TWR Sec Cam, Corner of Edge and Wild
| >left
| >Presently the camera has stopped on a street corner. There is a Bus Stop here, including a bus sign. There are a number of large silhouettes in the background- possibly homes? A few dark forms sway side to side slightly in the distance. There is a car parked here, next to a sewer grate. There is a street crossing here. The light flickers sporadically, occasionally bathing the whole street in darkness.
| >zoom on the forms
| >You zoom on the forms- they sway right and left, and seem to be heading in the direction of the camera, if very, very slowly. It's too dark to see any details. There are about six of them, of varying shapes and sizes.
| Shit. -CN
>zoom in on the car
| >The car sits pleasantly alone and unmolested- a late 2XXX model sedan with some signs of rust. It looks like its tires could use some replacing, too.

>You zoom in on the street crossing. It's the corner of Edge and Wild, a bus stop- nothing too out of the blue here. A few trees sway in an oncoming breeze and a nearby payphone sits next to useless.
>From this angle, you can see the keypad, and the phone itself- there's a small yellow light here, which hasn't turned on in what looks like years.
>A rubber tire rolls by, bumping against the sidewalk before falling to a stop.
| >Zoom in on the yellow light
| >>105609
>You zoom in on the light. It looks like a normal LED- largely designed to help people know when someone was on a call if they were waiting in line. As you view it through the camera, it begins to pulse, turning on slowly. There's an incoming call.
| >Although you can't hear anything (no sound), you do see the phone rattle slightly in place.
| Who the hell is calling a payphone? -CN
| >>105806
>Speak of the devil... someone approaches the payphone and picks it up. They're wearing a thick hood and pick it up with one hand- you see their other arm bouncing around, someone's holding onto it.
| >zoom in on the bouncing arm
| >Attached to the bouncing arm is another, shorter person who is also heavily clothed. They couldn't be much older than their preteens, or perhaps younger.
| Oh don't tell me... -CN
>zoom in on the other arm of the taller figure
| >You zoom in on the other arm... there's nothing to really distinguish it from anything else, honestly- its covered in winter clothing, and both figures are wearing thick mittens. However, when the figure finishes its phone call, they hastily almost slam it back onto the receiver- they turn and immediately begin to pull the smol along.
| It seems you have a rescue to do, CN.
-Shepherd
| >What else will you view?
| >Zoom smol
>Screencap
| >The camera zooms in on the smol as they quickly walk away from the payphone. You can't get much from the angle and quality, but they appear to have red eyes...
| >Both of them suddenly break into a sprint as they leave the camera's pan range!
| Dammit... -CN
| I wish for this arm to be installed, So that I can be whole again, and help.
-Shepherd
| >What else will you view with the camera?
| Guess ill leave it to them...
>zoom in on the tire
| >It's an ordinary tire. It was rolling down the street a few minutes ago and then came to a stop here, on the sidewalk.
|
| >zooms back in the direction of the first forms from earlier
| >zooms out
| >You zoom out...
>There is a police spinner here- it had crashed into the ground and slammed into a wall, one of its occupants having flown through the armored windshield, dead. You can only see the other by its arm hanging limply on the side, while the rest of its body is covered in a mass of squirming, disturbingly humanoid forms. The vehicle is on fire- it just barely illuminates not six figures... but *dozens* of them... all shambling in the direction that the tol and smol ran.
| >Zooms in on the arm
| >Zoom in on the other figure
| >The other figure's face is too smashed to be usable... though judging from his uniform, he too was a GCPD officer.
| >Zoom in on the chest looking for credentials
| >You search and find nothing!
| >zooms in on the moving figures
| >With their shambling gait, slack jawed mouths, and plethora of bite based injuries, these things are all too familiar to you.... cyberzombies. Hundreds of them. >A few stop over to devour what's left of the hapless police officers while still others march on, although some seem uniquely modified- painfully self inflicted "augmentations" made of random scraps of metal and chrome slapped on. Several seem water logged, and a few are bloated like gigantic, undead balloons.

>The camera swivels around for a little bit before coming to a rest. It looks like it's been unlocked- you can control the camera by entering a command, such as
> left, right, up, down, and zoom.
