In Decay/Chapter 1.1: Smokescreen/Transcript

This is the transcript for Chapter 1.1: Smokescreen.

Empty Cupboards
George Alder: ...well, today is our last day of food. It's been three months guys, and it seems that this will be the first day of extreme survival. We're going to have to risk looting further into the town, we're going to have to be apart from eachother and we're going to have to fight for our lives.

Ethan Sumner: Listen, George. It's been great staying in your apartment, but we really need to move base. We only have one gun, for emergencies, and that has one bullet left.

George: What do you propose Ethan!? We are FUCKED! We only have one gun, we have no food. Where do you think we'll go?

Andrew Collins: There is no point of staying here. If we die, so be it. I'd rather die out there struggling than die in this deteriorating apartment doing nothing.

Ethan: Andrew's right George. We've gotta go.

Shaun Murphy: For what it's worth, I agree with those two George.

George: Right, so where are we headed?

Ethan: Well, one of the most central places in the town is Cybertron Collectibles, you know, Douglas' shop. If he is still alive, we could probably go there. I'm sure he'd appreciate some support more than anything.

Shaun: If we can find an intact car around the building, we can use that. Ethan, you know how to hotwire stuff don't you.

Ethan: Yeah, my sister showed me how to. That reminds me, we need to check at Yellowstone's AutoRepairs, my sister was working there when the outbreak began.

Andrew: Is that really safe? We need to protect ourselves here.

Ethan: We have to try. The shop is en route to the centre of town, and if she is in there somewhere, I've got to make sure she is safe.

George: Okay Ethan, we'll look for Layla. It's possible there might be some weapons in there too, so it's probably for the best. We'll pack some important stuff, but nothing more. There is a shit-ton of boxes in the cupboard.

Andrew: I'll get them.

(Andrew goes and gets the boxes)

Shaun: We'll have to do this with the possibility we may not be able to meet Douglas. I'd say the computer, toolbox, some pillows and some blankets will be our best course of action.

Ethan: That sounds good. We should also take a few empty boxes, just for extra storage, if necessary.

George: Yup, I can dig that.

(Andrew comes back with some boxes)

Andrew: I can dig that? Seriously.

Goerge: Sorry, I don't know where it came from.

(The group pack away George's computer, toolbox, pillows and blankets)

George: Right, take this outside and hotwire us a car guys. I've gotta little something to do here.

Ethan: Righty-o, see you in a minute.

(Ethan, Shaun and Andrew leave the apartment with the packed boxes. George approaches the drawers in his bedroom and opens the top drawer. He pulls out a photo album and flicks through it. He takes out an unseen photo and tears it, leaving the pieces to drift out the window)

George: I'm sorry.

(George then takes the photo album and puts it in a backpack. He grabs it and goes to the kitchen. He opens a drawer and pulls out a cooking machete. He then leaves the apartment and joins the others)
