DAYS OF MADNESS GAME 2/GR PARTIAL REPLAY OF GAME 1 STARTING SCENE: Characters are in the news van, driving east on Int. 80. It is about 6:00AM, and a snowstorm is just beginning to let up. CHARACTERS: News Crew: SUSAN T________________ (NPC), TERRANCE CHESKY (NPC), REJENNE _____________ (Stefanie) Motel Survivors: MARK ROBY (NPC), MARTY WOLFE (Josh), LT ________________ (James) New Characters: Bernard "Bernie" Callahan (NPC), Checkpoint Guard 1 (UNPC) You are driving up Interstate 80, going slowly through the scattered stalled traffic and the driving snow. Terrance is in the front seat, peering through the snow that blows past the window. Rejenne (Stefanie) is in the passenger seat (-2 to all frontal perception difficulties). ALL EXCEPT REJENNE (Stefanie): The rest of you are crowded in the back of the news van, with video equipment piled up around you. Even with the heater blasting air, the ride is still cold and bumpy. Susan grabs a satchel full of equipment and wires, and throws a bottle to Mark, who is lying in the back of the van nursing his arm. He nods his head in thanks, and takes a swig from the Whiskey bottle. She rummages around some more, and comes up with two more bottles. "Anyone? I could use it." REJENNE (Stefanie): You creep onward through the driving snow, which is now starting to subside a bit and letting the first gray sunshine of morning feebly glow. You drive along for some time, when you start to notice the stalled traffic getting thicker. A mass of abandoned cars, trucks, and construction equipment builds a growing wall around your two lanes of Interstate. Suddenly, the road ahead shines alight to a cacophony of flashing yellow. A semi-trailer is parked blocking the road ahead, and signs direct you off the next exit, a tightly walled corridor made by cement barriers on either side. There looks to be a number of makeshift buildings set up, and a light is on in one. Terrance stops short. There is a turnpike blocking the road. ALL OTHERS: You lurch as the car stops short. THE GUARD interrogates REJENNE (Stefanie)... -- WRITE THIS DIALOGUE!!! -- SCENE: Detention Center THE GUARD unloads the five of you into a brightly lit makeshift office. The room is cold, and the biting wind seems to blow right through the canvas-covered walls. The floor is gritty linoleum, caked with dirt and muddy water. The room is bisected lengthwise by a chain-link enclosure, a makeshift holding cell. This half of the room looks to be an office and a dispatch area. A radio and a number of walkie-talkies are on the table, as well as a laptop computer and an old manual typewriter. There is a desk with a number of papers spread about it, and a small black-and-white portable television lazily flipping through cameras trained on the snowstorm outside. There is a wooden bench against the outside wall. The other side of the room is a shocking sight. It is a holding cell, a cage of gnarled chain-link. There is a narrow gate, locked with a large combination lock, and a crude wooden bench against one wall. The floor is covered in dirt, blood, and broken glass, and a pile of dead bodies is unceremoniously heaped in the corner. From the top of the pile, you meet the empty gaze of another masked soldier with a shattered faceplate and a length of steel rebar shoved through one eye. On the opposite side of the cell, huddled in the corner, is a woman wrapped in a cheap, rough "Indian" blanket they always try to sell the tourists. She says nothing, staring intensely through you, sitting on the wet floor. (WOMAN IN CELL: Age: 34, Ht: 5'11", ragged, light brown hair, has a large gash and swelling above her right eyebrow.) The guard goes through the steps of processing (WRITE LATER). The guard bends down over the lock and fidgets with it for a few moments, getting somewhat perturbed when it doesn't open correctly the first time. He ushers you into the cell. Mark stumbles in and collapses onto the bench. -- Further story: o Dead soldier has lock combination on a piece of paper o Woman in infected/insane o Bernie arrives outside o As they try to open the gate, woman attacks o Bernie has a little .22?I'm d
