RSCPR response thread re: the "red" virus

Just 5x flare things, i waste money :3

 

When peoples health reaches zero due to zombie attacks or other means they're dead, here's where to check your health:

Only in fiction. This is real life. It's inconceivable that the FU1UP1 strain would ever result in reactivation of necrotic cells... :rolls_eyes:

 

So:
After a weekend of bloody fighting and tragic losses, the embattled survivors will be pleased to hear that the cavalry have arrived… AND THEY BROUGHT TANKS

As @Umel1_X has suggested, there are only a few tanks available; however, there are a range of other vehicles all offering unique advantages/disadvantages.

Also:
Some more “conventional” weapons (like rifles, RPGs, chainsaws, etc.) have turned up! Apparently we were supposed to get this stuff the first time around; but there was a mix up and so we got the scrappy stuff. See the list below for more details, post in the thread to claim your new weapons & vehicles.

Re: a cure for the infection--
RSCPR has (thanks to a lead developed by @Tynite, Professor Juniper, @Stevedog, and @toffie0) come up with a formula using irradiated, iodised vodka (yes, apparently that's what was in those bottles) that they believe should stimulate the formation of antigens in infected hosts, thereby curing those who are not yet become zombies and killing/weakening those who have been zombified.

However, a few key parts of this formula will have to be harvested prior to attempting to prepare & apply it:

• Liver of Dev
  • That's right, people. We'll need to acquire quantities of liver from the very people who brought us KAG. As such, you will need to track down/stalk @Geti, etc. in-game, kill them, and then take a screenshot of you holding their corpse. You'll need to make sure you also get the killfeed record of you killing said Dev in the picture (just so we know the liver is really, really fresh). Also remember that devs re-grow their livers after 24h; so feel free to harvest @Geti, et al. multiple times over the next few days.
• Blood of the Immune
  • Yes, there are those who seem to have avoided infection despite being exposed and not receiving medical treatment. Barbaric as it is, for the greater good of all you must do this. Decide amongst yourselves who has shown themselves to be immune (using logic, perhaps?) and then harvest their vital fluids!

The ultimate success of this cure will depend upon us obtaining both a sufficient quantity of dev liver and the vital fluids of at least 3 known immune persons! Failure to obtain these ingredients will doom us to battle the ever-growing hordes without hope of redemption

Finally:
The lead of RSCPR R&D, Dr. Lilly Swaith, has developed some battle mechs which she claims would be suitable for control by “re-energized neural tissue” (which, best as I can tell, is what you get after you take the brain of a recently deceased person, expose it to stupendous amounts of radiation, and then seal in a jar filled with what Lilly refers to as her “special sauce”). So yeah. Those of you who are all dead ‘nstuff; welcome back to the fight! (Once we, you know, have fired up the gamma engine--which I’ll be doing right after I post this).

This is it people. With all this tech, this cure, and the return of our fallen heros (yay!) we’ll make short work of this apocalypse. Let’s do this!

New supplies:

Spoiler: Weapons

Pick one of these:

• M2010 ERS sniper rifle long range
• Dual berettas versatility
• MAC-10 Ingram damage output

And one of these:

• RPG-7 armour-piercing
• Chainsaw melee viability

Spoiler: Vehicles

Pick one (check others' posts to make sure it's still available):

• T-90 main battle tank (2 available) +power & durability, -speed & manoeuvrability
• M1117 armored security vehicle (12 available) balanced stats
• BMW R1200GS dual sport motorcycle (40 available) +speed & manoeuvrability, -power & durability

(post in the thread to claim weapons & vehicles. Those in battle mechs will not need weapons or vehicles--they have flame-throwers and scary-looking rending claws to make with the killing )

 

Alas!

The solar storm has struck and not only has it fuelled the mutations of the zombies; but it has thrown the gamma engine out of calibration! I'll be working through the night with Dr. Swaith, Professor Juniper, and Dr. @Verrazano to see if we can get this thing working--we need those irradiated weapons if we're going to have a chance of stopping @Galen and his legions!
