he made off with from a military surplus store about a year back, wasn’t here anymore. Several other things were off but I couldn’t quite remember what else was in the room.

:callumnarrate: There wasn’t anything else of much use in this apartment. The watch also beeped with an alarm, it was 11:45.

Task as Callum: What now?
a) Continue to look for Eddie.
>Get back to searching immediately.
b) Stay here and flip through TV channels for a bit.
>The search for Eddie will eventually continue, but for now it might be good to get some information if there’s any on the news.
c) Go loot more rooms.
>Gotta be extra sure you clean the hell out of this building.
d) Go back to Eddie’s apartment or the janitorial closet and get a new set of supplies.
>Going back to other rooms to get items is available at any time.
e) Another choice, not listed here.

>There is also the option to inspect, discard, or use any item(s) you have, which will not take a full turn to do.

:callumnarrate: I turned the television on and tuned it to the news station a bit east. More towards Portland but not quite. It’s somewhere between Yarmouth and Portland.
:callumnarratelook: Anyways, it looked like a completely normal news segment. No warnings or anything. Just some normal news report on some heist or whatever.

:callumnarrate: After about two minutes of listening to the news anchor talk about some armoured cars getting robbed, some sort of noise started. Sounded like some sort of machinery.
:reporter: What exactly did it sound like?
:callumnarratelook: The most god-awful noise I have heard. Not anything like an HVAC system. Just this really low rumble that permeated the air. It almost hurt -

:discplayer: End of disc recording.
