Leo, in a dark field jacket, holds up a lantern on a dim night-station platform
Scene 01

The last train waits

Sirens echo across the empty station. Outside, the city is falling to the outbreak. Leo, a steady train guard, holds the last safe train for a few more minutes. You have time for one job before you board, so choose it clearly.

The empty shelves: Pip, a young volunteer with a torch, waves you into the supply room. Most shelves are already bare. There is time to grab only one kind of thing, so pick what will keep the group alive.
Scene 02

Which way out: Back on the platform, Leo spreads a torn map on a bench. The tracks split ahead: a short dark tunnel, or the long open bridge. A few more people are still limping toward the train.
Scene 03

Which way out

Back on the platform, Leo spreads a torn map on a bench. The tracks split ahead: a short dark tunnel, or the long open bridge. A few more people are still limping toward the train.
