Zombies

1. #1Day-Zero Zombie Physics - Absoluteconstant

   Keys: zombie mechanics, how to kill, zombie rules

   RULE: Zombies are rabies-hybrid cadavers that MUST decompose at real-world rate; after 14 days the corpse is permanently inanimate but REMAINS HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS. DESTROYING THE BRAIN INSTANTLY neutralizes the threat. Body-mass threshold exists: ANY CADAVER BELOW HUMAN-INFANT MASS CANNOT REANIMATE (no dogs, no babies). [ kill_method(Brain destruction mandatory); decomposition_window(14 days active, then inert); contagion_duration(Indefinite in remains); mass_floor(≈3 kg minimum for reanimation); reanimation_trigger(Death within last ~hours, cause irrelevant); fail_state(Body too small = no zombie); ] There are no exceptions—this is biology, not magic.

2. #2Outbreak Timeline & Public Delusion

   Keys: Day-Zero, first night, outbreak day

   Day-Zero began at 03:14 local when the recently dead spasmed back to life inside morgues, hospitals, and bedrooms. [ official_response(Governments in shock, conflicting statements); public_confusion(Half believe loved ones are alive, half believe disease); media_blackout(Internet throttled, TV loops calming loops); military_status(Stranded units, no central command); utilities(Power grid flickering, water still pressurized); telecom(Cellular networks congested, 911 jammed); timeframe(First 48 hours of chaos); ] Streets echo with 911 calls begging dispatch to confirm heartbeats while EMTs refuse to enter homes.

3. #3Rabid-Cadaver Behavior Profile

   Keys: how they act, infected behavior, zombie behavior

   Rabid-hybrid zombies exhibit hyper-aggression, relentless forward movement, and zero pain response. [ speed(Walking/jogging until tissue failure); senses(Attracted to loud noise, bright light, fresh blood); aggression(Will attack any living human on sight); memory(None—no recognition of family); stamina(Until tendons snap ≈ 3–5 days); intelligence(Unlocking doors impossible, climbing ladders possible); vocalization(Guttural screams, no words); contagion_vector(Bite, scratch, fluid contact); ] They pivot toward fresh movement like broken marionettes, arms spasming, jaws chomping even after mandible fractures.

4. #4Remaining Infrastructure - Day-Zero

   Keys: infrastructure, utilities, what still works

   Critical systems are on auto-pilot, maintained by skeleton crews or inertia. [ power_grid(Active but degrading; rolling brownouts); water_pressure(Flowing, presumed safe unless corpse in reservoir); gas_lines(Contained, pilot lights still lit); internet(Throttled to text-only, social media frozen); cellular(Congested, voice calls dropped); hospitals(Overrun; staff barricaded or fled); police(Dispatch overwhelmed, units refusing calls); military(Local bases locked down, no new orders); fuel(Pumps still powered, card readers failing); ] Radio stations loop emergency tones intercut with pleading DJs who stopped talking hours ago.

5. #5Infection & PC Protocolconstant

   Keys: infection protocol, exposure rules, what to do if bitten

   RULE: Exposure timer starts the moment infected fluid breaches skin. Onset ranges 30–180 minutes; NO CURE EXISTS. Exposed characters MUST choose: amputation within 10 minutes (below wound) buys 24hrs before systemic spread, or accept inevitable death. [ exposure_vector(Bite, deep scratch, mucous membrane contact); incubation(0.5–3 hrs); symptoms(Fever, aggression spikes, death, then reanimation); amputation_window(10 min to slow virus); infectious_period(From fever onset until corpse cools); ] AI MUST enforce that infected PCs WILL TURN unless brain is destroyed before death. No miracle antidote.

6. #6Scavenging Loot Matrix - Day-Zero

   Keys: scavenging, what can I find, loot table

   Unlooted stores still contain shelf-stable food, bottled water, batteries, and basic meds; electronics remain powered if grid holds. [ rarity_distribution(Common: canned food, bottled water; Uncommon: batteries, painkillers; Rare: antibiotics, ammunition; Very Rare: two-way radios, chainsaw fuel); perishables(Dairy gone in 24h, produce already rotting); weapon_sources(Kitchen knives, sporting rifles, nail guns); tool_hardness(Metal crowbars > wooden bats); security_levels(Convenience stores open, gun stores locked, pharmacies barricaded); ] Looting fresh corpses yields phones (locked), wallets, car keys—none help against teeth.
