Teresa wanders around town, blowing little fuzzy-tailed rats into clouds of pink mist with her new toy, occasionally entering shops and shoving things into her pockets. Along the way, she ditches her messenger bag in exchange for a pair of backpacks. She wears one on each side of her torso, which is exactly as awkward as it sounds, seriously
encumbering her upper body. She finds a nail gun and a packet of nails in a hardware store, which will work much better against small woodland creatures. Upon exiting the store, she comes face to snout with a wolf, which shortly thereafter gains a shiny new nail in its left eye.
As she continues through the town, she hears a strange voice repeating her name in her ears in a gentle whisper. A few moments later, she begins to shake uncontrollably, and then feels the irresistable urge to lie down in the middle of the road and sleep. Thankfully, her
Insomnia prevents her from succumbing to this aspect of her mental illness.
With no sign of the undead, Teresa continues to wander, collecting random things, including a substantial supply of vodka. She makes several molotov cocktails from the inferior rum and whiskey, and continues to walk around town until she finds a small circle of bodies in lab coats and dust masks. She pulls several bottles of water from their pockets, along with a pair of strange electronic devices and a blob of some sort of purple gel. She reaches down to pluck a small, plastic card from the lapel of one of the corpses. Suddenly, she notices a squirrel sitting a few feet away, staring at her with those beady little eyes. She tosses the card back onto the corpse, pulling one of her new molotovs out of a backpack, lighting it with a few slow movements, before gently backing up, and then tossing it at the squirrel. The little monster quickly darts off as the flames consume the corpses.

Sorry about the lack of pics right now, but imgur is having trouble with uploads, so I'm going to wait and edit them in tomorrow morning. For reference, we've now got medical and biohazard CBMs, but with no power and no skills, there is no point in mangling the body of our heroine in a failed installation, unless you all want to be complete bastards and turn her into a
crippled, schizophrenic, insomniac with a squirrel fixation. We've now got the Savage, the nail gun, the spear, and 3 molotovs as weapons. We've got at least a week worth of food and water, so we should be able to make it to the next town over without any problems, which is the only real option at this point as I've been wandering around in the open shooting off one of the loudest rifles in the game for hours and still no zeds. We've also got quite a bit of vodka and medical supplies, as well as a few books of marginal use.
Teresa burned the scientists because of her IC reason to do so (the squirrel), and because frankly, walking into a lab with a unmodded rifle and ~50 rounds, with no body armor, would be a very short LP.
So now, what will she do...
a) Head
Northb) Head
Eastc) Head
Southd) Head
WestKeep in mind, labs are to the Southwest and South, and I've occasionally seen robotic enemies spawn outside of them. There are beehives to the Northwest, and I'm not sure if the DOOMSWARM bug I've run into before is absent on this version, so it would probably be best to avoid those.
