Go to the Bioinformatics Building (75%)Elliot swerved away from the edge of campus and the broken police checkpoint. It was tempting to speed away from school and not look back. Sam couldn’t know what they did; she still thought she had caught this infection at work.She didn’t know about Dr. Zalenka, she hadn’t seen the photos in his diary. But Ruby had.If we ever want to reverse this, we need to know what this disease is and how it works. That meant Dr. Zalenka’s notebook, but it also meant…-

Flee Out the Window (50%)Whatever creature was making that noise, Elliot knew he didn't want to meet it. Those claws sounded like they were tearing through parts of the building with every step. Even the sturdy fire-doors separating each dorm would not likely survive for long under that assault."We can't stay here," Elliot whispered, as low as he could. "We have to make a break for it." He stood, leaving Ruby momentarily on the floor while he crept over to the window. These were huge, on a crank that…

Get his word, then set him free 93%"Obviously we wouldn't leave you in there," Elliot approached the cage, studying its latches and locks. Getting this open wouldn't take much effort, so long as his fingers still worked. For how long that would be true... "We'd still like your word that you'll help us. If we open this, you answer our questions. You don't attack or run off. Promise?"The horse-creature stared up through the opening, huge eyes exasperated. "You shut down the Resonator and you're letting me…

Wait for Night for Rescue (58%)Elliot couldn't go right away, no matter how desperate his girlfriend's situation seemed. If he rushed right to campus in defiance of the order, he would only get himself caught, possibly imprisoned. He wasn't sure whether or not he would abandon the contract-tracing device. If the outbreak was related to his present experience, there wasn't a whole lot knowing where he went would benefit the CDC, or FEMA, or whoever else might be responsible for tracking such things.He had…

When Elliot was a small child, he once contracted the stomach flu. Nothing quite equaled the misery he experienced in those weeks, living on the bathroom floor and ejecting his stomach every few hours, while his body ached and shook with constant pain. When it finally ended, he never imagined he would experience anything so horrible again.And he was right, until that 'cold.'Elliot couldn't say exactly what happened the next few days; sometimes he was awake, other times he slept. When he did wake, it was…

Park somewhere safe and walk through the tunnel, (43%)Elliot could've barged straight through, just like Sam wanted. But whatever had torn through that police blockade could do far worse things to the two of them, half-transformed into who knew what impossible forms.He turned sharply back the way he'd come, then down an alley between a few darkened shops. The space was largely deserted, missing many of the cars he usually found parked there. "Pedestrian tunnel opens near the parking structure on 30th.…

Nicole didn't sleep in the entryway that night, much as she was tempted. As she explored the room, she found what she might've expected at an expensive Tokyo hotel, not a primitive bomb shelter. The whole space was perhaps twenty feet long and eight tall, with every inch utilized to the fullest. There was a bed mounted above a little work desk, and a bathroom with a shower that could fill the whole space.It wasn't just looks, either. The amenities might be made of crystal and strange marks, but they…-

Gilda stared forward at the scroll in her claw, hardly believing her eyes. Of all the places she'd interviewed, the days spent searching with increasing desperation, she hadn't imagined the Ponyville Spa of all places to accept her. But Lotus's dense scroll of hoofwriting was quite clear on that fact—not only was she accepted, but she should come in as soon as possible to begin her training."With the Summer Sun Celebration taking place in Ponyville this year, we anticipate overflow crowds. The position…-

Blair knew she was on the right track.She'd known it for weeks, maybe months. But this time, she was certain. Three times she had propped the 14th District, located deep under Nova Canterlot's incredible concrete pylons. Three times her drones had reported massive cavities filled with organic material, arranged in orderly rows, before vanishing from the grid.Now at long last she had learned all she could from the electronic eyes of disposable drones, and it was time to go down for real.She dressed the part…-

It wasn’t just the Elements of Harmony who prepared for the worst that morning. In a country as peaceful as Equestria, the looming death of so many was news that spread. The morning came exactly on schedule, along with scheduled rain in most large cities to commemorate those who died. There was just one problem.Pinkie Pie didn’t expect anything to happen. She watched from the other side of the screen as Fluttershy extracted her cockatrice from its cage—the monster itself just an outline. Her whole…-
