at 01:35 | In the WarehouseLet's try to drown it! Because I would like to know if the water zombies are a threat. Otherwise, it seems about as dumb and not fast as I was expecting. So I vote trial drowning. If the water zombies are neutralized, we have a higher likelihood of getting out and helping this Jane lady. Everyone?

at 14:22 | In the WarehouseIt's tied up, so... Knock it over and attempt to drown it? There's gotta be a funnel around here or something we can use for that... So try to find something, use some of the water we haven't boiled yet and just try to dump water into its lungs?

Funnel or something like it is easy enough to find, so not gonna bother rolling for this.
It takes a little while to get somewhere with what you'd call a "result", but as it turns out, even with its lungs full of water, the zombies fine and still trying to bite. Only real difference is the growling sounds more like gargling.

at 18:25 | In the Warehouse"Ok, assistants," I say, donning an immaculate white lab coat and glistening science goggles out of nowhere, "first things first! Lets heat up some metal for hot poker poking, let's get a bucket of water as cold as it can be for cold tolerance, let's cut off a miscellaneous body part and see how long it takes to stop moving, let's get swabs from the nasal, rectal, and oral cavities, and swipe them on these here agar dishes, and let's see if this sucker can understand language."
(to the bound and gagged zombie, smiling an exaggerated smile like one would to a toddler whomst one has only just met) "HELLO ZOMBIE! Can you say hello back to me?"
I start writing notes on a clipboard, taking measurements of the cranium, I feel its forehead (with gloves on!) to take a rough temp, and take its pulse at the wrist and throat, I take notes on smells and the creature's appearance.
"ZOMBIE! WOULD YOU LIKE SOME BEANS?!" I pull a can of beans from the stores and start opening it right under the zombie's nose.
"Guys I am 100% down to try and drown this thing but only after we torture, I mean experiment a little more. Now who is going to volunteer to try to elicit a sexual response? That's good data! I want to see how much of the brain is preserved here, which parts have been erased by whatever pathogen is causing this. Nose goes!"
I swiftly touch my nose with the hand that has not touched the zombie.
"Also, are there any rats around here? Maybe we could infect some or try to make a vaccine. Tell Jane we are happy to meet up with her if she and her ilk will submit to a physical inspection so we can be sure they aren't disease vectors."

The measurements of the cranium don't tell you much of anything, it has no pulse whatsoever, it's temperature is just above room temp. It smells terrible, like putrid meat.
During the bean test, it snaps it's teeth, but it's pretty definitely going after you and not the beans.

at 12:53 | In the WarehouseActually, I think that kind of testing is uncalled for. While I'm always game to get new knowledge, illiciting a sexual response seems both ethically questionable and really not applicable to our end goal here. How about we see if we can drown it immediately, that way we can move on with our lives and hopefully leave? I'm gonna put some water in a bucket (I'm assuming there's a bucket and also water somewhere around here) and we'll see how it goes. If you want to do other experiments first, please do them quickly. I'm trying to get out of here ASAP.

*pulls out a little eighth jar of chronic and starts rolling a joint*
"Somebody rip its arm off. I can do it after I smoke this if you're all too chicken. Doesn't seem like this thing is alive in the traditional sense, I didn't feel a pulse. It smells like dead meat. It's decaying already, the body is broken and dead. But what is animating it? What makes it tick? And why? And how? And where? Without a circulatory system this thing is basically a bryophyte but why would a moss be so violent? Can it even digest the flesh it's gnawing?"
*lights up and offers the joint around*
"Do they poop? Do any of the organs work? I was never one to believe that the our life force is separate from our mortal coils but perhaps Descartes was right in his theory of duality. Clearly from the apparent rot, they are not immune to being digested by bacteria. I hypothesize that the insides are nasty as fuck, septic in the medical and the plumbing sense of the word."

Anthony shrugs, plants a foot on its chest, and grabs it's hand before wrenching back in an attempt to tear the arm off, managing to rip it at the elbow, holding the hand up.
"Now what?"

The zombie doesn't react noticeably to it's arm being torn off. The detached part flops around for a minute before falling limp. No blood other than a thick, black, foul smelling ooze emerges, dripping thickly onto the concrete.

Rolling to get the zombie high, you get a 7. You succeed in hotboxing the zombie, probably. No noticeable effect, though.

at 19:31 | In the Warehouse "Well this is all very interesting. My questions only lead to more questions and nary an answer. It stinks in here y'all. I think if we want to kill as many zombies as we can, we need to find a wood chipper and cordon it so there's a queue to get in. They'll be drawn to the noise and they're fucking dumb so they won't even notice when they step in and start getting mulched.
"Oh! If we want to leave the building without being followed, we should set something up that makes more noise than the van so they cluster around that instead of us!
"I am not hopeful that we can cure this. The necrosis is too damn high. As am I currently."
*offers the j around again*
"So what do you say, gang, create a noise machine and get out of here? Find this lady and gather together some information from the outside world? I for one would love to know the epidemiology of this here epidemic."

Neither were good, but it was a low bar to clear, and your intelligence is 4, so added on... You succeeded!
Amira recalls something important: there are barricades almost everywhere, and highway overpasses were blown up to prevent infected people from escaping. The truck won't be able to get you all the way out of the city, at least not as is.

There has to be a way, they can't have built a whole dome around the city can they have? We've got tools and our brains, there must be a way we can get through some shoddy-ass police barrier.
Does that mean the zombies are only in our city?
