The Cusp

Zombies, they're on the loose! I'm running across a field trying to dodge them, they're eating everyone else. I come to a small river with a pretty strong current and see it carry away any zombies that wander into it, and figure it will make a nice barrier the zombies won't be able to cross. A few other people arrive at the river as well, and I help those who can't make it on their own across.

On the other side, we've got a nice little group, and we decide we're going to build ourselves a zombie proof compound. From above I see a bulldozer digging out an area an piling up dirt walls. Next thing I know, I'm inside our new compound with my group. The place was made to keep zombies out, but not asshole humans. Some goons show up and want all our stuff. Thinking we're going to fight them off, I kill one of them, a woman who's being a royal bitch. THat's when I notice nobody else if fighting back. I hide her body in the bathtub and hope nobody will notice she's gone.

Turns out we were WAY outnumbered, and hundreds of the goons show up, basically assimilating us. On the plus side, they throw a huge BBQ. I'm still worried about the body in the tub being discovered, but when I go back to check, one of our guys has hidden the body in the ceiling. The goons take us with them aboard a freaking zepplin, and we end up crossing the ocean and going to Paris, where we lost control of our craft to aliens.

The aliens herd us into a building, and into elevators. THere is one alien in each elevator, and it fits four additional humans. My turn comes and I cram into the elevator, when I notice a pile of crutches in the corner. I ask about them, and the alien says the ascent can be hard on the knees. I bend mind anticipating my legs getting crushed, and our elevator shoots upwards. We shoot up super fast for about two seconds, and I realize we are now aboard the alien space ship.

The interior of the craft looks like an office building, and we are quickly assessed and assigned jobs. The funny part is, we're treated better on these jobs by the aliens than our fellow humans treated us in normal jobs. Better hours, better care, not worked so hard. An alien leads me to where I'll be working according to what his papers tell him. He leads me to an out of the way door, and is surprised because hardly anyone gets put here. I go in, and there are a handful of humans in there, but no aliens. Turns out I've been assigned to be taught psychic powers, trained by a computer.

There's some hidden hand helping us humans. Our psychic training was not part of the official plan, but part of a plan to free mankind. The computer gives us hints about how we're going to free ourselves. mentioning something called "darts". These so called darts are everywhere. THey look like a chew toy for dogs, and the aliens are using them to hold pens and pencils. I ask about them, and the aliens laugh, saying it's a technology that never worked right, and the consider them kind of a joke. The things are everywhere, and I know these will somehow be pivotal to overthrowing the aliens.
