1
Before starting today's mission to raid Last Rider supply dumps, Jody just takes a moment to remind your teammates, Dr Lobatse and Steve, about professionalism.
2
At the first supply dump, inside a tattoo parlour you find a cache of incendiary bombs. Next on the list you're off to a 1-Star B&B, but you'll have to take to the back streets to avoid some Last Riders.
3
The 1-star B&B contains some good anti-fungal medicine, Retaborin, at least. Your next stop, a theatre, is less a cache and more a place of interest for the Last Riders. You could pick up valuable intel, but there's a high risk of getting caught, with no escape.
4
You hurry inside the theatre when Steve's spotted. The show was an interactive version of CATS, where the audience, dressed in mouse masks, navigated an AI controlled maze full of 'cats'. Steve thinks you should play along, so on go the mouse masks.
5
Dr Lobatse wonders if the Last Riders want the AI here. Steve's hitherto unknown love of musical theatre comes in handy - he can get you all backstage, where you can grab the AI core.
6
The AI core is one Veronica's asked you to look out for. Timing will be everything for this escape: as the lights go out Dr Lobatse throws an armed incendiary bomb towards the doors, and you pull the core from the mainframe. Then it's time to get out of there!
7
The theatre's backup lights come on, alerting the zombies to your location. Luckily, the Retaborin found earlier is also an industrial lubricant, and you use it to slow the zoms. Steve and Dr Lobatse reach a mutual understanding about their relationship.
