I don’t know where the zoo is. I’ll let Frost and/or Alice do the talking here.

Cromer Pier

I don’t know where the zoo is. I’ll let Frost and/or Alice do the talking here.

As the others talk, Amoretto vaguely remembers seeing a sign to the zoo when he passed under a railway bridge on the way to Cromer...

Spoiler: Memories (click to show/hide)

Roughton Road Railway
They arrive at a thickly wooded area, the trees overgrowing a tiny railway station. The faded sign says Roughton Road, below a symbol of two parallel lines and arrows. They pass under the bridge and soon reach a crossing, houses sprawl away in the cul-de-sacs. A sign on the road heading northwest says Amazona Zoo. The main road continues north.

Issac considered that he should probably exercise some degree of caution about what he goes around telling children. Were the people dead? They seemed a bit sullen, but that hardly seemed out of the ordinary in a post-apocalyptic world. For now it seemed wise to gently discourage her behavior.
 
"That's quite the accusation. Do you have any evidence of this?"

"Well, even if you do there are good reasons for you to stay here. Take it from me its dangerous on the other side of these walls! Robot dogs and raiders prowl the lands and these are some of the more mundane threats. Do you even know where you would go if you decided to head out on your own?"

(I need to go to bed, so no update until Sunday. But instead enjoy this brief interlude...)

Tower of London
Somewhere outside a raven caws and pecks at a half-metal corpse. At her desk in the tower, Ray sips her coffee. It's black. She would have preferred it white, but all the cows are dead. Most of London is dead. She takes a puff of a cigarillo. Plenty of these left. No reason to hope for old age either, why not smoke? She glances at the map in front of her, pinstruck with flags. The river has been weirdly quiet these last two days. The screen in the stomach of the man strung up on the stone wall, gagged, unconscious, flickers on. She's been getting snatches of this show all day. Almost like they want her to catch the frequency.

The screeny is grainy, the footage shot from on high. Two men, one masked, take out a cyberlion, a god damn cyberlion, with a flip and a flurry of blows. These are mutants. Her brothers and sisters. And hell! They can fight! The building behind them has a sign peeking out from the vines. WALT NORCOM. She picks up a walkie-talkie from the desk. Live batteries are like gold dust, but she doesn't need them. The LED on the handset lights up when she touches the case.

"It's time," she says, when the line is picked up. "Boys and girls, we're heading to Norwich!"

El Tigre looks good for camera, and it zooms in, taking in him and the other fighter. Vladislav beams and shakes the pain away in a wave of euphoric optimism. Everyone else around feels slightly more positive about the situation, running headlong into a fight with the razor-tooth dogs.

Sandra snaps to, back in the world outside of Walt Labs. She has a strange flash sense of the area. Something's not quite right, like there's a hole in the world that everyone is ignoring. Then the sense fades. She sees everyone rush into the ruined restaurant.

Ben lobs a screwdriver at a cyberdog and runs out. It doesn't even scratch the dog, but he manages to escape the building unharmed. Goldstine and Red Cap run down the stairs and meet the dogs as they're coming up them. Goldstine lamps one of them in the face with his rebar club, smashing its metal teeth in, but the other latches on to his leg, cutting deep. Red Cap jams at it with his pike, but misses.

El Tigre and Vladislav get to the bottom of the stairs, behind the two cyberdogs.

[Sandeep rolled 5+6+1wits-1cuthead=11]
The fires are burning on south. If anything they seem to be growing, spreading... Sandeep gets to work gathering food and fuel. There's plenty of wood here and he snaps off a good bundle that will serve a decent camp fire. As for food, while the retail units here were long ago picked over he does spot rabbits nibbling at some young nettles. They could be boiled or fried for food. All it would take is a fire and maybe something metal to cook on.
