In Decay/Chapter 2.1: The Black Star/Transcript

This is the transcript for Chapter 2.1: The Black Star.

A New Day
(George walks up to Douglas, who is sitting down.)

George Alder: No trouble then Doug?

Douglas Visser: Nothing at all. I spent most of the night twiddling my thumbs and listening to some shit radio.

George: You get a radio reception?

Douglas: Somehow. I don't entirely know if I want to hear it, but it's there.

(Douglas turns on the radio.)

Radio: As we speak, the quarantined town of Dusty Springs is still roaming with people affected by the ETX-7 virus. Earlier today, the government have announced the development a medium-range ballistic missile under the name of the Black Star. Currently, the plan is to target the town, destroying all traces of the virus. We will keep you updated.

Douglas: Hmm, that doesn't sound too good.

(Lucy walks in.)

Lucy Reddington: What doesn't sound too good? I mean, I don't think we can be trapped in a worse situation.

George: How about this, they want to lauch a missile attack on the town.

Lucy: They want to do what? Do they realise people are still alive here?

George: Ethan's already killed two officials, do you think they give a shit about the people in here?

Douglas: We don't know the progress of this missile. We'll need to start trying to escape right now.

George: What can we do? The whole town is surrounded by a concrete wall. There are no entrances, nor exits.

Nearly a Plan
(Ethan walks in.)

Ethan Sumner: It seems you've forgotten that I am here. I have an idea.

George: Okay then Sidis, what's the idea?

Ethan: Well, working under the assumption that we can retrieve all neccesary materials, we could craft explosives and blast a hole right through the wall.

Lucy: Those walls are about three metres thick, how powerful are you expecting this bomb to be.

Ethan: Explosives, Lucy, not a bomb. The word bomb will worry the children.

Lucy: You are one of the youngest here Ethan. Who are these children?

Ethan: Alex.

Alex King: Thanks for that.

Ethan: No worries. Anyway, I'll go and draw up some schematics. Apparently you'll be going out scavenging with Layla today, George.

Layla Sumner: Yes you will. We were thinking about travelling to Tesco Metro. If we don't find supplies, we'll certainly find survivors.

George: Nice idea. When shall we go?

Layla: Well, it'd be wise to go now, while it's early and light.

George: Good call. Let's head out.
