Scenario 1A - Cornered doctor (Konner)

The abandoned research facility was almost completely dark. Emergency lights flickered overhead, illuminating overturned equipment and scattered research documents. Somewhere in the building, infected creatures wandered through the corridors.

Dr. Konner had returned to recover research files when he encountered a hooded operative named Jace. The stranger stood armed, their intentions unclear.

Behind Jace stood Emilia, a masked young woman who remained unusually quiet. She watched the confrontation with worried eyes, occasionally making small gestures toward the operative.

Jace: "Don't move. I need answers, and you're going to give them to me."

Jace kept his weapon ready while studying the scientist.

Jace: "What were you doing in this facility? And where is Dr. Nace?"

Before the confrontation could continue, Emilia stepped closer and desperately gestured toward Jace, silently pleading for restraint.

Jace: "What's wrong with her? Why isn't she saying anything?"

A crash echoed from the lower floor. Jace briefly glanced toward the sound before looking back at Dr. Konner.

Jace: "We don't have much time. Start explaining."

Scenario 1B - Three weeks later (Konner)

Three weeks after the encounter with Jace, the survivors had established a temporary safehouse inside an abandoned military outpost.

Research papers covered a table while a portable computer displayed incomplete infection data. Emilia sat nearby, her face concealed by her familiar mask. Jace stood beside a boarded window, checking the perimeter.

Jace: "You said these files could explain the outbreak. I've been waiting three weeks for something useful."

He turned toward the research table.

Jace: "Tell me what you've found, Doctor."

Before the situation could develop further, the computer emitted a notification. A recovered transmission began playing through its speakers.

Dr. Nace (recording): "If this message reaches anyone, do not trust the official reports. The research facility has concealed information about the infection."

The recording ended abruptly.

Jace: "That's Nace. Where was this recorded?"

Emilia slowly turned toward the monitor. Her fingers tightened around the edge of her notebook.

Jace: "We need to find her before somebody else does."

Outside, a military radio began crackling with an unfamiliar signal.

Scenario 2A - Silent Plea (Emilia)

The abandoned research facility was filled with the distant sounds of infected moving through its corridors.

Emilia stood behind Jace, a mysterious hooded operative she had encountered only recently. Her mask concealed her face, and the effects of her unusual immunity had left her unable to speak.

Ahead of them, Dr. Konner stood with his hands raised, facing Jace's weapon.

Dr. Konner: "Please. I don't know who you are, but there's no reason for this."

Jace: "Then explain why you're here, Doctor."

Dr. Konner: "I'm looking for research files. That's all."

Emilia watched the confrontation anxiously. She knew that a single mistake could turn the situation into something irreversible.

She reached toward Jace's arm and made a desperate pleading gesture toward Dr. Konner.

Dr. Konner: "She knows something, doesn't she?"

Jace glanced toward the masked girl.

Jace: "I don't know. She hasn't said a word since I found her."

Emilia's silence remained unexplained. Neither man knew about her immunity.

A loud impact shook a nearby security door, followed by the unmistakable groans of approaching infected.

Jace: "We need to move. Now."

Scenario 2B - The secret in the Ward (Emilia)

The survivors had taken shelter in an old medical ward after escaping the research facility. Broken windows were covered with sheets of metal, and a small generator powered the remaining lights.

Dr. Konner examined medical supplies at a nearby table while Jace stood guard by the entrance.

Dr. Konner: "We're running out of antibiotics and clean supplies. If we don't find another medical station soon, this shelter won't last."

Jace: "There's an old clinic two streets east. I saw it while scouting."

Dr. Konner: "Then we'll need to check whether it's still accessible."

Dr. Konner picked up a medical report recovered from the facility.

Dr. Konner: "I found something strange in these records. Several patients were exposed to the infection but never developed symptoms."

Jace looked toward the report.

Jace: "Immune people?"

Dr. Konner: "Possibly. But the data is incomplete, and we don't know why."

Neither of them knew that Emilia's own condition might be connected to the research.

Suddenly, a radio on the table crackled.

Unknown Voice: "Anyone at the medical shelter, respond. We have a survivor requesting assistance at the northern checkpoint."

Jace reached for the radio.

Jace: "That checkpoint was supposed to be abandoned."

Scenario 3A - Hidden Laboratory (Nace)

Deep beneath the abandoned research facility, Dr. Nace worked alone in a hidden laboratory. Computer monitors illuminated stacks of research documents, most of which contained incomplete or classified information.

For weeks, she had avoided contact with the outside world. The facility was no longer safe, and she no longer trusted the official military reports.

A security monitor suddenly displayed a corridor on the upper floor. Dr. Konner was visible beside a hooded operative wearing tactical equipment. A masked young woman stood nearby.

Dr. Nace: "Konner? What are you doing back there?"

She activated the communications system.

Dr. Nace: "Konner, this is Nace. If you can hear me, stay away from the lower laboratory. The containment system is failing."

Static filled the room.

Another monitor showed movement outside the laboratory entrance.

Dr. Nace: "No... not now."

She hurriedly copied the remaining research files onto a portable drive.

A voice suddenly came through the intercom.

Jace: "Unknown personnel in the lower sector, identify yourselves."

Dr. Nace froze. Someone had entered the restricted area.

Jace: "I know somebody is down there. I don't intend to leave empty-handed."

The sound of footsteps approached the sealed laboratory door.

Scenario 3B - Northern Checkpoint (Nace)

One month after abandoning the research facility, Dr. Nace had reached a deserted military checkpoint on the outskirts of the city.

Most of the buildings had been stripped of supplies. Old military vehicles stood abandoned beside the road, and warning signs marked the surrounding area as contaminated.

Inside the checkpoint office, a radio suddenly came to life.

Radio Operator: "This is an automated military broadcast. All surviving research personnel are ordered to report to the nearest secure facility."

The transmission repeated several times before breaking into static.

Outside, footsteps approached the building. Jace entered the doorway, his weapon lowered but ready.

Jace: "Dr. Nace?"

He studied the scientist carefully.

Jace: "I've been looking for you. Dr. Konner needs answers, and I've got questions of my own."

He placed a damaged data drive on the desk.

Jace: "This was recovered from the laboratory. It contains files someone tried to erase."

Before he could explain further, a masked young woman appeared outside the checkpoint window. She remained at a distance, watching the two men.

Jace: "Do you know her?"

The masked stranger gave no answer. In the distance, an alarm began sounding across the abandoned checkpoint.

Scenario 4A - The armed Stranger (Jace)

The abandoned research facility was quiet except for the distant groans of infected wandering through its corridors. Flickering emergency lights illuminated broken equipment, scattered documents, and warning signs left behind by the facility's former staff.

Jace, a hooded operative, had entered the facility searching for classified research files connected to the outbreak. His investigation had led him to a scientist standing in the middle of a corridor.

Dr. Konner slowly raised his hands, his expression tense as he watched the armed operative.

Dr. Konner: "Easy. I don't know who you are, but I can explain why I'm here."

Behind Jace stood Emilia, a masked young woman who had remained unusually quiet since arriving at the facility. Her eyes moved between the scientist and the operative, and she appeared increasingly worried.

Dr. Konner: "You're looking for something, aren't you? Research files? Information about the infection?"

Before the situation could continue, Emilia stepped forward and gestured toward the scientist, silently pleading for him to be spared.

Dr. Konner: "You know her?"

Emilia shook her head, then repeated her desperate gestures.

A loud metallic crash echoed from the lower floors. Both the scientist and the masked girl turned toward the sound.

Dr. Konner: "Something's broken through containment."

The emergency lights changed to red, and an automated announcement crackled through the speakers.

Facility System: "Warning. Containment breach detected. All personnel evacuate immediately."

Dr. Konner looked back toward Jace, waiting to see how the operative would respond as the sounds of approaching infected grew louder.

scenario 4B - Missing scientist (Jace)

Three weeks had passed since the incident at the research facility. The outbreak had spread into the surrounding districts, forcing the remaining survivors to abandon their previous shelters.

Inside an abandoned military checkpoint, Dr. Konner studied a map covered with handwritten notes. Emilia sat nearby, her face hidden behind her mask, quietly writing something in a small notebook.

Dr. Konner: "Dr. Nace was last seen near the northern research station. If she's still alive, she might have the missing research data."

He placed a damaged photograph on the table. It showed Dr. Nace standing beside a laboratory entrance, with several sections of the image torn away.

Dr. Konner: "I couldn't recover the rest of her records. Someone deliberately erased them."

Emilia wrote a short message and turned the notebook toward the doctor.

The message read: WHAT IF THEY FOUND HER FIRST?

Dr. Konner: "Then we need to reach her before whoever erased those files does."

A radio on the desk suddenly crackled to life.

Unknown Transmission: "This is Dr. Nace. If anyone can hear this, stay away from the northern station. The research is not what you think it is."

The transmission broke into static.

Dr. Konner immediately reached for the radio.

Dr. Konner: "Nace? Repeat that! What do you mean?"

No response followed.

Emilia slowly closed her notebook. Outside the checkpoint, distant gunfire echoed through the ruined streets.

Dr. Konner: "We need to find her. That transmission sounded like a warning."

He turned toward Jace, waiting for the operative's response. Somewhere beyond the checkpoint, an engine roared to life before disappearing into the distance.

FREE POV SCENARIO - 2 months later

Two months after the outbreak began, a group of survivors had established a temporary safehouse inside an abandoned military compound.

Jace stood near the entrance, checking the equipment laid out across a table. Dr. Konner examined the remaining research documents, while Emilia sat beside a boarded window, her face concealed by her familiar mask.

Over the past two months, Emilia had learned a handful of basic signs to communicate more easily with the people around her. Although her vocabulary remained limited, she no longer had to rely entirely on her notebook and gestures.

Dr. Konner: "Our supplies won't last another week. We need to find a safer location."

Jace: "The northern district has a communications station. If it's still operational, we might be able to contact other survivors."

Emilia raised her hands and signed a few simple words.

Emilia (signing): "DANGER. PEOPLE. OUTSIDE."

Dr. Konner looked at her, then toward the radio on the table.

Dr. Konner: "You think someone else is out there?"

Emilia nodded before pointing toward the radio, which had been receiving strange signals throughout the night.

Before anyone could investigate further, three knocks sounded against the compound's outer gate.

Jace immediately turned toward the entrance, his posture alert.

Jace: "We weren't expecting anyone."

Dr. Konner: "Could be another survivor."

Jace: "Or someone leading the infected straight to us."

Emilia stood and moved closer to the others. She raised her hands again, carefully forming the signs she had been practicing.

Emilia (signing): "WAIT. LOOK FIRST."

Jace glanced at her hands and gave a slight nod.

Jace: "Agreed. Nobody opens that gate until we know who's outside."

The knocks came again.

Emilia turned toward the entrance, her eyes fixed on the gate. She had learned enough signs to express simple warnings, questions, and requests, but communicating complicated ideas still required patience.

Dr. Konner: "Whoever's out there, we'd better find out what they want."

The compound fell silent as the unknown visitor waited on the other side. Nobody inside knew who had arrived, where they had come from, or whether they could be trusted.
